I am doing report where I need to operate with values that have about 3 decimal points, so like 0,001in . But problem is I can only set value with max precision of 0,02in. And I have no idea how to increase precision up to  0,001in.

We are currently evaluating the Telerik reporting tools for our Silverlight application. Thus, I want to share my experiences with the community and ask some questions about potentially missing features.

Scenario / Problem : We need a component to print the content of a telerik schedule view component which is holding an overview of employee's vacancies. Therefore, we thought that the Gantt chart report perfectly fits our needs. However, I didn't manage to transfere the data in the schedule view to the Gantt diagramm. The main reason is that the Gantt diagramm cannot show several timeslots alligned horizontally or am I mistaken? I couldn't find any example or entry in this forum dealing with this. We can add a second series to a chart, but this will not allign horizontally. In the end, the chart appears like a horizontal bar chart rather than a real Gantt chart.
This disqualifies the reporting components for our project. Another (minor) drawaback is that there is not end-user report designer (Well, I knew this before, since it is written in the "known limitations" section)

Are there any plans to improve the Gannt chart or implement a scheduler reporting item in the future? I can imagine that the main reason against changing the gantt chart is the compatibility between the chart types. However, this is limiting the Gantt chart to a degree where it gets useless for most applications in my oppinion.

Footnote: During our evaluation we had the problem that no chart was generate, but all other elements were rendered correctly. After several ours we figured out that the configuration of the WCF web service was not correct. It would have saved us a lot of time if there were an exception at this point or something else which point developers to the source of this problem.

I installed the (fully purchased) product and cannot get it to function properly.

Environment: Windows 7 32 bit SP 1, VS2010 SP 1

I downloaded and installed Telerik_Reporting_Q2_2011_v5_1_11_713_dev.msi. VS was not open (nothing was open).

Keep in mind that my client insists on using Visual Basic.net if that makes any difference.

Issues: Can not use the Entity Framework DAL/BLL. I started the Report wizard and when I attempted to create the data source I got a target of an invocation error (which tells me it has something to do with reflection but gives no other information).

I then decided to follow the documentation more precisely and created Class Library project. In the report wizard, when I define the Entity Data Source I get another error, this time it doesn't say anything about "target of an invocation", in fact it says nothing at all. I get an error window popup that is completely empty.

So I give up on Entity Data for the time being and decide to use a SQL data source and I query a View. YAY, success! I make it to the report designer! And this is when I notice that there is no Telerik menu item in Visual Studio. And items are missing from the reporting toolbox.

I go through your Forums and see that others have had the same issue. The answer was to uninstall and re-install or repair. I just attempted the repair option and it didn't work. Now I am trying uninstall and re-install.

My fingers are crossed. If this doesn't work, I think I'm tired of Telerik reporting and will try to convince my client to attempt to get a refund. I have used Telerik controls in the past with success, but this one is really turning out to be a pain in the butt.

After the uninstall, my browser took me to a page on the Telerik site to ask why I was un-installing. I wrote the above and submitted and the site gave me an error "There is something wrong with our server."

Oh great!

Hi,

I currently have a Report with a table which is binded from an IQueryable DataSource. This table only contains a couple small fields and takes up only half the width of an 8"x11" page when in portrait orientation. However, the reports I will be generating will over-fill this table and push the report to two pages. 

To keep everything on one page, I would like to put an identical table beside the initial one in parallel. I've shown this in the attached image.

Is there a way to extend the data onto the second table if it fills past a set amount of records? I could try attaching the DataSource to both grids, but then I would have identical information in both, and the report would still have potential to extend to a second page.

Thanks,

Landon 

Can you explain how to hide and show an  image using check box in reporting.

Is is possible to access ReportParameters in bindings?  I am trying to avoid adding a column to my dataset with a single value, but am having some difficulties.

I have a function
    Public Shared Function GetStarValue(ByVal _Metric As Double, ByVal _ValType As Int32) As String
        If _ValType = -1 Then 
            Return "*"
        Else
            Return CStr(FormatNumber(_Metric, 1))
        End If
    End Function

Called via a binding for a textbox works fine:
=GetStarValue(cdbl(Fields.MyScore), -1)

this does not
=GetStarValue(cdbl(Fields.MyScore), cint(ReportParameters(1).Value))

debug Textbox on the page populated with the following correctly shows -1 so the value is available:
 TextBox5.Value = ReportParameters(1).Value

Error is:
An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'TextBox1':
The expression contains undefined function call ReportParameters().

Is it possible to access parameters in this way, if not, any alternatives other than adding 1000 rows of "-1" to my dataset?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to know if Smartlabels for radchart can be cusomized and how.

In the image attcehd with the post, i would like to have backgoround of the lables as trasparent (Currently it is showing the color of the bar as the backgoround color of the labels) and the label's text in black bolor (which is white in the image). I m using smartlabels precisely to avoid overlapping of the lables on one another.

Any help/work-around would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a report that uses ObjectDataSources, and is displayed in an ASP.Net application.
The report shows a list of objects, and there is a sub report for each object.

The datasource method for the sub report retrieves 2 lists (List A and List B) from the database, and converts the 2 lists into 1 list (which is returned as the datasource of the sub report)   List A is specific to each sub report, but List B will be the same for every sub report.

For better performance, is there a way to only retrieve List B once, and somehow pass it the sub report's datasource method, so it doesn't have to retrieve it for every sub report?

My first thought is to store List B in a static variable - but since the report is in an ASP.Net application, the variable would be shared between all sessions correct? (List B will be different for different clients)

Is there any solution for this senario? Let me know if you need me to explain it better.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

I'm running a report viewer in WPF.  My screen has a dropdown list of reports, two datepickers, and a refresh button.  The user selects a report from the dropdown, selects the date range, and hits the refresh button to generate the report.

I have found that when the refresh button is clicked, the report viewer will immediately say "The Operation was Canceled".  This message will last until the report is actually generated.

In the code behind for the refresh button, we take the selected report and give it a data source based on some internal methods to actually put the data together.  Then we set the reportviewer's report to the report that we are generating, and then fire off the RefreshReport method.


Did I miss a step here that is causing this message to show up?  I saw a reference in an old thread to the message and it said that it would be fixed in one of last year's builds.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
I am having an issue exporting to CSV.
I understand there are some restrictions when printing to CSV, but the issue I have run into seems to be more of a bug.

I have a Report where Reports Items have Sub-Reports.

When exporting to CSV the only Report Items that get exported are items that have Sub Reports.

So if a Report Item does not have data in the Sub Report, the Main Report Item will not get exported.

 I have attached a screen shot displaying the issue.

Is there any suggestions or work-arounds to get the Main Report Item to print when the Sub Report Item is null?

Thanks in advance,
RyanZ
