When I expand a group into details, is it supposed to rerun the entire data request to the datasource? Also it takes an extremely long time when expanding sections.

I am creating a report that is basically a business letter.  I load the body of the letter from a database.  It is text with embedded variables, like the client’s name and address.  I currently have this working where I replace the variables in the body with the corresponding data in a class, but I thought it would be nice to let the report generator do that for me.

So I would like to have the body use the same expressions as the reports do.  So a body might look like this: “This is the body of the letter Mr. {Fields.Lastname}.”  Of course, I don’t know what the body actually is until the user runs the report.

So I would need to access the textbox that the body would appear in, set it’s value to the body text, programmatically setup a datasource with the data to be used to evaluate the expressions, the somehow data bind it so the expressions in the body are evaluated against the new data source.

Is this possible and if so are there some examples or documentation that would help?

Hi I am using 2 tables in a single report. Under this one of the Table(Table 2 as per example I attached) is extended more than the width of the report. So while exporting as PDF this table shows its remaining data in a new page. But I have another table (Table1 as per example I attached) the width does not exceeds the single page but it creates a new page and show nothing(Blank page) due to the extended Table2 Width. 

My question is How to remove this blank pages while exporting?

I have a method that sends a report out to the browser in excel format. It works fine if I pass it a report but when I pass it a report book I get the error "Excel found unreadable Content in 'MyReportName.xls'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of the workbook click Yes. When I click Yes it generates the workbook with all of the tabs in place the only issue is the first tab has the correct name and the remaining tabs are named Recovered_Sheet1, Recovered_Sheet2 ..... Recovered_Sheet10.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Hello.  In Telerik Reporting, when I edit in the design file and save, I've recently started getting this error often:  Code generation for property 'Value' (and sometimes 'StyleName') failed.  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'd made considerable changes to a designer file yesterday, and when I did a Get Latest in VS, it forced me to merge manually to resolve some conflicts.  As I was comparing the server version to my version of the designer.cs file, I found some 20+ controls were missing this line:  this.SomeControl.Value = "";   And, one this.SomeControl.StyleName = "";  I have no idea why all those would be missing???  Any idea what I could be doing to cause that?

Hello. I've only found a few threads that deal with my question but none provided an answer. I need the ability to change the grouping on a report. Is this possible? Is it efficient? Are there any examples that I can download? I've tried the example projects from this thread but they are incomplete ( no report(s) ).

Thanks for any advice!

I would like to add a button or clickable image that will raise an event in my code behind.

In my report I display, for example, a list of clients.  when the user clicks the 'open' button or image I want to launch a user control that displays the client entry screen.

Is this possible?

I feel like I went backward on this one... Anyone using SQL Server Table Valued Parameters (TVP) in a stored procedure and then using the results in a Telerik report? (Nice Code Project TVP and C# discussion in case you're not familiar http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/39161/C-and-Table-Value-Parameters)

For a 'normal' report, you create a report and a datasource and some parameters (single values or multiple values) using the excellent interface and hey presto! everything works out of the box.

Telerik reporting does not support TVP though, so you go back, strip out report's datasource and nice built-in parameter UI you had in there and

1) create a routine to make DataTable(s) from a RadComboBox(es) for the TVP
2) create a routine using SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapters and the TVP DataTable(s) above to return another DataTable from your stored procedure
3) instantiate your report from your class library and hand it the DataTable above as the record source
4) if you're in ASP.NET, hand the loaded up Report to the ReportViewer.

It's what's going on behind the scenes, I guess, but it feels kludgy.

We have a fairly large library of stored procedures that use TVP and rewriting them all as VIEWs with IN clauses is not really an option. I'm worried about performance and size limitations as the above downloads ALL of the data into the DataTable and ... and does what with it?

Again, the above is working. Anyone else have a technique for working with Reports and TVP?

When I try to run the report on a specific machine, I am getting the following error message. This program runs locally, and on other servers just fine.
