Hi,

I've followed the example to create a REST service and a MVC5 view:
http://blogs.telerik.com/telerikreportingteam/posts/14-01-06/consuming-telerik-rest-service-reports-in-asp.net-mvc-5

What we need to do now is work out how we can change the connection string during runtime.

After researching the examples online the suggestions don't seem to be relevant for WebApi.

Please help! 

Thanks.
Michael

I recently upgraded to Q2 2014 and now I cannot open any reports created in any previous version. When I open the report, I get the error as shown in the screen shot. If I ignore and continue, I get the report designer, but some of the data sources are messed up. I am on Visual Studio 2012. Did I miss something in my project to upgrade the project?

I can create a new report and it will work okay.

Hi everyone - I'm trying to fill a table on a report with a data table that I pull in at runtime.

The datatable pulls in fine, and the report shows up fine, my only issue is that when I set the datatable as the datasource for my table, it doesn't display anything.

I have a function that I set that fills my values in, and then one that takes in a datatable and is SUPPOSED to set it as the datasource and display all values into the table... but I can't figure out quite how to get it to actually write to the table.

Any ideas on what I could try? Do I need to go through and add rows programmaticaly and then add the individual cells??? I'm completely at a loss here, so any tips would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I am using your Telerik Graph item in reports to plot collection of X and Y co-ordinates on a report. This is basically a LineSeries plotted using Graph and the report source is collection of X,Y points. I am using reportProcessor.RenderReport call that in turn renders these reports. But if the collection of points in report source is more than 8000 then RenderReport takes a long time(around 30 seconds). In fact in our case we have almost 18000 X,Y points in collection and that takes around 50 seconds. And so obviously if there are multiple such reports then it takes much longer. I had submitted this question as support ticket but so far I have not got satisfactory response. I feel like there has to be a way in Graph item control to improve this performance. So I wanted to know if anyone out there had faced this issue and if they were able to fix it. Appreciate any response.

Thanks,
Mandar

Hi,

I am using version 6.2.12.1017 of your Reporting components.  I have an aspx page that uses the Telerik ReportViewer control.  When the page loads, I set the reports datasource and refresh the report.

The report is generated and data displays in it.

PROBLEM
=========
I just added a RadTabStrip with two tabs and a RadMultiPage with two RadPageViews.
A RadGrid is in the first tab/pageview and the second tab/pageview contains ReportViewer.

Now when the page loads the report is empty / blank until I hit the Report's Refresh button.  Then the report shows data immediately.

MORE INFORMATION
==================
- If I move the ReportView outside of the MultiPage/PageViewer, it again works correctly...  the reports is displayed as soon as the page loads as expected.
- Ajax isn't really involved.  The grid itself has a RadAjaxPanel around it.  I've tried putting the RadAjaxPanel around ALL controls (tab, multipage), but that didn't help.
- The page has a RadAjaxManager on it, but I've set EnableAJAX="false" and it didn't help.

What's the trick?  How can I make the report display on page load, when it is inside a RadMultiPage / PageView?

Thanks,
Michael

When trying to open a report preview in the designer, I receive the following error:

An error has occurred while processing Map 'map1': Unable to establish a
connection to the database. Please, verify that your connection string is valid.
In case you use a named connection string from the application configuration
file, make sure the name is correct and the connection string settings are
present in the configuration file of your application. -------------
InnerException ------------- Format of the initialization string does not
conform to specification starting at index 0.

I chose the option to save the connection string, but my config file differs a bit from the typical setup. My connection strings are in a separate config file using the following syntax:

<connectionStrings configSource="myProjectConnections.config" />

The Report designer correctly added the connections to the myProjectConnections.config when I chose the option to save connections, but I have a feeling this is related to the designer failing to preview the report. In addition, the data sources in the data explorer, as well as the map wizard don't show or allow for the selection of the data sources I have added to the report.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

We are having to redirect the bindings for the Telerik controls since we are using 2013.3.1316.40 and the reporting is looking for 2013.3.1016.40.  We would like to not have to push down 8 config files to every one of our systems only to have to delete or update the config file when we no longer need the redirect.

Does anyone know of a way to embed the bindingRedirect into the EXE itself?

I am trying to implement this http://blogs.telerik.com/careypayette/posts/13-12-12/establishing-a-telerik-restful-reporting-service-in-under-5-minutes

Where to I get this dll  Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine

I downloaded the trial version and that dll does not seem to there?

Also the reports I generate by code and not by the designer, how can I use the REST api to generate these reports.  Is there any examples

In the stand-alone report designer, it is possible to export templates using an export template wizard.  Is the same thing possible in the visual studio designer?  If not, is there any way to manually create report templates in visual studio?
