I have skipped a few releases with Reporting.  We have a solution which makes extensive use of textbox formatting based off of the data of each textbox.  This solution was developed in VS 2008 and last Telerik upgrade was to  6.0.12.215.  I have not touched it in months and works great in production.

I have some new reports to make, and have converted the project from VS 2008 to VS 2010, no errors reported.  Also installed Q1 2013 Telerik reporting this morning, no errors in the upgrade process.

Every existing format is now blank for the rule, though the rule still exists.  Every report has dozens of errors on build that all say:

"Type Telerik.Reporting.Data.Filter is not defined"

Format box looks like this, note the left side saying no rule.  There are 20 reports in the solution, each with 1-10 formatting options per textbox, with a few dozen textboxes per report.

Is this a known issue?  Is there a way I can recover all of the formatting work?

I'm having quite a few problems styling a Telerik.Reporting.Chart object. The object itself was created using the designer, but the actual information for the chart, such as title, series, etc is filled in at runtime programmatically.

First of all, I was attempting to set the colors for different series in the following manner:
salesSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.FillType.Gradient;
salesSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Color.White;
salesSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = Color.Black;

But the colors are overridden by the style placed on the chart in the designer. However, if the FillType is set to Solid, I have no problems setting the color.

Second of all, I found this little oddity when trying to set the background color of the entire chart. When setting the background fill as so:
resultChart.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid;
resultChart.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Color.White;

It ended up using the default background from the skin. However, if I change "Color.White" to "Color.FromArgb(255,255,255)" (still white) it works properly.

Finally, how do you change the font size for the axis labels? My X-axis labels are a little too wide for the text that's in them and I need to shrink the font a little, but I couldn't find any way to do so.

Hello
  
I am using Telerik Reporting for Silverlight. In the report viewer once the report is generated, I want to print it by clicking on the "print" icon in the menu bar on top of the report.
  
After clicking on that button the popup showing the progress for the print generation is displayed as expected. Both "print" and "cancel" work fine in most cases. However, when a report is "big" (here I have a 38 pages report as per the report viewer or enough data in the report to generate a 2MB PDF file if it helps), the increment of the percent in that same popup does not start right away. If I click on the "Cancel" button before the percents start to increase, the popup does not close as it would otherwise. The "cancel" button becomes greyed out and the printing process keeps going until it reaches 100%. Once the process is over, there is no choice but to print the report (the "print" button is no more greyed out) or close the whole report viewer as the "Cancel" button remains greyed out.
  
We are using Silverlight 4 and the version of Telerik reporting we are using is the 6.0.12.215. Let me know if you need more information for your investigation.

Hello,

I would like to know if the following is possible.  I would like to have a report where the page orientation is portrait for most pages, but some are set to landscape. 

I have tried the following:
I have a main report with the PagSettings.Landscape property to false.  I also have a subreport that is in a section with page breaks to make it on it's own page. For the sub report I set the PagSettings.Landscape property to true. When I run the report in the WinForms report viewer it seems that the page orientation setting from the main report is used and the orientation on the sub report is ignored.  Is this true?  Is there any work around to get one page of a report to be landscape while the rest of the report is portrait?  FYI, I'm using the WinForms viewer for development but the final product will export the report directly to PDF.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

I am using the new Q3 2012 controls and the Telerik Silverlight ReportViewer is giving me an error... "Unable to determine application identity of the caller". How can I resolve this?

I have a Web Application that populates various controls that are used as parameters, i.e., 3 RadDropDownTrees, 4 RadComboBoxes with check boxes, and RadComboBox without check boxes.
I know I can use the data sources that populate the combo boxes, but I do not know if I can use the datasources for the RadDropDownTrees.

My question is can a RadDropDownTree be used as a parameter in reportViewer? And if so, how?

Hi,

I have an MVC application and pass ViewModels to the Object Data Source for my reports. All reports i've written are tabular, nothing complex. I now need to display a pie chart on my report.

Can I still use a view model for the data source? I've not found any examples anywhere of using pie charts this way, is it possible?

Thanks.

I recently loaded and installed ALL of the Q2 2012 tools (premium subscription) and am now experiencing crashes all the time when designing reports.  Specifically the last 3 times it crashed this hour I was editing the Conditional formatting on the detail line of a report.  My OS is Windows 7 running on 64 bit and am using Visual Studio Premium and in this case Telerik Reporting 6.1.12.820 (Q2 2012).

I am just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.  The only real difference between this and my previous install is the addition of the JustCode plugin.

I have created a report in Visual Studio 2010. The Detail Section is a mixture of HtmlTextbox and Textbox items inside Panels to display the data.

Design View
In design view the Details section is made up of 5 Panels set to the width of the header items. Several HTML textboxes and texboxes were added in order to display the desired information. Some of the data does wrap to the next line. That's the reason for putting them all in Panels was because the data needs to stay tight to the grouped columns. I have tried to remove the panels and display just the data but I get the same issue.

Preview/Export/Etc
When viewing the report the data stays tight as expected. The attached screen shot I added a blue border to the detail section panels to show that the data does indeed stay constricted to the panel and the panels do not grow yet for some reason there is extra space causing the page to be wider than expected. If I change either the Port panel or the Status panel to be visible = false it does not have this extra space.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is widening the page like that. This is a huge issue because when you export to PDF it causes extra pages to be displayed in the report that contain nothing.
