Good morning,

I was wondering if it is possible to export from the report viewer as a TRDX? I am currently working on a web application that uses the report viewer to display reports. This is because we have an offfsite associate who needs to view it. A big driving force of why we tried telerik was because of the option of the standalone designer. However, after playing around with it, I realized that you need to work with only a trdx and the report viewer on the site does not have an option to do this.

I am replicating all the data that is possible for use in the report viewer, but I thought I could use the standalone designer for our offsite associate to format the reports and pick and choose data which she finds necessary. Is this possible or will she definitely need to connect to our DB, in order to do so?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Telerik, 

I am doing a report with the option of exporting to excel and pdf.

All run fine. But when I open the print preview in the excel file, I see an extra blank page..

I look for info about this behavior in the forums and I found I need to review the widths of the controls not to exceed the entire report document.

I checked that and all is fine... but the report continues generating an extra page.

I attached 3 files:
- PrintPreview.png : Shows the example for the extra page.
- NormalView.png: shows my report in excel.
- ReportProperties.png : contains all the source code for the report file. You can see how is set the page size and controls... I could not find anything wrong.

Can you help explain me how to avoid this behavior?

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Stef

So I have reports that are generated with the standalone report generator, I'm wondering if it is possible to convert them to .cs files (as if they were generated with the integrated tool instead). If this still isn't possible then I'm curious if there is an easy way to have the Report Manager find .trdx files so that it can be loaded with the report catalog that came with the example package.

I know how to show the reports on the client individually, but I can't figure out how to show both types of files in a consolidated reports catalog. Ideally I'd like it if the report catalog found .trdx reports and .cs reports and make the end user unaware of the fact that they are stored differently.

I'm not sure if this is a feature or not, but I am able to use an ellipse shape (say 2cm wide by 4cm high) and then by setting the Style.Padding.Bottom to -2cm results in printing the top half of the circle. It looks funny in the designer as you still see the whole circle, but in the actual print you only get the semicircle. I haven't tested pdf yet (which is the output that I'm actually wanting) but I'll update once I have.

Any way, the point of this post is that I would like to request that this "feature" is kept and made part of whatever tests you run as part of your builds. This will enable me to use this in my work for my clients.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the Telerik Reporting and was wondering if there was a UI or property in the Telerik Report Designer that can make a few columns of a table uneditable while the rest contains radio buttons that can be selected by the user.  Is this possible?  If so, can you please point me to the right tutorial?  Because I was able to achieve this via Microsoft Word 2013 using their Content Controls.  I have recreated the same report via Telerik Report Designer and exported it to a Word Document but the radio buttons are displayed as images.  Is there a way to render this usable to the user?

Any help is appreciated.

What I would like to know is how can I use the NavigatetoUrl Action and pass in the correct parameters so that for instance in the attached graph I would want to be able to click on Red Series for Mar, and pass these parameters to another report. (i.e. reportdetail.aspx?Status=Red&Month=03&Year=2014) 

Previously I would have used the click event of the chart item to do this, but using the new Graph object I cannot see how to achieve this.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Greg

I have upgraded my Reporting version from Version 7.1.13.612  to Version 7.2.14.127 and now my Y-Axis labels are a month behind?

May data has a Apr label?
Apr data has a Mar label?

This appears to be a bug in the version... is there anyway I can fix it? Code behind?

thanks

I inherited a VB.NET development effort from a rival company who did not supply any documentation.  It used Telerik.Web.UI version 2011.3.1305.40 and we purchased and installed the replacement version 2014.1.4013.40.  The newer version broke some of the web pages and reporting pages and we are trying to recover to a point where we can use the Telerik enhanced pages.  I manually stepped through the webpages that failed due to the upgrade and changed to old code to meet the new standards and managed to fix most of them.  The webpages that still don't work have broken smart tags that lost the databases they were linked to.

The reporting is another issue.  We did not get the source Telerik reports and I used the Telerik Reporting Q1 2014 tool to extract the Telerik report definition files from the DLLs of our site.  These are readable but not very usefull because they also are missing the links to their associated databases.  I was able to correctly link one of the reports to its correct database but now what?  I can't export it to a *.vb file to add to Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.  How would I return the reports to the VB Solution so they can replace the broken ones on my website?  Am I missing a tool?  We purchased the full license so if we are missing anything can you supply it?

Attached is a PDF generated from the failing Telerik reporting process from the VB.NET site.
Attached is the sample extracted Telerik report.

Telerik.Reporting 8.0.14.507 (Telerik.ReportViewer.Silverlight)

1. The popup window for exporting and printing is transparent (screen126)
2. No backlighting required parameters (screen127, screen128)

I have to roll over the older versions and wait for the update. Thanks for Reporting.
