Hello Forum,
I upgraded my free trial Telerik Reporting installation to Licensed Q3 installation. When I upgraded a VS2010 web project using Telerik Upgrade wizard, I've started getting the Error: "Image Format Not Supported: Emf" in HTML Preview and in Report Viewer in ASPX page.
I tried to change the Image format property of the individual chart objects on the report to all the other formats listed, however that seems to be not accepting any other format than Emf.

Any suggestion to resolve this problem?

I'm using Q1 2012 for an MVC 3 Application where a report is generated, attached to an email and sent.  The parameters are applied from an object model containing all report parameters and strings representing each value.  When applying the value in plain text, the report runs and attaches to the email as it should
EX.
Report.ReportParameter.Value[0] = "Value"

But when doing the same from the model, I receive an inner exception for an invalid parameter

Working Code:
rpt.ReportParameters[4].Value = Reporting.GetParametersObject("VAL1; VAL2");

But when the code is changed to this:
rpt.ReportParameters[4].Value = Reporting.GetParametersObject(email.EmailReportParameters.ToString());

I receive and inner exception error and the parameter value returns to null.

The GetParametersObject converts a string to an Object[].

The debugger shows the same values in both cases as type {string[]}

Model: (I've also tried an Object[] for EmailReportParameters with the same result)
public class EmailReport
    {
        public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
        public string EmailAttachmentExtension { get; set; }
        public string EmailAttachName { get; set; }
        public string EmailSubject { get; set; }
        public string EmailBody { get; set; }
        public String[] EmailReportParameters { get; set; }
    }

Single value parameters are working properly:
rpt.ReportParameters[0].Value = email.EmailReportParameters[0];

Error Detail:
InnerException   {"Invalid value of report parameter 'LineOfBusiness1'."}

Howdy,

So, like the title says - I have a simple report which uses the Report Header section to display a graphic. The header also has a border around it, as does the detail section. In design as well as during runtime it looks good - however, open print preview and it all goes down hill :)

I've attached two screenshot that show the issue. I've seen similar behavior when controls overlap etc - but there is none of that in this report (at least as far as I can tell.)

Regards,

Andreas

Hello,

I have like 20 reports to create...
But, the first page of the 20 reports are always the same.

Is it possible to do like a "Master page" for the first page ?
Because if one day I have to modify the first page I would like to do it once... And not on each reports.

Thank you

Hi,

I am using telerik for reporting in my web application. I have 2 projects
1. ReportLibrary
2. Web application

I have my connection string in web.config file of my web application project.
As I have used reporing wizard to create my reports.....it saved new connection string in app.config file.
I want to use the same connection string which is there in the web.config file.

So How do we do that?
any answer would be appreciated.

I have been using Reporting Q2 2011 in VS 2010 and am wanting upgrade to the newest version. Previously I would download the msi, install it and VS would ask if I wanted to upgrade.

This time I needed to use the TelerikControlPanel to get the version installed. However, VS did not offer to auto upgrade and when I selected the upgrade wizard from VS I got the error message "There are no references to upgrade in the current solution!"

I found the instructions for the manual upgrade here http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/general/upgrading-to-a-newer-version-of-telerik-reporting.aspx but before proceeding want to see if I was missing something obvious.

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi... I'm pretty new to reporting and I need some help solving a problem..

Firstly, my datasource is a collection of items returned from a web service.  The items can be parents of other items.  I need to create a report that shows all items where IsKey is true.  Then, for each item below that, I need to show the children.  The problem is that since each child can in turn have children, the report needs to be recursive.  My subreport has a parameter and filter on the ID.  My first idea was to add a reference to the same subreport but it says I can't because of circular references.  Is there a way to do this?

Here is an example class

pubic class foo
{
    public Guid ID;
    public String Name;
    public Boolean IsKey;
     
    public List<foo> Children;
}

My report needs to look something like this (where the level can be infinite):

Report Name

--------------



Item.Name
---Item1.Child1.Name
   ---Item1.Child1.Child1.Name
       ---Item1.Child2.Name
       ---Item1.Child3.Name

---Item2.Name

My report runs fine in the viewer and you can still export it from the viewer, but programatically exporting the report now fails after going from 2012 Q1 to Q2 (6.0.12.215 to 6.1.12.611).

Code:
Telerik.Reporting.Report rpt = new TED.Web.Defender.DReport { DataSource = reportData };
Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();
Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = rpt;
Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult result = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, null);

Error:

{"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}

I have a fairly simple scenario that hopefully someone else has encountered and knows how to solve.

In a report, I have a pretty normal table of fields that show information about a tutoring session.  Under this, I have a field that shows a note that was entered by the session's teacher, and then under that I have two more subreports.

If the note is empty, I make the textbox invisible, however the location of the other controls (i.e. the sub reports below the note field) is not relative / dynamic, so when the note field is not visible, there's a whitespace gap in its place that I would like to get rid of.

Is there a way, without having to programmatically alter the location of every other control on the report, to accomplish what I want?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a subreport within a table row to display subrecords of the current row (see image1). The problem is that the row does not grow with the contents of the subreport. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance
