Hi,

I try to build up the report definition dynamically. The exact report definition depends on the data sent to the contructor (eg, dynamic number of colums). But Telerik Report seems to call the parameterless constructor where we do not have the needed data to build up the report definition. Why do we need a parameterless constructor  and why are multiple instances created with the parameterless constructor?

I have an sample ASP.NET MVC 4 project exemplifying this scenario but i cant attach it,
How do i attach a sample project?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Our client/server application project is at a crossroads report technology wise. We have been experimenting with Telerik Reporting, creating a prototype in which the report definitions are stored as Xml in a database on the server side, deserialized and presented client side. The report data sources are domain model objects passed from the server to the client. An unconditional demand from our product owner is that end-users are given the opportunity to edit existing reports, and also create new alternative ones. We were unable to fully accomplish this using existing Telerik Reporting technology, since the only report editing capabilities provided is the stand-alone report designer. This designer, although for it's purposes fully functioning, provides no alternatives for datasource that are useful to us.

What we would need to know, to be able to make an informed decision regarding Telrik as vendor, is whether a report designer component that can be embedded in our WPF client application is in the Reporting roadmap. And, if so, when this might be available. The reason we need this, apart from not having to temporarily store the Xml-definition clientside as a trdx-file, is to be able set the data source programatically, enabling the end-user to add report fields through drag & drop.

Best regards
Rikard

Hello

I am working on a report, where the PageHeader has to have a label (addressee) that can have 4 different values and depends on the current page and total number of pages in the report. 
I have created a method that takes these, but it is not working as anticipated.

I debugged it and the problem is that the PageCount that is passed is not the final at the time of calling the method. Is there a way to access  the total number of pages from code-behind?

Regards,
Roland

Hi,

I am new to Telerik and I am following the code posted on your website related to adding reports to a website.  However, when I run this code:

Dim instanceReportSource As New Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource()
            instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = New ListBoundReport()
            ReportViewer1.ReportSource = instanceReportSource

I get an error message saying that 'Type Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource is not defined'.  I have my reference to Telerik.Reporting.  I was wondering if you can help me figure what I am missing.

Thank you,
Leo

Hi there,

I noticed a very strage behavior while creating a PDF-report:
it's a quite simple report with a table with data from an objectDataSource.datamenber (a method that collects the needed data elsewhere)
If I just show the output on screen with the reportviewer everything works as expected.
But if I switch to only PDF-output, I got a second thread "rendering" and BOTH threads do use the datamember so it runs twice delivering exactley the same data. So my output tooks twice as long.
So why do both threads (rendering and "main") are using the objectDataSource? Can I somehow deny spawning a second thread?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.  Does anyone knows what the code is and how to apply this to the Telerik equivalence?

 	Dim MyTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        Dim mySubreport As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument

I have a question, that seems extremely simple, but I can not seem to figure it out. I have created a basic report and simply added a datasource. I have a list of parts, and I would like for the column headers to repeat on each page, not on each line. If I put the column headers in the details section, they repeat on every row. If I put them in the page header, they then appear above the report header.

How can I simply put the column headers below the report header, and have the repeat on each page. Seems like I need to add a second page header, but have it below the report header.

I am doing this through the GUI also.

Hi,

I would like to create a  report based on a generic IList. How do I get the generic type to load in the report's design view? I can't seem to be able to add it as a datasource.

Hi,

I am following the example "AutoGenerateColumns" found on the forum to dynamically populate data from the database in Telerik.Reporting.Table.


	private void table1_ItemDataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table processingTable = (sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table);
            processingTable.DataSource = _dataTable;
 
            //create two HtmlTextBox items (one for header and one for data) which would be added to the items collection of the table
            Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox textboxGroup;
            Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox textBoxTable;
 
            //we do not clear the Rows collection, since we have a details row group and need to create columns only
            this.table1.ColumnGroups.Clear();
            this.table1.Body.Columns.Clear();
            this.table1.Body.Rows.Clear();
            int i = 0;
            this.table1.ColumnHeadersPrintOnEveryPage = true;
            foreach (DataColumn dc in _report.ReportData.Columns)
            {
                Telerik.Reporting.TableGroup tableGroupColumn = new Telerik.Reporting.TableGroup();
                this.table1.ColumnGroups.Add(tableGroupColumn);
                this.table1.Body.Columns.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.TableBodyColumn(Unit.Inch(1)));
 
                textboxGroup = new Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox();
                textboxGroup.Style.BorderColor.Default = Color.Black;
                textboxGroup.Style.BorderStyle.Default = BorderType.Solid;
                textboxGroup.Value = dc.ColumnName.ToString();
                textboxGroup.Size = new SizeU(Unit.Inch(1.1), Unit.Inch(0.3));
                tableGroupColumn.ReportItem = textboxGroup;
 
                textBoxTable = new Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox();
                textBoxTable.Style.BorderColor.Default = Color.Black;
                textBoxTable.Style.BorderStyle.Default = BorderType.Solid;
                textBoxTable.Value = "=Fields.[" + dc.ColumnName + "]";
                textBoxTable.Size = new SizeU(Unit.Inch(1.1), Unit.Inch(0.3));
                this.table1.Body.SetCellContent(0, i++, textBoxTable);
                this.table1.Items.AddRange(new ReportItemBase[] { textBoxTable, textboxGroup });
            }
        }

the DataTable is a very simple two-column table : Employee Name / Employee Email address
The below exception is thrown for each email address table cell when the table is generated :

System.Xml.XmlException: The '@' character, hexadecimal value 0x40, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 30.
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElement()
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElementContent()
   at Telerik.Reporting.HtmlEngine.HtmlParser.ParseHtmlNode(XmlReader reader)
   at Telerik.Reporting.HtmlEngine.HtmlParser.Parse()
   at Telerik.Reporting.HtmlEngine.HtmlParser.Parse(String html, ReportObject parent)
   at Telerik.Reporting.Processing.HtmlTextBox.ProcessItem()
   at Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportItemBase.Process(DataMember data)


Please advise

Thanks
