We have created a report and are using the “Export” feature provided by the Report viewer.  All of the options are working satisfactorily except for the CSV option.  The CSV option is working as documented, but we really want to apply the “NoHeader” and “NoStaticText” options that have been documented.   The problem is that these go into the application config file.  Our report generator is part of an MMC snapin.   We do not have a configuration file to add these customizations to. All the documentation I have seen so far points to ReportProcessor.RenderReport() to programmatically modify the export behavior.  The examples around using this are not very helpful.  I do not see how to tie this into the “Export” button on the Report viewer.  I have found no events that are generated when a user chooses an export option.  I also want to use the provided UI for gathering the destination, and also use the provided “write to file” functionality.   The examples of RenderReport all seem to use a default location and provide their own write code.   

 

Is there a way to programmatically set the “NoHeader” and “NoStaticText” parameters for the CSV option without using RenderReport?   If the answer is no, can you point me to some documentation/examples of how to use RenderReport when a user selects an export option from the Export button?

 

Thanks.

Dave

Hi,
I have a line chart which shows tempriture of a room daily. The tempriture values come from a datasource.
The X axis shows days and Y axis shows the tempriture values.

Think of that i have temriture values from dataset as below:
18.22 ,18.83 , 19.30 , 20.05 , 19.15 ,  19.25
While using the line chart by default settings, the Y axis starts from 0 and ends with some value over 21. And the steps are generated automatically. 
As seen here the min value is 18,22 and max value is 20.05 
I would like to see the line chart as below
Y axis starting from 18 and ending at 21 and steps are 0.1 
Coul you please describe how to achieve that.

I have attached a sample chart which is generated with a different tool. The chart in the screenshot describes perfectly what i want.

Thanks.

Hello there,
We have just downloaded recently a trial version of Telerik Reporting, its Q3 version released.
And before buying the product, our project manager asked us to make some test, essentially some "performance" tests...
Actually, I produced a report with 500 lines from database. Those lines will be grouped by two columns, and of course : the rendered table contains some agregate value (Sum).
Curiously, the RenderReport() took about 1 minute to render these 500 lines, no matter what the output format is (pdf, mhtml, xls, ...) :-(
Notice that I have put many debug breakpoints to check exactly where the performance lack resides, and thus; found that it occured when I call the RenderReport() method. In other words, the problem is not related to database access.

I tryied to remove the agregate cells, but it didn't change nothing. By the same way, I removed the grouping column, and of course, the report took about 40 seconds to be rendered, but I think it's not normal at all, cause we treated actually 500 lines, and in the future; we surely will need to produce more than 1000 lines inside one report.

Is there any known issue to avoid this performance trouble ? I just want to add eventually that the old report engine that we used was oracle-report, and we plan to go with some other third party technologies like Telerik. But with oracle-report, the same report was rendered after about 10 seconds, on the same machine, accessing the same database, with the same code architecture (asp.net mvc)

Thanks in advance

Hi all-
I am using the following line in a standard text box.
=Fields.[Attorney for Child]+', child's attorney' and I need to escape the apostrophe in child's.
The only thing I could find says to place brackets around the character but that also generates an error.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,

       I have a report with multiple pages, whereas last page contains a letter. all the other pages except last page should have a page border around detail section. when I add the page border it applies to all pages in the report. I tried setting binding expression as well as expression to set the page border color to transparent conditionally by comparing pageNumer = pageCount etc..

this doesnt work at all. would appreciate if u all could help me on this.

With about 60 days of Telerik reporting behind me, i have a new report to do and i'm not sure what is the best solution.  

The report is a sales report by customer.  The client wants to be able to have two date ranges for comparison.  So the report outline would be:
salesman
customer
Date Range 1  (sales, cost, margin)
Date Range 2  (sales, cost, margin)

I know it can be done with a sub-report for DateRange2 but i'm curious whether a List  or something else would be more efficient.  ( Not sure how to link a list since ReportItem object usage is flagged as obsolete)  Or maybe it's two sub-reports?

I also thought about a cube, but  date ranges will not always be the same time frame - i.e. sometimes may be a week, sometimes a month, sometimes 6 weeks.

User input (parameters) would be salesman, startdate 1, enddate 1, startdate 2, and enddate2. Input for startdate2 and enddate2 are not required (that is sometimes the report will be run with one date range and other times may be run with 2 date ranges)

The final criteria is that the margin in the newer date range should have conditional format (green if bigger margin, red if smaller margin)


Appreciate any and all comments.
