I have created a report in Report Designer Q1 2015 . When I was going to configure the data source I was unable to load the combo box related to stored procedures. My database contained more than 100 stored procedures. I created a small database which has less than 10 sp's, then those sp's loaded to the combo box successfully.
Report Designer Q1 2015 is not responding when going to load large number of stored procedures. Previously I worked with Report Designer Q1 2014. But it didn't had this error. How can I fix this issue??

Is there a tutorial that I can distribute to my end users to help them with the Standalone Report Designer?   This was available with the Q1 2012 vertion and was a great tool for pitching  Telerik as a reporting solution. There was also a video targeted to the end user  that went over the basics of using the Standalone Reporter Designer.

How might I go about showing an average star rating of 2.75 out of 5 similar to the UI for ASP.NET AJAX RadRating control on a report?

When I try to preview a report in the designer I receive the following error:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Beacon.Utilities, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture-neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

My reports project does have this reference and the issue doesn't occur if I run the report at runtime; only when previewing in the report designer. The assembly referenced above has com interop dependencies. How can I preview reports without getting this error?

Hi there,

I tired to update my report viewer to a newer version and added the .xaml files to my project.
But there is som estrange behavior:
I added all five files as described in the documentation to the project, but with two files it says they can not be found, the others are there, like shwon in the attached screenshot.

Any idea about that?

Best regards
Manfred

Hi people
I have a problem with CSV export. When I export a report with a table embedded in another table all data from embedded table disappear in CSV file. What can I do to show all data using embedded tables?

I have a report which I would like to print a summary of the current report parameters on the last page.  I am using the Report Designer and the report currently has multiple sections to control summary totals with the tables and charts.  That part works fine.  I created a new section with an empty header and a footer that contains a textbox with the report parameters I want to print.  Set the property of the footer section to Visible=True and PageBreak=Before.  The textbox prints, however there is no page break.  It seems that the textbox is merged into the last footer section.  Is there a limit to the number of sections Report Designer can use?  I am currently trying to use four sections.

I wish to change the database the connection string is pointed to based upon a Reporting parameter. Is that possible? Or do I have to use the ChangeConnectionString class I found on another thread.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a parameter called @dbid and have the connectionstring be:

<ConnectionString Name="DynamicConnection" ConnectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=@dbid;Integrated Security=True"
                            ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

All within the designer. Is this possible?

Hi,

I have created trdx file from telerik Report designer and I have added a table layout with columns from sql datasource now I want to access it my ASP.NEt application there I have used this code 

 var settings = new System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings();
        settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;

        using (System.Xml.XmlReader xmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create("C:\\Lisensining\\Report1.trdx", settings))
        {
            var xmlSerializer = new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();
            var reportDocument = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(xmlReader);
            var reportSource = new InstanceReportSource();
      
            reportSource.ReportDocument = reportDocument;

            
            SqlConnectionStringBuilder scsb = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
            scsb.UserID = "sa";
            scsb.Password = "root";
            scsb.InitialCatalog = DataBaseName;
            scsb.DataSource = SErverName;
            Telerik.Reporting.SqlDataSource sds = (Telerik.Reporting.SqlDataSource)reportDocument.DataSource;
            if (sds != null)
                sds.ConnectionString = scsb.ConnectionString;

            this.SetConnectionString(reportDocument.Items, connectionString);
 
         
            this.ReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportSource;
            this.ReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
            
         
        }

It is working great and showing all the records from database table  but as I add filters to code report does not show any record
 Telerik.Reporting.Filter filter1 = new Filter("Fields.[ProductName]", FilterOperator.Equal, "Vista");
            reportDocument.Filters.Add(filter1);  

Now report viewer does not show any thing :(
