Based on your email about the new EF support, I am evaluating Telerik Reporting tool Q2 2013.1 Trial version.

I created a Web Form project. Added an EF model and then added the reporting item. I am going thru the wizard and thought I got hung up (see attachment) but eventually it did advance after several attempts. When I clicked on the entityDataSource1 and Finish button, it was busy for a minute and then stopped being busy and re-enabled the Finish button. It eventually did advance to the next page.

Does it look like I am on the right track? I will have to check for some demos/tutorials.

Thanks,

I've downloaded the latest (v6.2) trial version of Telerik Reporting but cannot figure out how to hook it up to my Entity Framework model.

I've added an EntityDataSource to the designer but this requires a typeof(ObjectContext)which I don't have.

Looking at the example code from the Telerik website it appears I might be able to cast from DbContext to ObjectContext at runtime but this does not (that I can see) enable me to build a report at design time.

Is it possible to get Telerik Reporting to work with Entity Framework 5?

Hi All,

I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC 4 app. Telerik Reporting has been chosen as the Tools of report generation. It's been a couple of days am challenging to generate a report. Here is the scenario:

There is a ReportModel class providing required properties to bind to the report.

public class NewReportModel

    {

        public string ReprotTitle { get; set; }

        public List<Product> Products { get; set; }

        public double ReportSum { get; set; }

    }

 

  public class Product

    {

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public double Price { get; set; }

        

    }

As shown above, there is a Generic List Property of Property which must be displayed in the details section with pagination, thus I must use a TextBox control as Table does not support pagination. (According to what I have gained from surfing the web and Telerik Blogs).

The ReportTitle prop should also shown at the top of every page, and ReportSum at the bottom of every page of the report.

On the other hand, I apply an ObjecctDataSource and its DataMember returns an instance of the NewReportModel class. The Report Designer DataSource is bound to the mentioned ObjectDataSource. Up to here, I can have the ReportTitle and ReportSum props shown on the Report. 

The problem is that, How Can I have list of products displayed on the report viewer with pagination? 

I tried to use table and bind its DataSource to the List<Product> and so Bind the table TextBox expression to "=Fields.Name". But this is not what needed as it brings no pagination. I also tried to use SubReport but again no pagination.

I explicitly mean HTML pagination, The ReportViewer control pagination and not the Export PDF pagination.

How can I come over this problem? 

Thanks in advance,
Ali,

I have a pie chart and want to show the amount of applicants for each test.  Right now the applicant count appears in both the legend and near the pie slices.  I'm not sure how to make the applicant # appear at the the pie slices and have the test name appear in the legend.  Know how I can do this?

i.e. If I set DataYColumn to "APPLICANTS", then that data appears next to the pie slices.  How can I now display the test type in the legend for each of those slices?  All I see in the legend is "item1, item2, item3".

Hi,

Can someone please explain how to create a drillthrough action where I can attach a instance reportsource.

I need the parameter from the action, then need to fetch the data from a rest service, create the instancereportsource , then set the data and parameters collection. After that display the drillthrough report.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi

My colleague who is a licensed developer of Telerik Reporting Q3 2012 and I have been trying to compile the solution for the Telerik Reporting but have been unsuccessful using the compiled dlls in Visual Studio.

We have added in Telerik Report Viewer WPF project to the solution and make a build. We then took the dlls to our project which will be referencing the compiled dlls. The visual Studio unables to load the designer for the reports... I have tried to create a new Telerik Report but still can't load...

We tried to add the projects of Telerik.Reporting.Design ... but this gives us more error, asking for Converters project which will then ask for dlls of DevExpress or other third party products...

Is there any build documentation that we can read and make a build that can launch in Visual Studio designer for the reports?

Thanks

Now that Mix10 is over is there any news or updates on a end-user designer for Reporting?

Hello guys, I created a report with 03 columns, everything worked perfectly, except that the records were printed vertically from top to bottom filling the first column, before going to the second column.
I would like, if possible, that a colleague could show me how to print the records in ascending order and in the horizontal direction from left to right and below?

For example, see the attached image, I would like to tag printing horizontally 0,0,1, then 2,3,5, respectively.

My textbox borders look good in the Designer and when printing to a printer, but when exported to PDF they are jagged, some bold looking, some not bold looking, etc. One thing I noticed is that when 2 textboxes are right night to each other and one has a right border and the other has no left border, "send to front" and "send to back" will determine how much the right border (divider) of the 2 textboxes will appear. So since my textboxes form the outside border of the entire report and also divide sections within the report. I am getting some lines bold and some lines not bold.

Should I not be using "pt" if the report is primarily getting exported to PDF rather then sent to a printer from the web app.
I already tried sending everything to front, size to grid, and zooming in like crazy on the grid. Still misaligned.

Any tips possible would be great. 

How can I style the parameter fields?

For example I have a dropdownlist.
The html that created is a input field with size=28 , if I want this to be 40 how can I do this.
Using css I can not seem to access it..
do I have to create a jquery that manipulates this , this seems quite extensive for such a simple thing..
