We have an existing report solution in one of our legacy applications that uses HTML documents as templates. The reports are generated based on these templates.

It has been decided that we are to switch this application to telerik reporting as we have with some of our other software. Rather than having to re-design the report in the telerik designer, it would be helpful if we could convert the HTML directly to a telerik design. Then, we would only have to create the report datasource and tools.

Is this possible?

Chart Group-Description can't be set

Hi
My situation is like this:
I've a chart on a report. On this chart I display an amount of categories, each of them has thee property that can be bound. Each category has a categoryname like "operating time" or something like that. My problem is now, I can't display these categorynames on the chart. I know it's possible to set the DataLabelsColumn, but that's not my goal. (I also tried to set the plotArea.xaxis... doesn't work)
For better understanding of my problem:

The numbers 1, 2, 3 should display the name of the associated category.

Someone knows how to do that?

Regards Michael

Reporting PDF export of RTL languages

Update
Using:
Copy code

Hashtable deviceInfo = new Hashtable();

deviceInfo["FontEmbedding"] = "Subset";

deviceInfo["ViewerDirection"] = "R2L";

I have checked in Acrobat reader >> Properties, and the "Arial Unicode MS" Font is embedded/subset.
However, Hebrew chars still do not show up at all.

Additionally, I tried embedding a specific freeware Hebrew font (called 'Alef').
In the report it all shows fine, but in the PDF the end result is the same as before, where English chars display fine, but Hebrew chars simply do not show up at all.

any ideas?
Thanx

Conditional formatting to hide group footer when sum is zero?

I want to hide the group footer when the sum of a particular expression is zero -- not just a single field; it's the product of one field with the sum of three others, and I want to sum this product for all group records and check if it is zero. Can I do this with conditional formatting? I have tried various expressions but whenever it is anything except a single field, the footer section shows as a red box in preview.

This is what I really want:
=Sum(Fields.field1 * (Fields.field2 + Fields.field3 + Fields.field4))
=
0

export to docx

I have created a telerik report useing textboxes and a subreport. When I export it to a docx all the controls are exported to the docx. I would like the text only to come over when exported. Following is the code i use to export:

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor TelContractrp = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();

System.Collections.Hashtable deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();

Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource TelContractirs = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();

TelContractirs.ReportDocument = currRpt;

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = TelContractrp.RenderReport("DOCX", TelContractirs, deviceInfo);

string dContract = DateTime.Now.ToString().Replace("/", "");

dContract = dContract.Substring(0, 12);

dContract = dContract.Replace(":", "");

string fileName2 = result.DocumentName + "_" + dContract + "." + result.Extension;

string filePath2 = System.IO.Path.Combine(saveLocation, fileName2);

FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath2, FileMode.Create);

fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);

fs.Close();

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

p.StartInfo.FileName = filePath2;

p.Start();

Transfert information from the ReportViewer to the Reporting service

I am working a on Silverlight solution using the ReportViewer and a subclass of Telerik.Reporting.Service.ReportService for the reporting service.

The report to be produce is about the same, every time, but I needed a way to provide some "parameters" from the client to the service in order to customize the report before generation.

I used the "ReportViewer.Report" property on the client side and a custom IReportResolver on the server side to transfert my information on the service side. This way, my custom IReportResolver could parse the information, instantiate and customize the report before generation.

Example:

Silverlight:

<tkr:ReportViewer ReportServerUri="../ReportingService.svc" Report="param1=X;param2=Y;etc" />

Service:

public class MyReportingService : ReportService, IReportResolver

{

public MyReportingService ()

{

this.ReportResolver = this;

}

ReportSource IReportResolver.Resolve( string report )

{

var myReport = new MyReport();

// Here I customize the "myReport" instance based on the

// value of the "report" parameter

return new InstanceReportSource() { ReportDocument = myReport };

}

Everything work as expected when displayed in the ReportViewer, but when the user click the "save as" button, the "ReportViewer.Report" property value is NOT the one provided to the IReportResolver. The fully qualified name of the Report class is used instead.

Do you have any suggestions to workaround this issue ?

Collapse invisible section

Hi.

I bind against a ObjectDataSource that expose boolean properties that shall decide which of three versions of a particular table I display.

The detail section of the report is pretty large and this "polymorphic" table is a small part of it.

I bind the table Datasource against the "ReportItem.DataObject" property and its Visible attribute against the associated boolean.

However, these tables differ in size, and I would like to avoid the whitespace.

I could stack them on top of eachother (z order) in a panel that has "CanShrink" set to true, but this makes it hard to edit the report in the designer.

Is there any solution where:

I work with them in the designer,
only the ones that evaluates to Visible=true will be displayed
no white space left after the ones that evaluates to Visible=false.

Need previous row field value

For each row in a detail section, I need the field value from the same field in the previous row to calculate the difference. Is this possible and if yes, how?
