Somehow, I have spent two days trying to figure out how to do something that should be so simple.  I am using Telerik Reporting Q3 2010.  I have a data source that contains a Boolean value called IsLaborCost, a String Value called CategoryName and a decimal value for CostAmount.  I simple want my table to list the Categories that IsLaborCost is true, then a subtotal, then list the ones where IsLaborCost is false and a subtotal, and then a grand total.

I have tried adding a group and using the IsLaborCost as the Group By, but then it only shows the first category from the group.  I cannot add a child group to that to set it to just show the details.  If I add my initial group and select the Details option, then it shows all of my categories, but they are not grouped where I can add subtotals and such.  What am I missing.  I have read the documentation and played with the samples but cannot seem to get mine to work right.

I have built and deployed the reporting app to the local IIS 7 using the File System method. I have launched and tested the web site and the reporting and all works well.

When I FTP the site to a public server (Arvixe) I get a runtime error. Both the reporting DLLs have been deployed and the web site files and structure are identical. I suspect it may be in the web config which is minimal. Do you have any suggestions

hi Telerik Team,
 

I just upgraded to the Q2 2013 DLLs for reporting and find that the Telerik.Reporting.Report.ReportParameters Value property is not updated when the user changes an input parameter manually, always retaining its original value, whether blank or defaulted programmatically, This worked just fine before the upgrade, but has now broken all my reports.

Is this an actual bug or was there some change I need to make since upgrading to fix this problem? Thanks.

I am using Telerik Reporting for just printing in my windows service but what happen is that its showing a dialog box for printing and I am getting an exception. I have already defined a default printer name by my function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exception :

Service cannot be started. System.InvalidOperationException: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.

 System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings printerSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
            printerSettings.PrinterName = GetDefaultPrinter();
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();
            System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController standardPrintController = new System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController();
            Telerik.Reporting.Report rpt = new Telerik.Reporting.Report();            
            reportProcessor.PrintController = standardPrintController;
            reportProcessor.PrintReport(rpt, printerSettings); 



public string GetDefaultPrinter()
        {
            System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings printerSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
            foreach (string printer in System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
            {
                printerSettings.PrinterName = printer;
                if (printerSettings.IsDefaultPrinter)
                {
                    return printerSettings.PrinterName;
                    //return printer;
                }
            }
            return string.Empty;
        }

Hi,

I am trying to Print directly without any printer window.

I am using the following code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     'Instance the report with all the information already populated
                    Dim IdCardReportToPrint As New IdCardReport

                    'Set the Printer Setting
                    Dim CustomPrinterSettings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
                    CustomPrinterSettings.PrinterName = "IDCardPrinter" '

                   'Print Directly
                    Dim ReportPrint As New Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor
                    ReportPrint.PrintReport(IdCardReportToPrint , CustomPrinterSettings)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It worked fine in the developer machine, it prints directly without any windows. Ones we deployed in the web server we are getting the following error:

ERROR ***********************************

08/27/2009 14:00:06
Type : System.InvalidOperationException
Message : Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
Source : System.Windows.Forms

END ERROR****************************************

I think what is happening is when we send to print it try to print in the server. Does this function print in the local machine or in the server?

We also use this article to print but it show the printers windows of the explorer and we dont want it. Any ideas?

Best Regards.

Hello,

I just made a simple report which use a report.parameter to select some data.
The parameter is filled through a DataSouce with a Name and a Id field.
When i switch to preview the parameter box is filled and i can select a name from it.
Then clicking the Preview button a empty report is shown.
The value of the parameter is not passed or, when a extract the value from the parameter.value there is nothing.
I do this in the NeedDataSource Event before building the query.

Dim Id As String = Report.ReportParameters("Parameter1").Value.ToString

This worked before in older reports but now, whatever i try there is no value.
Is something changed??

I'm glad if somebody can help me before i spent a lot of time on something changed or a bug.

Regards,

Ferry

Hi

We need to plot to two different kind of chart series (Line and Point) on a single report. We are able to achieve it when we don't any grouping but unable to plot correctly when grouping is involved. Please refer the attached snapshot. This is the expected format with grouping.

Data structure:
  
We need to group by EmployeeName on X axis. 
Line Series Data : MinValue and MaxValue
Point Series Data : Average

Please let me know how to achieve this? It would be grateful if you could provide any code samples.

Thanks in advance
