We've stumbled on a show stopper problem (as we can't use Telerik Reporting as a solution) where we can't close a Telerik Report programatically if there are no records returned.  We're using the Telerik process where a web service is assigned to the ReportViewer and that web service contains a single line:

<%@ ServiceHost Service="Telerik.Reporting.Service.ReportService, Telerik.Reporting.Service, Version=8.1.14.620, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be" %>

We're unable to recover any return information (i.e. RecordCount = 0) that would allow us to issue a Me.Close on the Report Child Window that contains the ReportViewer control.  In fact, there is NO web service handler we can use i.e. a "Completed" handler to be able to get any type of return information.

Is this just a limitation of Telerik Reporting and hence we need to explore alternative products, or is there some method we're missing that will help us accomplish our application requirements?

Thanks, Rob.

I have a CrossTab with a row grouping and a column grouping. The data results in the row grouping displaying 12 rows, while the column grouping displays 8 or more columns. The width of the page can only fit 7 columns, so the overflowed columns are rendered on the next page. Is there any way to make the overflowed columns render on the same page? There's plenty of vertical space under the original 7 columns/12 rows to fit the overflowed columns/12 rows. The attached SampleReport.png illustrates the situation and desired result.

Hi,

I've created a webshop in Sitefinity. When a user finishes the order, a .pdf invoice file is send.
The first time this process goes without any problem.

The second time, the rendered .pdf is empty. I notice that creating a new instance of the report is very fast, the second time, so it looks like it is not creating a new, fresh instance.

This is the code I'm using:
/// <summary>
    /// Generate an invoice
    /// </summary>
    private Attachment GenerateInvoice(Guid orderid, string ordernumber, string att, string address, string att2, string address2) {
        try {
 
            rptInvoice report = new rptInvoice();
            Filter f = new Filter();
            f.Expression = "=Fields.OrderId";
            f.Operator = FilterOperator.Equal;
            f.Value = orderid.ToString();
            report.Filters.Add(f);
 
            // Invoice address
            report.Att = att;
            report.FullAddress = address;
 
            // Send address
            report.Att2 = att2 != string.Empty ? "VERZENDADRES:" + Environment.NewLine + att2 : string.Empty;
            report.FullAddress2 = address2;
 
            ReportProcessor processor = new ReportProcessor();
            RenderingResult result = processor.RenderReport("PDF", report, null);
 
            string reportName = "Factuur-" + ordernumber + ".pdf";
            string reportLocation = MapPath("~/Orders/");
 
            using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(reportLocation + reportName, FileMode.Create)) {
                fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
                fs.Close();
                fs.Dispose();
            }
             
            report.Dispose();
            processor = null;
            result = null;
 
            return new Attachment(reportLocation + reportName);
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            throw ex;
        }
    }

When I restart the webserver, or kill wp3 I can generate my invoices correctly...

What could this be?

Regards,
Daniel

Hello,

I am using Telerik's HTML5 report viewer version 8.2.14.1204.

Is there a way to provide a custom datasource for a Multivalue parameter?

I have read the http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-parameters-using-multivalue-parameter.html article and understand how to provide the list of available values from a sql query. However, what if I want to provide those values from a custom object like a list of custom models or a enum object?Is there a way to do that?

Thank you.

In a Graph control using a BarSeries, I know how to control colors of the bars as solid colors, but can't find how to color the bars of the BarSeries as a gradient. I've been searching but nothing seems to address this issue. It's on a Graph control, not a Chart. I'm creating the BarSeries in code.

Can view all report export options locally, but after uploading to Azure Cloud instance I lose many including DOCX and XLSX.

Copy Local = True on all references.
<Telerik.Reporting><Extensions><Render> all set to visible=true.


Version=8.2.14.1204

Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to installl Reporting Q3 2014 Trial. I have VS2013 Express for WEB installed. In the reporting installer all the "Visual studio xxxx support" checks are inactive. I can only select "Local Demos" and nothing more. 

Is there any way to install VS2013 support on VS2013 Express for WEB? If not, how can I add an "Object Data Source" to the new report I am creating in the report designer?

Thanks.

Hi all.  I am trying to create a crosstab report that groups categories and titles, while showing details of purchases within those titles by clients.  I am looking to building something similar to what is shown in the "What I Need" image.  What I have come up with so far is shown in the "What I have" image.  

There are more detail records than what is showing and that is the problem.  How do I go about showing the detail records as rows going down under the title groupings and not across the top as the original crosstab wizard created for me (as shown in the "Not what I need image")?  Is this even possible?

I'm okay if the report is a straight forward tabular report.  I have tons of those in the project, and I have a couple of cross tab reports, but this one is escaping me for some reason.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!
