Greetings,

The company I'm working for decided to evaluate Telerik's reporting tools.
I visited the reporting portal to view some demos. I noticed that there're two different offerings: The HTML5 viewer and the ASP.Net viewer.

I assume that the ASP.Net viewer is just a .Net wrapper around the JS/HTML/CSS workings of the plain HTML5 viewer, but I noticed that the two viewers differ in appearance and in some behaviours (the preloader that appears when the report is being fetched for example).

Can anyone provide me with guidance about the architecture and composition of the two viewers to be able to evaluate when to use which?

When we export report in Silverlight application to the PowerPoint presentation the empty shape is created on the place (border) of detail section.
How to prevent this issue?
You can test this issue on the demo version on this site.
Export the report to the PP, open presentation and click on the white space. You will see the selected border around the shape. You can delet it without any change on the slide. This is "a trace" of detail section of the report. (see attachment)

I am unable to perform any exports in my reports that are displayed correctly in the html5 viewer when running locally in Visual Studio Development.  My reports are classes (not trdx).  I am using mvc.  I have the reporting api (exact copy as in the examples (they have a map path to \reports even though I am using classes so this may be the issue).   The message that I receive when I press the export pdf (or any other option) in chrome is:

{"message":"An error has occurred.","exceptionMessage":"Method not found: 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair`2<System.String,System.String>> System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessageExtensions.GetQueryNameValuePairs(System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage)'.","exceptionType":"System.MissingMethodException","stackTrace":" at Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi.ReportsControllerBase.GetResponseContentDisposition(HttpRequestMessage request)\r\n at Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi.ReportsControllerBase.GetDocument(String clientID, String instanceID, String documentID)\r\n at lambda_method(Closure , Object , Object[] )\r\n at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.ActionExecutor.<>c__DisplayClass17.<GetExecutor>b__10(Object instance, Object[] methodParameters)\r\n at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.ActionExecutor.Execute(Object instance, Object[] arguments)\r\n at System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor.<>c__DisplayClass5.<ExecuteAsync>b__4()\r\n at System.Threading.Tasks.TaskHelpers.RunSynchronously[TResult](Func`1 func, CancellationToken cancellationToken)"}

In ie it simply says that it failed.

I imagine that I have failed to do something simple in some setup.

Thanks,
Thom

Hi,
I have a master report with chart, chart has customer name and amount of purchase. I want to click on chart and pass customer name to detail report as a parameter to show more detail about that specific customer. I used action to point to detail report but i dont know what is the format of passing parameters in report designer. I assume this is doable in stand alone mode. I dont want to get involved in Visual studio

I really appreciate your help

I have two tables, one with the header Name, and the other showing the projects associated with each name. I want the Name table to show only one value for name, with all corresponding projects listed in the 2nd table. However, where there is more than one project per name there will be that many duplicate names, which I don't want.

It seems that this might normally be solved by grouping, however if I group these table values together I get repeating table-headers that I don't want also.

So is it possible to prevent duplicate data in an expression, rather than grouping? Where my current expression for the name is:

= Fields.[Name]

...these are my pseudo-code ideas for expressions to solve this:

  • = Fields.[Name] DISTINCT
  • = Fields.[Name] WHERE Fields.[Name] <> Previous(Fields.[Name])

Hello !

I'm using WPF Telerik Reporting Q2 2014. I've added Action = ToggleVisibility to one of the textbox and set the respective toggle targets. Is there a simple way of maintaining the scroll position of the report when the toggle targets are expanded/collapsed ?

Hi guys, Im new to telerik reporting so forgive me here.

Im running Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with .NET 4.5.1. I have installed Telerik Reporting Q2 2014 8.1.14.620
Following the instructions for creating a new report, within my existing project, right click on my Reports folder within my class, and selecting Add/Add New Item, I get the Add New Item dialogue. However the only option in there related to Telerik is "Telerik Scenario". I dont see Telerik Report Q2 2012 as I would expect.

Ive double checked that I do have the following Zip files (Telerik_Reporting_Q2_2014_8.1.14.620_Blank.zip,  Telerik_Reporting_Q2_2014_8.1.14.620_Import.zip, and Telerik_Reporting_Q2_2014_8.1.14.620_Wizard.zip) in the Program Files (86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ Common 7 \ IDE \ Item Templates \ Visual Basic \ Reporting folder

Any assistance to get me going with using the Report Editor/Wizard within Visual Studio is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Greetings,

I'm using Telerik Reporting version 8.1.14.804 (Q2 2014 SP1) in an ASP.Net Web Forms application, inside Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate 2012 Version 11.0.61030.00  Update 4).
I created a simple report that fetches data from an entity data source that uses a DbContext class in the project.

The report works as expected, but in design time, when I try to preview it, an error message is displayed saying:
An error has occurred while processing Table 'table1': An error occurred while
invoking data retrieval method. Try restarting Visual Studio. -------------
InnerException ------------- No connection string named 'DbContext' could be
found in the application config file.


Where DbContext is the name of my code first context class.

I uploaded a demo web application that demonstrates the problem here:
http://www.wikifortio.com/825288/ReportsSample.zip
I removed the bin directory but Nuget should settle this.

How to resolve this issue?
