Good morning,

I'm trying to use the report viewer to display a web based report. I've already placed it on my server and was just running a couple of test inquiries with date parameters that designate what date range to display the reports, and any report > 2000 records begins to time out. I tried increasing the time out server side, and it's still giving me a problem.

My question is, is there way to prevent this issue? I am not doing a lot of sorting, filtering, or grouping. Essentially, my query is a basic Select with maybe one join in a stored procedure in SQL Server. I have used that as my data source and when I am pulling up the report the only two parameters that I give the report are a start date and end date.

The error that I am getting is always the following

[HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.]

Is there a way to resolve or prevent this short of just increasing the timeout to 3000 like I saw other people doing? I do not want to put too much overhead or load on the server. Another question, just to verify, Telerik does not "lock out" the records when I'm running the report viewer, correct? Since most of the reports that I have tried to run seem to take about 6 - 8 minutes to respond, I just want to ensure that I am not preventing other processes from accessing the same records.

Also, could it possibly be because of the multiple pages that the report viewer is rendering? I have it currently set to display only 22 records per page, but I forgot how to adjust that. So another question is how do I inform the report viewer that I want it to display more than 22 records per page?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I have a chart that is very near what I need. But the legend area on the right is displaying empty entries. How can I get rid of them? I have a filter setup at the chart level already. I have attached an image.

I have a chart that is displaying data I want to filter out. This is depicted in the attached file unfiltered.png. So I applied a filter to the chart(the same filter is applied at the report level) and get what you see in filtered.png. How can I apply the filter to the legend area?

I am combining multiple identical reports in a report book and then saving the rendered report in an Excel 97-2003 Worksheet file. I'm getting the following error when Excel tries to open the generated report:

"Excel found unreadable content in 'PulledOrders.xls' Do you want to recover the content of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."

Trusting in myself, I click yes and Excel repairs the file claiming it renamed an invalid worksheet name for each report (I'm naming each report with a unique name using report.Name). The excel file then has one perfectly rendered worksheet with the name I gave it and an identical one beside it with a name like 'Recovered_Sheet1'.

What am I doing that would cause this. Is there a special way to set each name in a report book that's different from naming each report?

BTW, I'm not using the viewer for any of this, just rendering the file directly.

I have a report which i am using recursively as a subreport.
At runtime, i modify the report based on user inputs (I add some columns, sorting,  groupings, etc.).
I would like to clone the already customized report instance so that I can provide it as the subreport reportsource without having to redo the customization for every single instance. 

Is there an easy way to do that? Are report instances Clonable?

I have a silverlight project and am setting up the separate project for the reports.  There are about 500 to build, upsizing from an old desktop program.  Is there a max number or size limitation in the report project/dll I should watch for?

I'm implementing several reports that have sub-reports (for many-to-one relations). Originally I designed the sub-reports as separate .trdx files and linked them; unfortunately I need to have the sub-reports in-line in the xml code of the main report for them to work within our application.

When they're initially laid out as referenced files the spacing is fine; once I drop the code in line the right margins of the report are pushed out. I verified the sizes are correct for both the sub-reports and the layout panels I used (again, it previewed fine when the sub-reports were referenced files) and that there was no extra padding or margin information. It's clear that this is being caused by the sub-reports as the main design area (where the sub-reports are) is pushed out but the header and footer (which contain no sub-reports) are the correct width.

The only thing I could think of is that the sub-reports are inheriting margin information from the main report; could you verify if this is the case? If so, how can I prevent this? (i.e., can I insert margin information at the end of the sub-report that will override the inherited margins?). If margin information is not inherited by the sub-reports, can you suggest a cause and fix?

I'm planning on creating a reportbook containing a set of  separate one-page reports, some of which contain charts.  Separate reports for each page because each page is completely different.

Handily, I have a report table already given to me containing these fields:

Report Key -- each user will only be able to see particular sets of data
Report page number: 1 to X
Report row number: 1 to about 30
Report column 1
Report column 2
Report column 3
.
.
.
etc to Report column 16.  Some pages have 16 columns across, others have fewer.  On the printed page, I have to insert literal values like:

Heading
        Subheading
                 Description      --- then the columns for row 1 
                 Other               ---- then the columns for row 2 etc

All I really have to do is transfer the columns for row 1 into row 1 of the page I'm working on, then row 2, etc.

What's the simplest way to go about this in Telerik Reports?  I'm thinking I may have to have one subreport for each row.

I'm considering in purchase Telerik Reporting for my company, but I want to clear the following questions:

* Reports created with Report Builder 3.0 (2012) are supported?
* If I have deployed those reports in the ReportServer, the Telerik ReportViewer can load them in my ASP.NET Webform application?
* Currently I'm using ReportViewer control for Visual Studio, how much differ Telerik's control from this one? I can pass the Path to the control to render it?
* Does Telerik support Remote processing?

Thanks in advance!
