I've been using this tool, and it works well, but there are a few areas for improvement that I see.

Templates
Templates are great, except that there is no permanent link to the template. In essence, it's the same as creating a base report, and modifying it each time. While that's helpful, it would be great if we could go to the template and change something, and have it propagated  through the reports that use that template. For example, let's say I create a template, and then build ten reports from that template. If the user then decides they want a minor change, for example a change to the report header or a style change, then we need to go to each of the individual reports and make the change. Previously we used to build one or more report structures, and then derive all other reports from that, which gave us the ability to make a change in only one place.

Styles
First, is it possible to get an import/export of styles? I know there is an option to use external style sheets, but it would be cleaner if styles can be embedded in the report and moved from report to report where necessary.

Second, styles are duplicated when using templates. Let's say I create a report, use a wizard to add a table, using one of the preset styles. The styles get added to the report. I modify the style definitions in the report, and save this as a template. I then create a report usign that template,use a wizard to add a table, and the style names are duplicated in the report. I have to manually go in and delete the styles that were added, leaving only my original style definitions. If I keep using wizards to add items to the report, the number of defined styles keeps growing.

These things seem minor but they're time-consuming and irritating when trying to manage a large number of reports.

I have winforms application using telerik reporting. I have it connected to my database. I am always getting false for the following check in my group footer:

Problem

= IIf(Last(Fields.AllActivityLog_Purpose) In ('Remove [-]', 'Remove [-All]'), "true", "false")

 Always returns "false". This is absurd?


Sanity Check 1:  

=Last(Fields.AllActivityLog_Purpose)

it comes up as 'Remove [-]'.

Sanity Check 2:

=Len(Last(Fields.AllActivityLog_Purpose))
=Len('Remove [-]')

I get 12 for the first result and 11 for the second result.

Sanity Check 3:

=StringCompare(Last(Fields.AllActivityLog_Purpose), 'Remove [-]') returns 1 

Help

How can I get the Last(Fields.ActivityLog_Purpose) to pass it's check?
 

 

I created Report from my server database using  Telerik Report Designer . then I integrated those report into my MVC 4 Application , Everything working fine , 

I followed this Telerik Tutorial 

I commented below snippet also (in CSS File)

input, textarea { border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; background: #fff; color: #333; font-size: 1.2em; margin: 5px 0 6px 0; padding: 5px; width: 300px;} 

table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; margin-top: 0.75em; border: 0 none;}

td { padding: 0.25em 2em 0.25em 0em; border: 0 none;}

But I'm getting CSS issue like below attached image.

 I have 2 tables , "T_COMMON_COUNTRY" and "T_HEI_STUDENTDATA." using left join I joined these tables , 

this my query 

SELECT
[T_COMMON_COUNTRY].[COUNTRY_ID], 
[T_COMMON_COUNTRY].[COUNTRY], 
[T_HEI_STUDENTDATA].[STUDENT_ID]

FROM ([T_COMMON_COUNTRY]

 LEFT JOIN [T_HEI_STUDENTDATA]

 ON [T_COMMON_COUNTRY].[COUNTRY] = [T_HEI_STUDENTDATA].[STDCOUNTRY])

I want Count the number of students (Student_IDs) relate to a country , 

I'm trying to programmatically open a existing Telerik Report, change the connection string, pass-in the paramaters, and export it to PDF.  I am able to open the report, pass parameters, and export successfully but I'm having an issue with changing the connection at runtime.  I've seen several examples in the forum that show how to cast the DataSource of the Report object to it's appropriate type (in this case SqlDataSource), and then set the ConnectionString of that DataSource to what you want it to be.  This does not work for me, as the DataSource is set to Nothing (I'm using VB.NET) when I open the file (or instantiate the Visual Studio class).

I've tried this with both a TRDX file and with a Visual Studio file/class, both have the same problem.  Any ideas why this isn't working for me?

Hello,
I need to add a Code25Interleaved bar code in a report.
If I put 116201406001 in the bar code value and read it with a bar code scanner, the displayed bar code shows 01162014060018.
How can I remove the additional digits?

Hi All,


I am using IE 11, Windows 7 and Excel 2010. Telerik Reporting Q3 2014 for ASP and UI for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2014.  While Exporting to Excel, some large Black Text's shows inside the report. 

Is doing the same thing while exporting Invoice Report from Telerik report demo into Excel.  

Both files are attached.

I already spoke with Kyle Russell, Telerik Customer Advocate Manager in Boston, he is aware of this issue. See also my correspondence with him.

This is an urgent issue, that I need to address to my user's asap, because they export at least 100 Excel Files from Telerik Reports.

Thanks

Is it possible to generate a PDF from a telerik report from a .NET console application? The data source will be SQL 2000 and we cannot modify that server in any way. Is it possible to deploy all components necessary to another server and generate PDF reports designed in the telerik report designer, and without a web server or other additional servers? Where might I find more info on getting started with running telerik reports in this way?

Hi,

I am using telerik for generating reports, so i am infact converting the existing crystal reports of us to telerik reports,

i am getting a strange bug, so intially , whenever i try to launch the telerik report, i am getting following error.

* Report generation failed. Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. -- System.InvalidOperationException

but strange, is that , this bug doesnt reproduce, when i try to launch existing same crystal report. so once if i launch the crystal report and then try to started telerik report. the above bug doesnt reproducible. otherwise, everytime. i build and try to lunch the telerik report , without crystal report. i get the error.

any answer for this.

So, sadly, it seems I cannot use the nice new Redis cache for Telerik reports, because there is no support for Sentinel, and so there is no good failover story for high availablity.
That means I need to use SQL server as the cache. The online help seems to suggest using some custom interactive utility to configure the DB. That is not an option for us, we do a headless automated install, there is no way we can add a manual "go run this tool" step.
So, now can Sql Server cache be scripted for Telerik Reporting cache?
Cheers
John
