We're using Version 7.0.13.220 of the Report Designer to allow users to create reports and upload them into our web application.  The TRDX files are stored in the database and at runtime are deserialized with ReportXmlSerializer.  This works well but is rather cumbersome when subreports are used.

The Report Designer provides two options for defining the source of a subreport: 1) Url or File (this embeds a reference to the subreport file and is not an option for us since we store the report definition in a single data record) or 2) XML markup.  

Currently we are requiring the user to open the subreport in notepad, copy the content, select XML markup as the subreport source, and paste the XML into the dialog. 

Are there any plans to extend the Report Designer to allow selecting the subreport file and pulling the XML to prevent the "Open in notepad" approach?  

If not is there any other way to make it easier for the end user?  I'm currently under pressure to extend our report upload process to reach into the TRDX, iterate the subreports, prompt for upload of those files and then set the subreport source to the uploaded XML.  I'd rather not build in this dependency if the Report Designer can to it instead.

On a separate note, it looks like there is a minor defect in the tool tips for vertical spacing controls in the Layout section of the designer.  They all say "horizontal spacing" rather then "vertical spacing".

Thanks

Hello, I'm working with a solution containing silverlight projects and need to integrate a report viewer, I add the user control and all without problems, but when you run the project, to load the user control that contains the ReportViewer me is launching this exception, which is not a data type, so what is strange since the ReportViewer is empty yet. Anyone can help me solve it? Deputy images.

Please, I'm a little desperate.

Hi,
I am working on a project that needs to create an excel based report (excel book with multiple worksheets) from data stored in C# objects.

For example, I have a Customer list, that has names, addresses, and last 5 orders for each customer. This needs to go into one worksheet. Similarly, I will have Inventory list, Pending orders list and so on. No user input, graphs, calculations or formulas.

Is Telerik reporting the right product for this or is it an overkill?
Thanks
Nikhil

Our company has mandated moving to NitorPDF to replace Adobe to solve some latency issues on PC's running Reader X.   After an install of NitroPDF reader, the report viewer stops working.  I understand that it will only work with Adobe.  That being said, I have uninstalled NitroPDF reader from a few machines and am now getting the error described in the title and the image attached below.

The report viewer will display the report but will not open the print dialog box.  It only displays that message that telerik.reportviewer.axd file type is not found and wants to save or find.

I have confirmed this using your sales demo website.

These machines are running Windows 7 32 bit / IE 8

Until last week I've seen this problem, I think Chrome update itself to lastest version (8.0.552.215).
You can see this problem on Telerik Report demo page too. 
http://demos.telerik.com/reporting/sales-dashboard/demo.aspx

Regards

Update:
I got more info. Print button work fine on Chrome version (5.0.375.126). Maybe this is Chrome's problem.
I will report this to Google.

Update:

We just recently upgraded from Q3 2011 to the Q1 2013 version of the report tool. We are putting a QR code in the footer of each page to identify it when scanned. Since we don't know the page number at the time we generate the QR code we are just increment a counter every time the OnDataBinding Event of the picture box that displays the QR code is called. Before the upgrade this worked. After the upgrade the event is getting fired 4 times for every page and it's messing with our page counts. Any suggestions on how to accomplish what we need to do?

Hi,

I'm looking for more detailed documentation on the Graph control that was included with the Q1 2013 release. They current documentation on the site gives a very vague explanation of how to set it up. 

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is design a clustered column stack graph with data pulled from the database which looks something like the attached file below.

With the x-axis being the Date and then one stacked column for the "Planned" data and one for the "Actual" data.

What I've tried to do so far is bind the Datasource to the graph, set up the coordinates system with an x-axis TimeDate scale and the y-axis with a numeric scale. When I add a series and try preview I'm given the following message: 

An error has occurred while processing Graph 'graph1'
Year, month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

Am I correct in thinking that what I would need to do to achieve this would be to:
  1. Add the Graph control to the report
  2. Define the DataSource
  3. Set up a coordinate system
  4. Add either a SeriesGroup or CategoryGroup for the Actual and Planned columns.
  5. Add a series for each of the columns in the dataset with each being in the applicable group, using the same Coordinate System for each series.

Hi,

I can't figure out how i can change background image to every page.
Can you help me?

What i need is to set Report Background Image on Every Page with a different Image. I have a list of Image Path (like these "c:\temp\photo1.jpg","c:\temp\photo2.jpg","c:\temp\photo3.jpg") that in PAGE1 have its background image set to PHOTO1.JPG, same with PAGE2 with PHOTO2.JPG, same with PAGE3; when come in PAGE4 reassign PHOTO1.JPG and so on to infinity.

The codebehind that manage this "loop" i can write by my self, what really i need is to attaching on an event (or a binding expression, or what you want) that call a user function on every "start page creation" that will change the background image.
