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.

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

The report designer does not allow this capability.

So, before the report XML is sent to the report viewer, we have a process that modifies the XML to adjust the width based on the internal data info at our disposal.

The issue is that the new WIDTH information seems like its being ignored, and when presented in the report viewer, the crosstab columns are being set to a width so the text heading with the maximum width does not wrap.

Here are two files:

         xml that is saved by the report designer (trdx)



        pst.xml contains the xml after our process makes its width adjustments.

In the report designer the three columns are showing as 0.6in, 0.8in, and 1.0in

You can compare the files to see the three lines where our process has modified the width.

Hi guys.

I need to have a localized ReportViewer, so i tried to inherit from Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.Reportviewer. I know that there are many workarounds to localize the control without inheritance, but I think that in my situation is the best way.

So, i tried to inherit from Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.Reportviewer, I created a class that implements the ITextResources interface and I tried to use the control, but it doesn't appear on the window anymore!

(I was using implicit style for the control in this way)
<ns:myReportViewer>
   <ns:myReportViewer.Resources>
       <ResourceDictionary>
           <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
               <ResourceDictionary Source="/Resources/Themes/System.Windows.xaml"/>
               <ResourceDictionary Source="/Resources/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml"/>
               <ResourceDictionary Source="/Resources/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml"/>
               <ResourceDictionary Source="/Resources/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml"/>
               <ResourceDictionary Source="/Resources/Themes/Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.xaml"/>
             </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            </ResourceDictionary>
        </ns:myReportViewer.Resources>
</ns:myReportViewer>

Hi,

I have a fairly "heavy" report with 4 graphs each containing around 2,500 datapoints (line series with markers, no datapoint labels). In Visual Studio report designer, the report takes a few seconds to render in Preview mode. However, when running my Silverlight dashboard application from Visual Studio and then trying to view the report in a Silverlight report viewer times out after 15 minutes (used custom binding to accommodate heavy load).

Is there a "limit" on the number of datapoints that Silverlight viewer can render?

We performed the upgrade version of Telerik Reporting Q1 2010 to 2014, but the background image resource, defined by the Report.Style.BackgroundImage.ImageData property, of the report it ain't been displayed in all sections of the document. 
After some research, we've became aware that some changes occurred in this functionality and the Report.PageSettings.BackgroundImage.ImageData property should be used instead. But even defining the background image in PageSettings, the sessions of the document which are not PageHeader and PageFooter didn't showed the background image.  
 
Some sessions of the Report, as the ReportFooterSection are displayed dynamically, so it is not possible to divide the background image into pieces to fill each session.
Also, it isn't possible use the feature PrintPreview, because the generation of the report occurs without user interaction. 
 
We saw that in http://www.telerik.com/forums/backgroundimage thread is suggested a solution using watermark. How should the report be configured to work with the watermark? We defined the watermark in Report.PageSettings.Wattermark as it follows: 
Opacity as 1, 
Sizing as ScaleProportional and 
Position as Behind. 
 
Still the same problem occurred: the watermark is only displayed at the sessions of the page, not at report sessions. 
 
Is there any solution available for this problem?
 
Reagards.

I installed the trial MSI which seems to have created the demo database. However, the only report that works is the Barcode report. The others all seem to return: Invalid object name: Sales.SalesOrderHeader.

I looked at the DB but there is no data in it.

My dev machine is XP Pro / VS 2008
My SQL machine is Win2k3SE with SQL2005.
