In MS Access reporting, one of the abilities it has is to keep a report group together based on a column instead of a whole page.

Now, I have read over the documentation on multi column reports and the relevant forum posts as well.  As I understand it so far what I am about to ask is not currently supported, but perhaps it could be in the future.

We have a popular report that is multicolumn that looks as follows:

TOTALS                Store #1            Store #2
Total Units                  5                       10
Product1 Income      $500                  $1000
Product2 Income      $600                  $2000
Product1 Avg           $132                  $325
....

Essentially the first column is a header column going down the page, and then each of the next columns is a different part of the grouping called "stores". 

As I have seen so far telerik reports for multicolum cannot handle this kind of grouping behavior.  Is this correct or have I missed something?  If it does not support this ability, are there plans to add this in the future?

Although in some ways the point is moot since according to the documentation the HTML viewer will only render one column anyway.  I would definitely need it to render all the columns in the HTML viewer since our application is web based.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I'm building a report where the data is coming from a WCF Data Service.

I've therefore taken the approach outlined in this thread - http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/reporting/telerik-reporting/getting-data-from-web-service.aspx

In my report class I've added reference to the WCF Service and then implemented an extension - giving me a method that gets the data from the actual WCF service and returns an enumerable of the datatype I need to put into a table in the report.  My new method is called "GetInvoicesDueThisMonth"

I've then added an ObjectDataSource from the toolbox and set it up in exactly the same way as the thread above - with the DataSource being the WCF service client class and the DataMember being the new extension method I implemented.

Next I set the DataSource of the Report to be the ObjectDataSource I added from the toolbox.

Finally I clicked on the Table Wizard from the toolbox and when I select my ObjectDataSource from the "Current Data Sources" - it throws back an error "Method GetInvoicesDueThisMonth() Not found."

I've attached two screenshots - the first showing the method implemented in the service extension and the second showing the error I'm getting...  I've obviously had to blackout parts that I can't show.

Any idea how to resolve this and what I could be doing wrong?

Hi,

Thank You ,

hi!

i have a report where the textboxes in the GroupHeader and Detail use the Docking = Left to simulate a table. In the Detail section, i use filters to add a border-top and border-bottom depending on a value and also to alternate the background-color of the row.

The code that i use is this:

Everthing works fine except that when i publish the report in PDF format, the width of border-top is really at 2px but the width of border-bottom is at 1px (check the report.png file)
 
With the test that i've made, i think the problem come from the background color of the next row (gray) that overlap the previous row (white) for 1px. This is why i have a border-bottom of 1px and not 2px. If i alternate the background-color differently (the next row is white and the previous row is gray), the border-bottom have 2px (check the report_alt.png)

Also, if you check the header of the table, you will see that to border-top and border-bottom is different compared to the ones on the other column. I have put a red arrow to show you where exactly. The difference between the two textboxes here is that the first one use a border-left of 1px but not the other one aside. If i remove the border-left, the border-top and border-bottom will be identical of the one aside.

Do you have an idea on how to solve these problems? btw, i've tried to use the Table control but i didnt found how to use it properly on this simple report.

thank you for the help!

I have a SqlDataSource that shows results, but not shown DataExplorer fields, the query is done through a stored procedure that contains dynamic SQL.

Hi there

An old version of Telerik Reports (2.0.1.0) I have on a large web site will not compile (publish) when I have the latest version of your reports installed (5_1_11_713). It keeps adding a reference to the new version of the reports in my config file, even though the old version is all that is referenced.

It adds reference to the new version , and then errors out on a section of code that tries to create PDF files:

 buffer = Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor.Render("PDF", rpt, Nothing, mimType, extension, encoding)
 fs = New FileStream(lblPDF.Text & lstSelected.Items(intYCount).Text & ".pdf", FileMode.Create)
fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
  fs.Flush()
 fs.Close()

: The line " Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor.Render" comes back with an 'ambiguous namespace' issue. This code works fine when I uninstall the newer version of the Reports (5_1_11_713).

Thanks - David

Hello.

I'm having trouble with a report. The data source is a list of objects, each of which I know to have certain public properties. My textboxes are bound to those properties in the usual way (e.g. "=Fields.Name").

I am getting errors in my report indicating that it could not find the properties for those textboxes, in certain cases. When my data source objects directly implement a public property "Name", all is well and I get data in the textbox bound to the property Name. HOWEVER, if my data objects inherit from another class, which has a public property "Name", then I get those nasty red boxes that say "An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'Name': The expression contains object 'Name' that is not defined in the current context".

Am I correct that the TextBox is not seeing inherited public properties? If so, is there something I can do so that those inherited public properties will show up in my reports?

Thanks!

Deare All,

Hello!

I have a telerik Report with various Date fields, 2 of them are the report parameters and the other is from my database.

I set the date format for my 2 textbox that shows the Selected date on the DateTimePicker to 01/01/2011
and to my date column i set a format like this: 01/01/2011 08:00 (with time)

My problem is, on development machine all works perfect, but when i deploy my application, the fields show the dates in a differente way,
all of them use this format 1/1/2011 (without the "0").

I tried everything untill now and had no success, my question is, there's something that i need to change to get this format on my date times in the server or something?

I attach a image taht shows the problem.

Thank you!
