Hello,

I'm currently binding a picturebox to a database field in my report. If null is returned from the database, I would like to display a default "photo not available" picture. I tried to accomplish this by setting the picturebox value to the desired default image, and setting the picturebox binding to the database field - that didn't work. I also tried to do some conditional formatting based on if the Fields.Picture was null, and set the background to the default image - that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

We are in the process of planning for the upgrading all our telerik tools (including reporting) from our current versions which are about 3 years old to the latest versions and would like some advice on the best way of doing so.

We currently use Telerik asp.net for AJAX, Telerik winforms and Telerik reporting tools for our inhouse system and are thinking of starting the upgrade with reporting tools first.

We will be trying to do this sequentially and concurrently, also take the opportunity to upgrade visual studios from 2008 sp1 to 2012.

As we are thinking of upgrading the telerik reporting api first, we would like to know whether the best way is upgrade incrementally by versions ( time consuming since our current version is v4.1.10.714) or just download the latest telerik version. The reports are used by both the webapplications and winforms app and are stored in its own report project.

Please advise?

Regards

Jonathan

Hi Team

We are rendering pie chart with numerous slices which are dynamically generated based on the responses for the particular question, while we doing this pie slice's labels are overlapping. Kindly please provide the solution.

I have attached the expected format (Expected_Pie_Chart_Labels.png) as well as over lapped one(pie-slices-label-value-overlap.png).

We tried the suggestion which is mentioned on this link -

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/reporting/telerik-reporting/pie-chart---connect-labels.aspx


When we applied IntelligentLabelsEnabled = true Its skipped few slice's labels which are causes overlapping. Please refer the attached image - piechart-no-overlap-but-label-value-skipped.png, there one of pie slice's response lablel was skipped.

Apart from this, we played around with decreasing the font size, increasing plot area, margin, label appearance property as well, but no use. 

One more issue we encountered here is, when we have 2 slices response's percentages are same, then only one leader line is rendering instead of two, this also causes over lapping even though we have enough space and less slices in pie. 

code snippet:

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart chart = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart)groupHeaderSection.ChildElements.Find("chtItemPie", true)[0];
         Telerik.Reporting.Chart chartDef = (Telerik.Reporting.Chart)chart.ItemDefinition;
         chartDef.AutoLayout = true;
         chartDef.IntelligentLabelsEnabled = true;
         Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries chartSeries = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries();
         chartDef.Series.Clear();
         chartSeries.Type = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesType.Pie;
         chartSeries.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;
         chartDef.Legend.TextBlock.Visible = true;
         chartSeries.Appearance.ShowLabelConnectors = true;
         chartSeries.Appearance.StartAngle = 270;
         chartSeries.Appearance.ExplodePercent = 8;
         chartSeries.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Distance = 30;
         chartSeries.Appearance.DiameterScale = 0.85;
         chartSeries.Appearance.Border.Width = 2;
         chartSeries.Appearance.Border.PenStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid;

Hi,
I have developed number of projects in Visual Studio 2010 using Telerik Reports  v. 6.2.12.1017 (Q3 2012)

Now I'm using Visual Studio 2012, and want to install the latest version of Telerik Reporting v. 7.0. 13.426 (Apr 26, 2013)

I want to keep the old version for Visual Studio 2010, Because I have tried it before, as in the latest version of Telerik reporting they have obsolete some features from old versions which I have used in most of my Reports. and those projects with old version of Telerik reporting doesn't work with the latest version.
some of then are as bellow

Actually When I try to Install it from Telerik Control Panel, it gives the following warning

* All previous versions installed on the machine will be removed.
"Snapshot is attached"

Is there any way, so my Old Projects should use the old version of Telerik Reporting and New Projects should use the latest one...???

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have an existing view with an view model as the data context, I am adding a report (Telerik Reporting 2013Q1) to the page, I use one of the public properties of the viewmodel as the data source (it's a list of object), but the report is empty seems like there is no data, here is some code:

1. the view
<tr:ReportViewer Name="ReportViewerStrats" ReportSource="{Binding DataContext.ReportSource, ElementName=StratsView}"/>

2. the property view model
private List<MyItem> _myItems;
public List<MyItem> MyItems
{
    get { return _myItems; }
    set
    {
        _myItems = value;                
        base.OnPropertyChanged("MyItems");
    }
}

3. the initialize in view mode:
MyItems = GetItems();   //Get from database
ReportSource = new MyReport();


And finally the report is attached. In debug mode, I check the view model (MyItems) does have data.

thanks.

Is there an option for a slider or something within the reportviewer that shows all the pages but at thumbnails, that once clicked it will jump to that page? In another control we were using it had this option, so I wanted to know if Telerik's reporting tool has this as well or at least a way to emulate it with some other control. Like using a ListBox or something

Hello,

My company just purchased a bunch of Telerik controls. We noticed there was a reporting control so we wanted to take a look at it. Currently we are using Active Reports for all our reports. I was asked to look into what the Telerik Reporting could do for us. I wanted to create a simple report with a few text boxes and a subreport to show data. I am having a hard time though getting data to show in a sub report. I have to set all the report data in a usercontrol file. Since the report would be dynamically filled, I have to reference each control and set the data source to whatever I need. I call my PrepareReport() function to load the data into the report and then stream it. I am able to access my textboxes and set their values and those show fine.The datset below returns 4 records but nothing shows in the subreport when I run it. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched through this forum and google and can't seem to find a solution for what I want to do. Thanks!
private void PrepareReport(Telerik.Reporting.Report rpt)
{
    Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection detail = (Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection)rpt.Items["detail"];
 
    Telerik.Reporting.TextBox txt = (Telerik.Reporting.TextBox)detail.Items["txtDNIdValue"];
    txt.Value = "11111";
 
    Telerik.Reporting.SubReport subRpt = (Telerik.Reporting.SubReport)detail.Items["subReport1"];
 
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    ds = FunctionToFillDataSet();
 
    subRpt.Report.DataSource = ds;
}

I have a report with a grouping based on parameter X.  In addition to this grouping, the report will page break after each grouping, so only one value of X will be on a page.  I have a footer in the pageFooter section with the current time and page number, and I want to put the X parameter into the footer.

The X parameter is being put into the footer but only the first instance.  For example, if the X values I have are A, B, C, I have a page for A, B, C but the footer always says A.

My page break occurs after the groupFooterSection for X.

What can I do to get around this problem?  Thanks.

Exporting to Excel takes a long time and I would like to display a message like "Exporting.... Please wait" so the user does not think the web page is frozen. The ReportViewer already has a "Generating Report" message so I assumed it would have a message for exporting. I tried putting the ReportViewer in a RadAjaxPanel and setting a RadAjaxLoadingPanel but no spinning wheel appeared.
 
I am using the latest Telerik Reporting and .Net 4 Framework. Any ideas?
