Not sure if I'm doing this right.  I've been trying out various reporting tools for a pretty big project I'm starting.

I was able to design a report in the designer standalone the way I wanted it.  So now in C# I want to load that report using a parameter for the queries.

I assume I set the reportviewer reportsource property and then create the parameters.  I just can't seem to get it to work.  Says my connection string isn't right though I set that at design time and it works fine in the standalone designer.

Maybe I'm doing this all wrong?

I'm using the standard font "Bookman Old Style". In my dev machine the report shows OK but in the production server it replaces with Arial, although the font is installed in Windows.

Any ideas? I'm using Asp.net and 2010 Q1.
Thanks!

Hi All,

I have an issue with report quality, Telerik reports is fairly new for me, so I could be missing something obvious. I have an A5 report that has images and text, when it's exported to screen via report viewer it looks fine, however quality goes down (drastically) when exported to PDF or printed to printer. Is there a way to increase quality of exported reports?

Another thing I noticed (and wish to resolve) is the fact that text from textboxes is not output as text within a PDF report (i.e. not selectable). Can this be amended?

Thanks,
Daryl

Hi All,

Does anyone know how NumericalScale.MajorStep works in Graph? I have a Graph with X and Y axis and each axis has a numerical scale with only MajorStep. The width and height of Graph are set to 250mm and 120mm respectively and my requirement is that each axis should always have MajorGridLines at every 5mm. Is there a way I can use MajorStep property for this purpose or is there any other way I can satisfy this requirement?

Thanks,
Mandar

I have a section of a subreport that I need to force to be a certain height (7.5 inches).  The section contains a Table, which can grow based on the contents.  If the rows do not grow individually, then the section stays 7.5", but if a row grows to fit its contents, it forces the entire section to grow, even though it does not cause the Table to grow beyond 7.5".  Is there a way to set the height of a section AFTER the table is data bound, so that I can force the section to be 7.5", regardless of the height of the Table?

What are the end-user requirements for running the standalone report designer?  

I have the following installed on a new Win 7 machine:
  • .NET Framework 4.0 FULL Profile
  • Microsoft 2010: Primary Interop Assemblies Redistributable

I notice that the designer process runs, but the GUI doesn't draw nor does a window show.  The designer runs fine on my development machine.  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am using the telerik reporting to display reports in my project.
The print works ok locally but the problem is that when I host the website the print button click shows the dialog box to print aftera long period and it does the postback on click too.

What I want is to display the dialog box to print as and when the user clicks on print button on client side only. The click should pop-up the dialog to print on client event only.

I am not able to search the client id of the print button. I have verified the code below:
 string printScript = string.Format("{0}.PrintReport();", this.SearchReportViewer.ClientID);  
            this.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "ReportPrint", printScript, true); 

I does not solve my purpose as it popu-ups the print dialog at startup of the page. Please help its somthing urgent.

Thanks,
Yuvika

I've created a report containing three different grids on the same report.  I did this by placing three different Table Wizards on the same Details section of the the report designer.  It works great when displayed as an html page. The problem however, is when i export it to pdf, exel, or word.  The report just keeps repeating intself for 49 pages.  Forty nine pages of the same data grids repeating over and over again.  Has anyone had this problem before?  One solution might be to use a BookReport that displays just one grid at a time but I would like not to have to start all over again. 

Thanks, Rick Pace.

I’m not able to view the report preview in at design time.  I receive an error saying I need to provide valid data for all parameters.  I’m using an objectdatasource with its datasource set to a data class.  I thought there was a way to provide parameter values for use at design time for just this scenario.  When I right click on the report and view report then right click the parameters and click edit parameters, there is a place for each parameter to provide a constant value, I did that and still I receive the error message.  When I configure the datasource there was a pane in the setup wizard that allowed design time parameters to be added, but I cannot seem to get back to that pane anymore for some reason.  If the data method of the data class were being called with no parameters values then I would get an empty dataset, so it appears that it is not getting that far.  I have the connection string hardcoded in the data class. When I had the report setup with a sqldatasource the preview worked fine

So when using a parameterized method in a dataclass with the objectdatasource is there any way to have the report preview work?

Here is the signature of my data method:
 
    <DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Select)> _
    Public Function TransferReportList(ByVal sn As String, _
                                       ByVal tz As Single, _
                                       ByVal transferBy As Integer, _
                                       ByVal sortBy As Short, _
                                       ByVal allDates As Boolean, _
                                       ByVal FromDate As Date, _
                                       ByVal ToDate As Date, _
                                       ByVal direction As Short) As List(Of DataTransfer)

I've created my first report using the Telerik Reporting...Some 5160 Labels and when I try to print the labels are all messed up.  I have two questions regarding this issue...

1 - Can a report be viewable without having to use the Telerik Report Viewer? (I'm sure it can but any guidance on how to achieve this would be appreciated)

2 - Why is there a blue border around the content and the labels obviously do not line up when sent to the printer.

Sorry if this has been covered but I looked everywhere and couldn't find an issue...this is my first attempt at a report and I'm sure I missed something.

Thanks in advance..
