Hello,

I have to generate a report that can be exported to PDF.
This report is consist of 4 section (like sub report) and each has a different data source as each would call a different store procedure.

How can I have multiple data source. Do I have to design them sepratly and put them all as a sub report into a master report or can I have each table for each section in one report... ?

I know for fact it is possible in the Crystal Report Basic that comes with Visual Studio but it is so basic and crap. But you can design each report individually and just drag and drop them into a master report. Each one knows its own data source and you do not have to specify any data source for the master report. Is this possible in Telerik Reporting?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Mehdi

I feel like I'm going to slap my head in embarrassment here, but I need to ask the question.

I don't see anything in the Telerik licensing about the stand-alone executable. All references are to the Report Designer. But "Report Designer" is also used in the general sense as the VS component. So it seems like the license for these is one and the same.

With a DevCraft Complete license we get Reporting tools, which includes the stand-alone designer.
Am I correct that the stand-alone designer is NOT for distribution to any end-user who has not purchased a license?
In other words, just because we have a stand-alone designer in DevCraft, that does not mean we can provide it to our clients. The stand-alone designer is there merely as an alternative to VS for our own use - and demos to our clients who wish to maintain reports. Is that all accurate?

When the stand-alone designer first came out, I believe it was separately purchased. But I don't see that anywhere now. So for an end-user to design their own reports, do they need to purchase the full stand-alone developer license for US$599? That seems a bit steep, but then again, for what it does I don't think that cost is prohibitive.

Thanks!

I have reports already designed and working perfectly. Now the client requirements are bit changed. We need to hide a report column at the run time based on configurations. Obviously one workaround we already have is that we have 2 versions of the reports, one with the column and one without the column. Now as the number of reports increases, we can not afford to make the duplicates of each report. One version with the column  and the other version without this column.
Now our concern is find a way to SHOW/HIDE this column dynamically based on our configuration without disturbing the layout/design. Although there are multiple workarounds here on this forum but we can not do this because we already have designed and deployed these reports. Most of the workarounds would ultimately require us to re design the reports from the scratch. Of course we can not do that because this would doubles the effort and our client does not allow this.
What we want is that is there any way to SHOW/HIDE a table column of a report at run time and keeping the consistency (layout) of the reports intact? So if we shoe/hide a table column, is this space(width) will be adjusted automatically?
We are wondering if there is a solution in the latest release of telerik reporting..?

We appreciate any help regarding this,

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to know if there are other users of Telerik Reporting that eagerly wait for the crucial drill-through feature to be implemented to Telerik Reporting chart items?

It is astonishing that this feature still is missing from the Reporting. It would be the real reason for many clients to take the Telerik Reporting into use. Currently the drill-through is only available in the table style reports. With charts the only option is to go to other report/url without any information what was clicked on the chart... I already posted a ticket about this and it has been promised to be implemented but it would be good to know how important feature this is for other users. We at least see it as almost mandatory.

Best regards

I've converted a huge report from SSRS to Telerik, but when the report tries to render with a table visibility set to false I'm getting a generic error message

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

It would be nice to get a little bit of more information about where and why.


How can I determine what element is causing this error?
Is there any way to debug the extension methods or at least have them dump the debugging to a text file.

Thanks
Steve

Hello!

i have one question. I make report that has one table in it, and text over and under table. My customer want that when he export to word, that is only table real table, and text is plain text. Because when he open it ,with table pc or phone, he viwe borders all over the report. My word doesn't make them, but seems that other versions of word show table borders. is any way to do this? I'm afraid that this is not possible, because al report is generated as a table. am i right?

Thanks

We are having an issue when printing reports via iPad.  The report will generate and preview correctly.  However once you attempt to print the report it print once but then “locks up” and will not generate the report viewer again.  Issue happens in the Safari and Opera mobile browsers.

Process given below:

Enter the parameters for the report and click "Go To Report":
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10641149/Photo%20Jun%2022%2C%204%2001%2024%20PM.png

Preview displays.  Click the Print button in the top toolbar.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10641149/Photo%20Jun%2022%2C%204%2001%2057%20PM.png

Report is generated for actual printing.   Click the back arrow in the browser. 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10641149/Photo%20Jun%2022%2C%204%2002%2037%20PM.png

Returns to this screen.  Click the custom “Done” or click the back arrow in the browser.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10641149/Photo%20Jun%2022%2C%204%2001%2057%20PM.png 


Returns to this screen.   Any subsequent attempts to hit the "Go To Report" button do nothing and the browser becomes unresponsive to the button click.

I am in report designer, have a data source - from a sql data base/connection - i can run through the data source wizard through test and see the data i need to use in this report.  I grab a textbox or a htmltextbox from the toolbox (Telerik Ajax Controls) - and place it on the report - then go to the Properties view, go down to the Value property, click it to bring up the Edit Expression and when I select Fields, the box where the data source fields should be says "No Data Source".  I have done many reports - and this box displays the data source fields just fine, and now it does not.  Where am i overlooking? 

Thanks in advance.
