Hi, is there an example of generating some barcodes from field values in the database ? We are using code 25 interleaved ?

Thanks a lot,

Pete.

I've been making pretty good use of Telerik reporting over the past couple of months.  The blend of report bands (ala Crystal Reports) and tablix controls (ala SSRS) is useful.

There's one feature that I'm really missing from SSRS though - placeholders.  See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207048.aspx

It brings two key benefits
1. The ability to easily mix formatting of text within a single textbox.  Thus you could bold a bit of text, and in the same box, have normally formatted text.
2. Building on #1 - the ability to have multiple expressions within a single textbox.


It means that a list of names can be done as
Smith, John
Jones, Allison
Longnamen, Shorty

This natural look is quite appropriate in many listings.  It could be done with string concatenation and HTML formatting but this is much more difficult than just using placeholders like
[surname], [firstname]
as we'd don in SSRS.

The least-friction way to do this in Telerik report is 

Smith,           John
Jones,           Allison
Longnamen, Shorty

where we use two separate textboxes for surname and firstname - this leads to having to gauge how big surnames could be and then have the firstname always far enough over to avoid a collision.

Is this something you might consider for Q1 2015?  I haven't thought about it too heavily but I suspect you could implement it with some work in the designer to allow entry, storage and manipulation of placeholders.  In the rendering engine you could translate this to HTML formatted string concatenation.

Thoughts? :)

greetings, 
I have seen several videos of report design, but I could not find a document or a video that explains how to make a report with parameters, but the parameters sent from a textbox on a radForm. 

thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

I am creating a standalone report that gets data from my datasource. But when I generate my report it will display the data in one column that occupy a lot of space (see attached file)

Ex:

00001
00002
00003
00004
00005

Is there a way where the data can be displayed in  a row separated by a comma? Ex: 00001,00002,00003,00004....

Thanks

Hi,

I am using your HTML5 report viewer, along with WebAPI REST service (Q2 2014).

I am getting an issue where, when linking through to a second report, it is adding "C:\" as a prefix to the report name.

E.g.
A report "Header.trdx", which links through to "Lines.trdx".  The report viewer is asking for report "C:\Lines.trdx".
Having looked at the xml behind the report, the link/action is defined as "<UriReportSource Uri="Lines.trdx">"..

Do you know why this might be happening?
Might it be something to do with how I've setup my implementation?
Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Thanks

Hello,

I use the new Q3 2014 WPF ReportViewer to display my reports, I try to use the new Export method but this._reportViewer.Export("PDF", null) throw a NullReferenceException.
I try another format but it doesn't work either.

How can I fix that problem ?

Thanks in advance.

I use VS 2012, VB.Net, SQL Server 2012, WinForms and I am looking into using Telerik for the reporting part.

I would be interested in having some general information regarding report creation. Actual VB.NET examples would be most helpful.

Thanks,
John

Hello, I have just upgraded to Telerik Reporting Q3 2014 and the label wizard has disappeared form my Visual Studio 2013 toolbox! However, the label wizard is still available in the stand alone report designer.

Any ideas why this wizard is now missing from the VS toolbox?

Hi,

I'm still using the 2013 Q1 release of reporting.

With QR codes I generate them in my code using the aspx RadBarcode component and they work fine, if I save to a file I get nice sharp images.  When I pass them to a report for printing even if I choose to have no scaling on the image the resultant QR code on the PDF file is very fuzzy and doesn't scan as fast as it should - it still works just slower.

2 questions,
1) Does either the Q2 or Q3 release have native QR code functionality?  From what I can see it doesn't.
2) Assuming a no to the above, how would I go about getting a sharp qr code in a PDF report?

Regards

Jon

Hi,

When I run my report on a 3G connection it crashes.  I've tested with a very slow WIFI connection but that is OK so it isn't a timeout issue.  Any pointers?
