I am evaluating the Telerik Report Designer at the moment. But I have found very little documentation on using the Standalone Report Designer. In addition, the Standalone Report Designer seems to have very little functionality compared to what I've found in the Demos and other Documentation (which appear to be using Telerik Reporting inside Visual Studio).

Is Telerik Reporting *intended* to be used within a development environment? Is it more scalable/extensible inside VS?

So far, I haven't seen the Standalone Report Designer be able to compare with the flexibility of other Report Designers. I find this difficult to digest since I've read nothing but raves about Telerik.

Any information and points in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

currently evaluating Telerik Reports. I try to use Telerik Reports hosted by the Telerik Reporting REST Services in an existing Web API project bound to the HTML5 viewer.

It works basically, but in my ObjectDataSource that is bound to the report I have to load data async from an existing backend service. The method gets triggered but the result is never awaited. All I get is the following error:

An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'textBox1': The expression contains object 'Start' that is not defined in the current context.

How do I load data asynchronous to bind them to the report? Possible at all?

I recently disabled PDF font embedding on the reports i generate.  Since then, i've had reports from a couple clients that the text doesn't show up in PDFs when viewed with Chrome or IE's native PDF viewers.  I've tried Times New Roman, Arial and Georgia, but none of them work for the client.  Has anyone run into this before?  

Here's what i added to my web.config:

  <Telerik.Reporting>
    <Extensions>
      <Render>
        <Extension name="PDF">
          <Parameters>
            <Parameter name="FontEmbedding" value="None"/>
            <Parameter name="DpiX" value="600"/>
            <Parameter name="DpiY" value="600"/>
          </Parameters>
        </Extension>
      </Render>
    </Extensions>
  </Telerik.Reporting>

Hello,
I started off with the ReportCatalog used in the CSharp.ReportExamples.VS2010 solution from which reports hosted in an asp.net class library are loaded. I went ahead and created a custom parameter UI above my Silverlight reportviewer, but i cannot seem to get the target report (using the Navigate to Report action) to receive the passed parameters from the custom ui. I can navigate to the reports but only the default parameter values set for the reports are used. I have tried using the RenderBegin method but it seems the passed parameters are being ignored. I have read a number of blogs on this, but somehow, things are not working.

How can I wire up the parameters from my Silverlight application to the reports?

Below are snippets of my code:

<my1:ReportViewer Name="rptViewer"
                          â€¦..
                          Report="XXX.ReportsLibrary.ReportCatalog, XXX.ReportsLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
                          ReportServiceUri="../Services/ReportService.svc"                                      RenderBegin="rptViewer_RenderBegin"
                          Loaded="rptViewer_Loaded" />

In the code behind of the page hosting the reportviewer, I have:

void rptViewer_RenderBegin(object sender, RenderBeginEventArgs args)
 { 
args.ParameterValues.Clear(); 
args.ParameterValues["dateStart"] = rdpStart.SelectedDate; 
args.ParameterValues["dateEnd"] = rdpEnd.SelectedDate; 
((ReportViewerModel)(rptViewer.DataContext)).ApplyReportParametersCommand.Execute(null);
 
}

One thing I noticed is that the sender is ALWAYS the ReportCatalog. I was expecting that after navigating to ReportX the Sender would be ReportX. So is it that I am trying to apply parameters to the wrong report?

Please help!!!

My last option would be to abandon the idea of custom parameters UI.

Thanks

I am working on an ASPX page where the user enters some information. When the user click the save button I want to save the entered data then call Telerik’s report passing to it the record_id of the new saved data. I cannot find any information on how to pass parameter to a report. Could someone help me on this issue?

 

Thanks

Maher

Dear Concerned,
I'm using a Crosstab inside my report. The crosstab works great when there is samll number of columns (specially < 12)
My Column Group is only one DB field which represents a date field. The report has 2 parameters DateFrom and DateTo to specify the period of the report.
If I choos a period more than 12 months, the problem shows. A complete render issue with the columns are mixed and the report title will be hidden by many many columns and also the viewer will hang and the Export option will hang and if you tried to click on the export option a complete disaster happens when the whole solution stops working!!!!!
 I attached 2 screenshots one for the report with less column numbers and one if 12 months are selected

Team,

Previously we are using Q3 2011 SP1 Telerik.Reporting.dll(of versions 5.3.12.119) and now we are planning to upgrade it to latest version i.e. Q1 2014 libraries as part of that we downloaded a trial version and started testing. After replacing the latest dll's, I am not finding the below class:

"Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ExtensionInfo"

Please let us know whether it is completely removed or it is moved to a different namespace with different namespace? If so what is the work around for this?

Note: As of now ExtensionInfo class is getting a namespace in "Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine" which has different properties what we are using in the above class.

regards,
sharan

Hi,

We are using ASP.NET and report viewer in our application, is it possible to bind the report source from client script, we will have a web method which returns the report source as an xml with the parameter values. On the client side we need to bind the report source to the report viewer.

Regards,
Majid
