I just upgraded from trial to "paid" version of Telerik Reporting (v5.0.11.316) and now when I try to configure the Object Data Source (via the Wizard) to point to a custom type I defined in the same project as the Reports , it is unavailable in the "Available data source types list". Other types/classes in referenced projects are available.

The Object Data Source binding at run-time is still working OK but not having the meta data on the types available while laying out/building the reports is a pain. The "trial/demo" version did not have this issue. Thx!

Hi.

I'm just about to purchase a subscription to your asp.netAJAX controls to use in SaaS application but was considering purchasing the Telerik Reporting component too.

Is Telerik Reporting suitable for use in a SaaS Application in terms of 
  • the user being able to apply dynamic report parameters on the fly (E.g. date ranges, country etc)
  • using session variable like a tenantID so as not to inlude data from other customers in the same application
  • having a low CPU usage when generating the reports
  • and most importantly using the Telerik Reporting component in Dotnetnuke

Also, I think i have determined that this is not something I could use to build a web based ad-hoc report builder for my users to use. But is there something else that telerik does that would allow me to build this kind of feature?

Thanks
Chris

When inserting a table I get the following error:

The type or namespace name 'App_LocalResources' does not exist in the namespace 'Test' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\...\Report.Designer.cs)


tableGroup4.Groupings.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.Data.Grouping[] { new Telerik.Reporting.Data.Grouping(global::Test.App_LocalResources.Default_aspx.HyperLink14Resource1_ToolTip)});

Dear Telerik Reporting,

My company considers buying 'Telerik Premium Collection for .NET' bundle. And I wonder if Telerik Reporting supports embedding images that are hosted in a web service? (I.e. as an image source, I supply some link that returns an image).

Thanks,
 Andrey

Hi 
I'm working on wpf smart client with n-tier architecture. 
All the data located in server and available vs WCF services.
How can I user Telerik Reporting to create and show reports on client side without bring the whole db. 
(There is a lot of data in some tables...)
BTW - There is no direct connection to the sql server. 

Thanks
Adiel

Hi Telerik team,

in my ASP.NET reporting solution I need several requirements to be met:

  • Support for DrillThrough reports
  • Support for advanced parameters handling. I have 10s of parameters. Parameters are assigned to groups which can be expanded/collapsed in GUI. In one sentence - rendering and structure of parameters is too complicated to be handled by Telerik Reporting built-in mechanism.

My design is following:

I render input controls for report parameters on my own. These parameters are serialized to a single complex object after submit. This single complex object is set to currently processed report using following assignment:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 // ...
 
 ((BaseReport)ReportViewer1.Report).Parameters = parameters;
  
 // ...
}

Property named Parameters is defined in BaseReport class, which is base class for all my reports.

I assign Parameters property to my datasource parameter in ItemDataBinding event (ItemDataBinding event is defined in BaseReport class, as well).

private void BaseReport_ItemDataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 // ...
  
 ((ObjectDataSource)DataSource).Parameters[0] = new ObjectDataSourceParameter("compositeParameters", typeof(CompositeParameters), Parameters);
  
 // ...
}

 
Here is the problematic situation:

  1. ReportViewer.Report is set to OuterReport in design time
  2. I run the app and view OuterReport
  3. OuterReport has DrillThrough capability, so I click a link and it navigates me to InnerReport
  4. I would expect that (ReportViewer1.Report == InnerReport). Problem is, that (ReportViewer1.Report == OuterReport).

Thus I'm not able to assign parameters in mentioned way (((BaseReport)ReportViewer1.Report).Parameters = parameters;) to InnerReport. In DrillThrough scenario, OuterReport is always stored in property ReportViewer1.Report of ASP.NET report viewer.

Is there a way how to access instance of InnerReport which is navigated using DrillThrough.

Is there any alternative design that would work with Telerik Reporting better?

Thanks for your help!

Jaro

P.S.: I'm expecting problems with refreshing of InnerReport after setting parameters to it. But that's another story.

Dear Telerik Reporting,

In our application we need to implement a scenario, where report is generated in the background (without being displayed on UI) and then saved. Can you please clear up if Telerik Reporting supports this kind of use-cases?

Thanks,

When in the Report Designer, we can click on the Preview tab and it will show the entire report.
At that point i can use the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll down through all my pages.

When i display my report in my Silverlight Project i can only show 1 page at a time.

Is there a setting or away that i can scroll down through my pages without having to go up and click the next button?

For 2 or 3 page reports it would make onscreen use of the reports much better.

After performing a product evaluation by one of the managers other can change the scoring for certain categories. This changes in scoring are stored in the database for reference.

The structure of the evaluation is like this:
Evaluatoin
 - Category
     - Scoring point

an evaluation can have many categories which all can have many scoring points.

My problem is the following:

If I change a scoring point a few times all is entered in the database but in the reports i am only seeing the first scoring point. The rest of them with the same name are left blank but are using space just as it would if all were visible. The stored procedure that is delivering the data is working fine. It bring all data to the report which then displayes it wrong. 

the =Fields.CategoryName is working fine... every category name is displayed correctly
=Fields.ScoringPointName is not working... it displayes only the first and leavese all the rest blank... if for example a scoring point name is Product robustnes it would display only the first change of scoring but wouldnt display the rest

Any ideas???
