Hi everybody,
i am currently testing to replace Crystal Reports in our ReportViewer Application with Telerik Reporting, but still having some issues.
In our Application are a lot of reports and so there is a report template class. A load function takes the filename of the Report Definition File as a parameter and the Report Document is created. Afterwards it is bound to a dataset and passed to ReportViewer Control.
As i understand Telerik Reporting there are no Report Definition Files, just c# classes, which include the definitions. My problem is, that i want to instanciate the Report by it's name and then pass it to the ReportViewer, so i don't have to make major changes in the code. Is their a way to create a neutral Report object (Telerik.Reporting.Report) and bind it to a Report Class afterwards? If have tried to use TypeReportSource and set the TypeName Property, but without success until now.
I only succeeded on creating a sample application, where i created an instance of my own report class and filled it with a dataset. But i don't know how to integrate it in the code of our ReportViewer this way.
P.S.: I am using Telerik Reporting v8.0 Trial Verision with Visual Studio 2010.
Kind regards
David
