Hello to all!

We have a requirement to create a system which will permit users to dynamically create "data extracts" for export via XLS format.

Imagine the following:

  • A "known" datasource which includes a list of available fields. The user would select which fields they want in the extract and then move around the selected fields to create a custom layout/ordering.
  • I'll know in advance the underlying datatype, i.e., string, integer, currency, etc., and default length of the fields.
  • Once the "Go" button is clicked, I could create a "simple" report programmatically by following the steps listed here: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/programmatic-control-of-reports.html and then persist the resulting Xml.
  • ​Once I had the custom report "structure" serialized to Xml, I'd then initiate a call to a Custom Report Resolver as described here: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/telerik-reporting-rest-custom-report-resolver.html.

While the above seems feasible, I'm wondering if I'm over complicating things and there is a far easier way.

Also, as I using the "Telerik Reporting Services Web API" functionality, I'm curious what is the best approach for using both the default and a custom resolver.

​Thanks.

Sam.

Hi,

I have a report, which works fine, and now I want to add a title page to it.
Basically the first page has to be completely different from the rest of the report.
No detail section, different datasource, etc.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
CJ

Hello,

 I have a field which have to be processed before being display, One way is to do it at backend in database while getting data. But that will be very difficult. Is it possible that i can process a field value in an expression or calculated field where i could use loop and other features of .net?

Regards

Hi,

I have a couple of questions on the invoice demo example and it would be great if somebody could answer. I have to do a sales order report which has a very similar structure with sales order items, sub report, etc.

The relevant video can be found here: http://demos.telerik.com/reporting/invoice-report/video.aspx

-In the video, some fields are added to the top section (barcode, order number, etc.) How are these fields populated - I understood that data could only be populated from the detail section. I'm doing something similar at the moment and I like the idea of putting stuff in the header but the fields in the header won't populate with any data - only the fields in the detail section.

-What is the purpose of the small panel he puts in the bottom of that header at the 36 second mark.

-Why the large panel in the detail section?

 If anybody could shed some light on these it would really help my understanding of what's going on.

Thanks,
Tom.

Hi Telerik,

Good day.

api/reports/clients connection timeout telerik report"


Sometimes we have this errors that the Telerik Reporting API wasn't able to connect successfully or didn't achieve that 200 OK status. (Or sometimes its status is pending and won't proceed)
Is there a way that we can somehow "alert" the error message using JavaScript to the user so that we will be able to easily determine the cause (without pressing F12 or inspect element) on an instance that the menu tabs on top of the report (the reporting viewer template) appeared while the report in the middle doesn't display.


Thanks in advance.

I am having issues passing a parameter from my master report based on a stored procedure to my detail report based upon another stored procedure. I have narrowed down the problem to the following situation:

If the master report is based upon a stored procedure and I try to pass a parameter as a field from that procedure, I get a "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error in preview.

I have tested this with a variety of scenarios and this seems to be the only one causing the issue. I am setting the parameter for the subreport in the Designer as seen in the SetParameter.png attached.

It works if the master report is set to an SQL statement (not easily accommodated) or if I hard code the parameter to a value. It is only the above scenario that I cannot get to work.

Suggestions?

I am trying to figure out how to bind the ObjectDataSource in Xaml.  I am using the MVVM pattern and do not want to use code behind.  I cannot seam to find any documentation or examples that show this.  Everything I have found shows this being done in code behind.  I think it really is just a matter of getting the proper syntax.  If anyone has done this could you show me how this is done.  

 

Thank You
