I've been using the RAD AJAX controls for many years.

I develop the project on my local machine (as IIS 7.5 web-site) and then copy to the client's live web-site with a standard FTP connection. I use the built-in Copy Website function within VS2010. Everything works slick,

Now, following your recommendations, I have had to add a class library to allow creation and editing of reports.

What is the recommended method for getting that class library to the production server?

I realize this might be a simple, elementary procedure that I am "supposed to know", but until now, just the web copy has been the most productive method of deployment. Therefore, I don't even know what search terms to use, so please give me a few hints to start.

Alternatively, I have found that I can create the reports, and when finished, copy them from the local class library to my App_Code directory, and with a few adjustments, run them on the production server. But at least deployment is simplified.

Does anybody else run into these complications?

Hi all,

I'm actually working with Entity Framework Code First (DB created from coded model), but believe that Telerik Reporting doesn't yet support this. Therefore, I've created myself an edmx file from the SQL database for this purpose.

When I create a new report, the wizard launches and I'm able to select a new Entity Data Source, select the connection created with the edmx file and the context. After that, I'm presented with the Choose an Object Context Member dialog, asking me to select a member of the object context that will return data. Unfortunately, I'm unsure as to what I should be selecting at this point. Say I have a model named Products. Right now, all I'm interested in is returning every product. How would I go about this? Selecting the Products model from the dialog and clicking Finish returns an "Exception has been thrown by the target of a invocation" error.

Any help much appreciated!

I created a simple report on three different machines, Windows 7 64bit, Win Vista 64bit and Windows XP 32 bit.  On each report I get the following message:

In preview my report look fine but when  i print the  report the margins (left and top)are missing and a field (3 red arrow) are also missing.

Any idea?

Thanks

I am experiencing issues while trying to add a EntityDataSource to a report:

Method 1:
1) Opened a new VS2010 project of "Class Library"
2) Added a new "Telerik Report Q1 2011" item to the project, and cancelled the Report Wizard
3) Added a new EntityDataSource from the toolbox
    a) On the "Choose Your Data Connection" screen, selected "Specifiy a new connection string" and added the following to connect to a simple database on my local installation of SQL 2008: (See attached picture "ConnectionString")
    b) Proceed to the "Save the Connection String" page, leaving the "Yes, save this connection string..." checkbox checked, I click "Next" and receive a "blank" VS2010 error. (See attachment "SaveError")

Method 2:
1) I cancel the wizard and remove the EntityDataSource item from the report
2) I add an ADO.NET Entity Model to the project - named "SL_Lab1" to match the database name.
3) I add a blank table "table1" into the body of the report.
4) I switch over to the code view and update the code behind.
5) Previewing the report gives me "The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid."
6) Add in the connection string
6) Build and Preview - same error.
7) Change ConnectionString to:
8) Build and Preview - same error.

I have tried this several times, with different databases and always receive an error.  Either the one above or "Unable to load the specified metadata resource".

Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

I have a textbox in my detail section that gets a value from a user function. I need to sum all of those textbox values in the report footer, but I can’t get it to work. Is there a way to use the SUM function on textbox values instead of data fields?

Hello, I have created a report to display it on a web page.  The data comes up fine but I am unable to find how to have the report fill the entire screen.

There seems to be no property to set the report to expand to 100% of the screen width.

I am using Q1 2011 and developing in VS 2010.

Please advise.

Thanks

Is it possible to use Telerik Reporting to render a report on the server and send it to a server attached printer ?

We would like to invoke that kind of feature from a web service trigger.

Thanks, Erik.

I would like to visualize bound dates...can you guys put together a calendar control I can bind a DateTime to which would render the selected Day\Month by any chance?

PITS?
