I'm currently using the Chart component in a report, and I need my title to contain 3 different pieces of information.  And, I would like that information formatter in a way where each piece is differentiated.  In this particular case, I have the following pieces of information:
1.  Type of Analysis Being Performed
2.  Filters being applied to data before it's analyzed.
3.  Comparison indices

Right now, I have all of that information in the title of the chart, undifferentiated.  It seems that the Text formatting is all or none, so I don't see a way to differentiate.  I did find that I could turn off word wrap and added new lines.  This would work except that I still need word-wrap to endure that the text doesn't go off the end.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a problem with buiding a bar chart as it shown in the attached image.
I used the code which was supported in the thread http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/reporting/telerik-reporting/setting-bar-chart-bar-color.aspx. But As you can see in the attched image I need to set two bars (maybe more) for each X value.

Plaese, I need your help,
It is appreciated to send me a modified code.

Regards,
Bader

Hello,

I have a Microsoft SQL Server database table with a field defined as a Char(10).  When I define a filter to use this field, the filter doesn't seem to work.  I can filter on any of the nvarchar() type fields but just not this Char(10) field.

The value in the database table is IHOPC491.  When filtering on this field, I've attempted to use various operators including = and like -- but no joy.

I'm using the Telerik.Reporting.SqlDataSource data connector.

Any thoughts on what I might do to get around this problem?

Thanks!

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

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.
