Adding reports to ReportBook in Code-Behind

Hi,

I have successfully added a class with all my reports to my current project. However I do have a screen where the user can select which reports he/she want to print in a reportbook and save it into a pdf, and mail it to the user.

Currently the routine is as follows:
Select Case ReportSelected
    Case 1
          reportBook.Reports.Add(New Report1())
    Case 2
          reportBook.Reports.Add(New Report2())
    Case ....
End Select

This goes up to 40 at this stage.

What I want to know is if it is possible to this data in a database table and put the system through a loop to retrieve the report name from the database and add it to the reportbook?

Something like this :
While dbReader.Read()
     reportBook.Reports.Add(New dbReader("ReportName"))
End While

Report Viewer Not Refreshing on Form Load?

Hi

I’m new the Telerik Reporting and I’m having an issue with the report viewer in my windows form project that I’m a bit stumped on.

When I run the form I need to hit the refresh button or the viewer is blank.

I followed this quick start guide…

http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/quick-start-windows-viewer.html

… and as far as I’m aware I have not missed anything.

To me it seems like the RefreshReport method is not being called but I’m not sure.

I went through the motions for two separate projects and ran into the same problem.

I realize that this is not much to go on but I don’t know what else I can say.

Loading Page... never completes

I am a new user of the Telerik Reporting components, so please bear with me. I have successfully created a self hosted WCF reporting service (derived from ReportServiceBase), created a report and added the ReportViewer to a Silverlight 4 application. The calls from the client to the server have been successful as well. The problem is when the ReportViewer goes to display the first page, the status message "Loading Page..." never goes away! I used Fiddler to determine that the GetPage call is returning with data, but the viewer never displays the result.

What am I doing wrong?

Filter entities when using OpenAccessDataSource

I have read through the doco on using OpenAccessDataSource with reporting. My preview of my report is working fine, so its getting data from the model OK. Though the doco is very short on how to initialise the report with the ORM objects/apply filtering.

To me the examples in the help seem very contrived as they show the OADS controls as being external to the report, when in fact they are a member inside the report, meaning the cannot be initalised externaly as shown in the examples.

In my case, I have two OADS objects in my report, one for the order, one for the orderItems.

How should I set parameters so that the OADS control gets the correct data for the report.
In my case, I just want to set massOrderId externally.

Hopefully I'm missing something very basic.

Thanks,

Pat.

List - Setting Top of the Children

Hi,

I need to use the list in a way it may have not been designed for. I thought I will ask this question to see if this is possible. If not, I will look into other avenues.

I need to display of List of items(say pictureboxes) but want them all the in the same row. Each of those picturebox's Left property would be set in a such a way that they don't overlap each other. I have tried setting Top properties of the picturebox, the panel that gets added by default to the list with no luck.

Telerik gurus, look forward to your advise!

Thanks in advance
Neelima

Horizontal Paging - columns repeating

Hi;

I'm new to Telerik reporting and would like to ask a question. I have a report that will paginate horizontally. To clarify - there will be more columns that can fit on a single page. This report will also contain 2 columns that are required to display on each page. So - the report will have the following - 2 columns (displayed on the left side) - that will show on every page. 1 or more columns that will be displayed to the right of the first 2 columns - and these columns may require horizontal pagination.

What I would like to know is how to configure a Telerik Report to operate like this. I was thinking using multiple groups - but I've found that groups will be displayed sequentially on the report - and I do not know how to get groups to to disaply beside each other. I looked at the table item and it looks like it is suppose to handle horizontal paging - but I need some way to set the table to repeat columns on a page. Or find another way to do this part.
