Hi,

I have a strange question for you : it is possible to add parameters to the report viewer using JS ? In my case, I have a splitter with 3 panes (take a look to the attached png) and I want my report (in the right lower pane) to show the value of the textbox in the upper pane. Moreover, I don't want my left pane (the one with the tree view) and my upper pane to be refresh each time I reload the report. In other words, when I click on the button "preview", the report should be updated with the good values, but not the upper pane neither the left pane. So, I think I should use javaScript, but I'm not sure if it possible to realise my scenario with JS.

Does anyone have a solution for me ?
Thank you

David

I worked for 1 year with XtraReport of DevExpress, but I've only had problems, very unstable, unfriendly, simple things end up being very complicated. The designer has many many many bugs and work with this has been torture. I can write 50 or 60 lines of problems encountered with the XtraReport.

For 5 days I have been testing the Telerik.Reporting and I'm happy, we are seriously evaluating purchase, ease of use is incredible. I really like the ReportViewer is simple but very powerful, I have to write too much code to use.

Let me clarify, I develop applications for Windows Forms.

I have 2 basic questions:

1.- I can use my connection object instead of the connection string?
2.- How I can bind a datable to the report. I've tried in many ways without success

Dim oTabla As New DataTable
       oTabla.Columns.Add("F1")
       oTabla.Columns.Add("F2")
       oTabla.Columns.Add("F3")
       oTabla.Columns.Add("F4")
 
       Dim objectDataSource3 As New Telerik.Reporting.ObjectDataSource()
       Dim oReport3 As New ReportNew1
       oReport3.DataSource = oTabla
 
       Dim oFrm As New FrmReportViewer
       oFrm.ReportViewer1.Report = oReport3
       oFrm.ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
       oFrm.ShowDialog()      

Thanks you.

Wonderful product.!!

David.

I have a couple of parameterd on my report which have about 9500 string items in them.

I use a Telerik.Reporting.SqlDataSource to fill these up and i am displaying the report in the silvelright report viewer.

The problem is that when you drop down the combo box it take about 20-30 sec for it to happen and also once done it very sluggish scrolling up and down.

Does any one know how to fix this?

Thanks

We are currently creating userdumps from our project while trying to debug a problem and seeing the following error when we generate PDFs.

Exception object: 0000000005a68790
Exception type: System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException
Message: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Telerik.Reporting.XamlRendering.WpfReport.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Telerik.Reporting" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.


We're not using Xaml/WPF at all and all we have referenced is Telerik.Reporting.  Is there another assembly I should be adding so that this exception goes away?

Hello

I have this report that has around 300 pages. Exporting it to CSV takes about 20 seconds and that's ok. But exporting it to PDF or simply displaying it takes around 2 minutes and this seems unacceptable for my client.

Is there any way to speed this up ?

I have web app that customer wants an aspx page converted and saved to a folder, programmatically, without viewing converted pdf.  Is this possible with Telerik Reporting?  I know there are other third party controls out there that can do this, but I was hoping I could use Telerik control.


Thank you,
Bryan

I was hoping to bind the presence or not of a grouping in my report to a dropdownlist/parameter of enabled/visibility??

Is this possible?
I have read the posts about looking at the Initializecomponent code, but am unsure of what to include from this??

perhaps if i wipe the grouping then have another look?

Is it possible to have this dropdown to select grouping within the report or would it be easier to implement external as an actionlink or some such??


Similarly I am unable to get multiple columns working in this report...I've read the documentation on ensuring there are no labels etc extending beyond column width

Anything else I should be looking at??

I show time values in Y Axis as second, but some times values can be big. For example 1000 second.
So this time not clear enough.
And than I want to show timespan values in Y axis with format like hh:mm:ss. How can I do this?   
I use Telerik Report Q2 2011

Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying  to populate a bar chart Dynamically and have been successful so far. My only problem is that I'm not able to widen the lable's of the XAixs. 

I have tried the following code but without any success. (catList is the string array which contains the xaxis items, chart1 is the instance of the chart control )

            ChartAxisItem[] items = new ChartAxisItem[catList.Length];
            ChartAxisItem itm;
            chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.MaxLength = 100;
            for (int i = 0; i < catList.Length; i++)
            {
                itm = new ChartAxisItem(catList[i].Length > 20 ? catList[i].Substring(0, 20) : catList[i]);
                itm.Appearance.RotationAngle = 315f;
                itm.TextBlock.Appearance.MaxLength = 150;
                itm.TextBlock.Appearance.Dimensions.AutoSize = false;
                //itm.TextBlock.Appearance.Dimensions.Height = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit.Pixel(25f);
                itm.TextBlock.Appearance.Dimensions.Width = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit.Pixel(200f);
                chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Items.Add(itm);
            }

I have also attached a screen print of the chart.


Thanks

Nishan

I'm trying to recreate an old report in the Telerik Reporting environment.  I'm having trouble grasping exactly how to do this.  I think that I need to use a crosstab, but I'm unsure of how to set it up.  Here's what I need the report to print:


Page Header
-----------------
Job Code     Employee Name      Dept    
SUP               Dan P.                      10       
JAN                Karl S.                      10      

2 Employees in this Department.


(New Page)
Page Header
-----------------
Job Code     Employee Name      Dept    
SUP               John P.                      20        
JAN               Tony R.                      20        
JAN               Charles B.                  20        

3 Employees in this Department.



So I basically need to group by department.  I need to show the records for that department followed by a total count.  I want each group to display on a new page.  Does this make sense?  Is a crosstab the correct way to do this?
