 I want to apply a watermark type image on the report but want to change it dependant on the state of the document content i.e. if i had a Perameter that returned a string of "Draft" i would want to apply the Draft image to the whole report likewise if the function returned "Approved" i would want to apply the Approved image instead?

I'm very new to telerik reporting, I'm sure I'm missing something;

I have a simple report that has a text box
I have the following classes in the report.cs
class DealerDataSource
{
    public IEnumerable<CalDealer> GetDealerInfo()
    {
        DAdbDataContext xxx = new DAdbDataContext();
 
   //     Dealer deal = db.Dealers.First(d => d.DealerId == 2);
        CalDealer cd = new CalDealer();
        cd.Title = "Test";
        yield return cd;
    }
}
 
public class CalDealer
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
}

 

 

When I add the data context and go to preview the report it gives the error of
"object reference not set to an instance of an object". 
It compiles OK -

If I take out DAdbDataContext xxx = new DAdbDataContext(); the report previews fine.


I know the data context is good as I'm using it in the code behind of a page.

 

 

 Thanks!!

Ron

I'm trying out the new Q2 2011 version 5.1.11.713 features.
I keep reading the "Whats new" section and I'm seeing talk about these new caching features; however I am a little confused.

Does caching only work when using the WCF Reporter Service Implementation?
Can I use the caching features with the standard ASP.net web viewer control?
Will caching work in an out of proc session state set up?

I've been searching through documentation and i can't seem to find hardly any on these subject. 

My reports are larger reports and are throwing out of memory exceptions when running in out of proc session (web farm).
I've read numerous forum post on these issue and have read the design considerations. 
Just wanted to look into the caching options to maybe reduce these errors, but i can't find any documentation or guide on the caching topics.
I would like some more information if anyone could help. 
Any information regarding caching or memory exceptions would be great.

Is it possible to change the background image on a report based on a parameter or value returned by a function ?

I want to apply a watermark type image on the report but want to change it dependant on the state of the document content i.e. if i had a function that returned a string of "Draft" i would want to apply the Draft image to the whole report likewise if the function returned "Approved" i would want to apply the Approved image instead?

Is this possible ? if so could someone explain how to achieve this. If this isnt possible is there any work arounds ?

Thanks

Hi

I have a very simple question : Is it possible to change the value of the label on the X Axis. In fact, what I want is to replace the number under the bar (bar chart) by a date (Look the attached file to see what I mean)? For me, it seem that it should be possible and really easy to do, but I look in the doc and it seem that only number can be set to the X axis label. So, is it right or is it a way to do what I want ?

Thank you,
David

I have a report containing in section detail chart. If it is rendered to PDF (programmatically) all ok.

I have a ReporViewer and a bunch of reports.  There are a couple reports where I don't want the toolbar visible. (reportViewer.ToolbarVisible = false).  When switching reports in code, I can set the visibility of the toolbar just fine. But I can't figure out how to set the visibility when switching reports using either the navigation buttons (forward/back) or when a report is viewed by clicking on a link (textbox with Navigate action) in another report.

Is there a way to set the ReportViewer's ToolbarVisibility from within a report?  Or is there an event in the ReportViewer that fires when the Report property is changed?

Thanks,
Justin

I have a report that takes a single parameter and uses that in an ObjectDataSource to query data for the report. I would like to embed that report in the detail section of a master report, which accepts an array of int's as a multivalue parameter. Each element of the parameter array would be passed to the subreport. That way I would get a set of pages, each a subreport. I haven't found an example of how to set this up. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but when I set my query programatically, it's not seeing @myParameter is passed into the DataSource.

On the datasource on my designer, I'm making the parameter as a string and hardcoding it for debugging.  But when I my query runs, the @myParameter passed in is blank.

I'm using a binding on the report on the DataSource and send it to:

 

 

public static SqlDataSource ChangeConnectionString(object reportItem, int zoneNo)

 

{


dataSource.SelectCommand = ...the query with my parameter



I set the connection and the query string.  The query string works fine, if I take away the @myParameter.

I have another report where I do the same thing and it's working fine.  Everything looks the same, but one sets the parameter in the query and the other doesn't.  Anything I should do to debug?  It's really hard because I can't put breakpoints in the code behind.
