Is there a way to save and reuse report elements or layouts?

For example, if I frequently use a horizontal line that spans 100% of the width of the report and has a line width of 3pt, is there a way to save it to the toolbox rather than dragging a shape and configuring it manually?

Or if I always use .5 inch margins, can I configure that as the default instead of having to change the margins on every report?

Or if I use the same page footer on every report, can I save that? 

I know I can copy some elements from one report to another, but if there's a way to create my own custom report elements, can you let me know how?

Thanks!

I have a fax cover page that I have designed for a customer and they have their contact information stored in several appsettings keys.  I can access them at runtime without a problem.  However, in the telerik reporting designer, I cannot preview or html preview them. 

Is there anything special that needs to be done to get this to work in the designer?

Hey there, 

I am working on a silverlight business application that can be accessed using both HTTP and HTTPS. Telerik reporting runs fine over HTTP and after I found this article (http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/silverlight-enable-ssl-for-telerik-reporting-wcf-service.html) I added the bindingConfiguration to my web.config file and it now works on HTTPS, but it no longer works on HTTP. What can I do to allow it to run on both HTTP and HTTPS?

Thanks!

We recently updated to 5.3.11.1116.  In a large report, we have both a page header and a page footer, and each has a normal 
'Page ' + PageNumber + ' of ' + PageCount
setting.  The footer still works fine, but the header throws a null reference exception.

My next step was going to be to reproduce this in code, so I could step through (the 1-line message where the report should be was little help, as it just said some object was not set). Everything I read about how to set page numbers online tells me that I can only do it in footers and headers (which is where I want), and there are a few discussions about the BeginRenderPage event, which I can no longer find.

So, 2 questions:
1) Any idea how PageCount and PageNumber could be unset in a PageHeader section?  This code has not changed since we upgraded from Q1 2010, but now it does not work.
2) What event should I use to use PageCount and PageNumber fields to set my textbox?

Thanks!

Hi,
  Is it possible to have interactive sorting working without using a table? I get Errors like: AvailableValues.ValueMember is not specified for parameter 'SortBy'.

Hello

My report contains a group. The GroupFooterSection is bound with the last item of the group through a filter. The group footer section contains a table with 2 lines.
In some cases -based on a field value- I want to hide the second row. My problem is: 
    -I'm able to hide the content of the second row, but not the second row itself which is a panel: setting 'Style.Visible' to 'false' through Bindings has no effect
    -the space occupied by the hidden row is left blank while I want it to be schrinked.
I tried to add some conditionnal formatting on the table and section in order to decrease the height of the overall section, but without any success.

Is there a way to schrink the place left empty by the hidden row?

Thanks for any answer & suggestion

The documentation for multi-column reports states the following:

The report has a Group. The Group is displayed along with the detail section, and therefore, is incorporated into the columns.

What I'm trying to do is have each set of grouped data display in multiple columns, similar to the attached image.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!
