Has anyone had any luck using the CanShrink property to cause text boxes to move up when the textboxes above them are empty. It is described in the final example of the link below but I can't make it work.

Thanks,

Damian.

Hi,

We need to make a report with on every page a barcode. This barcode is used in a postsortingmachine.
This barcode will be different depending on pagenumber. Is it possible to see on what page u are in the report?
Then we can use the pagenumber to use so logic that creates the correct barcode for that page. U can see this barcode as a secuence of stripes in a vertical way.
If i read the lifecycle then i would say it's not possible. But maybe there is a way to do this anyway.

Kind regards,
Peter

I saw Robert Shoemate. videos on Telerik Reporting and I have been able to follow along and get pretty good results. Now I need to use it with silverlight (WCF Reporting Service) and I know he mentioned there is a video that shows how to set this up. Would you point me out to that video please? I have not being able to set it up properly. I would appreciate it if there is some stepwise approach to get this done. Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to create a drop-down list of values to be used as a report parameter.  These values need to be created programatically at runtime since they are not being retrieved from a database.  I would like to have the same functionality as if this list was being retrieved from a database (i.e. drop-down list of checkboxes to select one or more items, the "select all" option, etc.)

How can the above be done?

Thanks,
Rob

I realize this is jumping into the deep end early but I have just started using Telerik reporting to replace a Crystal Report that I was generating for my company based on an Access database.  Our current infrastructure is set up using an individual Access DB per project so the data binding must be accomplished at run time. In CR, I could simply create the report with no datasource and at run time bind the datasource using

crComCheck1.SetDataSource(dgvComCheck.DataSource)

To mimic this functionality, I have created a Telerik report with an ObjectDataSource.  This ObjectDataSource has its DataSource property set to an xsd dataset that I have defined in my Visual Studio project with the column structure that I desire.  In doing this, I am able to set up a report with the column structure that I would ultimately like to see produced with an object to bind to at runtime.  In code, I am binding this datasource to a datagridview using 

TrComCheck1.ObjectDataSource1.DataSource = dgvComCheck.DataSource

When I go to the Telerik report viewer and refresh the report, it properly pulls all of the columns and row data that I want to see but produces a table for each individual record in the dataset.  So if there were 4 records in the dataset, there would be 4 tables each with the 4 correct records. I was wondering if you could offer some guidance as to why it was behaving in this fashion. Thank you.

Hello,

We are facing problem in Excel Export and giving message

Version: 2010.3 1221

Hello,

I have a subreport that lists "sponsors" of a record in the primary report. I'd like to have the first row in the subreport start with "Sponsors:" and then have the list. I want something like this:

Sponsors:      Bill
                      Joe
                      (Etc.)

I thought I could do this by having a boolean "FirstRow" and set it to true during initialization, then while the text box is binding, do .Visibile = FirstRow, then FirstRow = False. This works, but only for the first instance of the subreport in the main report. Apparently the subreport is not initialized for each primary record or something...

Anyway - does anybody know how I'd go about achieving that kind of behavior?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

I am attempting to create a Console Application to schedule the creation of reports programmatically.  I found your example for creating PDF-files that seems easy enough.

I added a reference to Telerik.Reporting.  I also added "using Telerik.Reporting.Processing;".  Visual Studio 2010 intellisense seemed to accept the syntax and I was presented with intellisense "period-alternatives" (and no squiggly red underlines).

However, when I then attempted to build the project, I received the following error-message:
"The type or namespace name 'Telerik' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

Versions:
Telerik Reporting Q2 2011
Visual Studio 2010 (SP1)
.Net 4.0

Questions:
1. Are there known "issues" using Telerik Reporting with Console Applications?
2. Where else could I possibly reference the Telerik dll?
3.  Since this is a very common need, could you provide sample code for a Console Application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

For my report the content of each page has to be in a box. The size of the box will be fixed, it will be like an outline for the report. The content inside will change or might be blank depending on the data. For that I am trying to use a panel in the detail section with border. The default borderwidth is 1pt, which is very thick. Can I reduce the borderwidth? And also for a line shape, I am not able to reduce the width less that 1pt. Is this a correct approach to have a panel for a box outline in the report? When I saw the demo, Dashboard report has 3 tables like that with header but in video it does not show how it got created. This might be a very small thing but any of the documentation has also not explained how to do that. Will it be possible to get the Report Source files for these demo reports so that I can see the properties in Report Designer. I am using Q3 2009 version of Telerik Reporting.

Thanks
