Hi,

   I need to format the crosstab. I need to change the background of the entire row (row & value field) based on the value of a field. How can it be done?

Thanks in advance.

Hello...

I am attempting to duplicate an Excel report that has a two row header with column spans within those two rows. All the header text is static.

In the detail, have have some rowspans and a few static text cells, the details ends up being 4 rows.

From reading through the docs, it looks as if I need to use a table to accomplish the two row header (I want this header to repeat at the top of each page as well).

I am also binding to an object data source. I have created a wrapper class to simplify binding. It is very similar to the docs using the Car and Cars classes. However, I just want bind my report to a System.Collections.Generic.List<Car> rather than making an unneeded Cars class. However, I run into problems getting my report and table to bind properly so that I can simply show the 4 row detail (remember 4 rows per bound item, this is due to horrible formatting in the original report, sort of a summary table approach for each item).

So, given that I have 8 items bound and lets say only one item fit on a page (due to the large multirow header), I would end up with 8 Pages. Table header on each page, followed by the bound report items (textboxes only) for the current item.

I hope that is a clear explanation of what Im trying to do... now for my questions. :-)

1. How do I set up DataBinding for the report and Table? I tried binding directly to the equivalent Car class and also setting that data source to the table, but that didn't work at all. It seems I have to create an equivalent Cars class to wrap the list only? Seems unneeded tho?

2. When I drag a table onto my report detail I get the standard 3 column table header and table detail. Once I started adding rows and columnns and then merging them, the table looked great but once I previewed, I started getting missing cells. Is there some sort of trick to getting cells added and merged so that they stay in the header? Things really started to get weird in the header when I added multiple rows, in the end, the only header cells that showed up were in the original header row, the row I added above refused to render. If I merged any cells to the top row of the header, the refused to render too.

I attached a screenshot of the report I am trying to make so you can see the messiness. The header is highlighted in Yellow and the bottom 4 rows are repeated *for each* bound item. In the photo, there are two bound items that would be shown in the 8 rows below the header. I had to blur it to protect the content somewhat, but it is still good for layout purposes.

thank you

When previewing a report I get the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'SqldataObject' to type 'Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Expressions.IHierarchicalData'

I have narrowed down the problem to a textbox that has

=Sum(Exec("group4",Fields.Amount1))

Any help is appreciated

Hello,

I'm using VS 2008 Q1 2010 Telerik Reporting

I'm attempting to set and bind a Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table inside of the Detail's detail_ItemDataBound event and I'm running into some trouble.

I currently have a simple table inside my Report's detail. The table has a header and a detail row that repeats.

Originally I was binding the table to a DataTable inside of the DataBind() and having no issues.  After having some trouble getting the table's groupings correct I decided it would be a little more practical move the Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table binding inside the detail_ItemDataBound event and bind it there with the correct data.  When I move the binding inside the detail_ItemDataBound event I get a blank table with no data.

Below is my code from the detail_ItemDataBound event:
private void detail_ItemDataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection detail = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection)sender;
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox txtHierarchicalEntityID = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox)detail.ChildElements.Find("txtHierarchicalEntityID", true)[0];
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table tblReport = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Table)detail.ChildElements.Find("tblReport", true)[0];
 
    int hierarchicalEntityID = Convert.ToInt32(txtHierarchicalEntityID.Text);
 
    dsReporting dsBindingData = new dsReporting();
 
    foreach (dsReporting.AssessmentResultsChartRow currRow in dsRaw.AssessmentResultsChart.Rows)
        if ((int)currRow["HierarchicalEntityID"] == hierarchicalEntityID)
            dsBindingData.AssessmentResultsChart.ImportRow(currRow);
 
    dsBindingData.AcceptChanges();
 
    tblReport.DataSource = dsBindingData.AssessmentResultsChart;
}

Am I missing anything simple that would keep the tblReport from binding correctly?

Thanks for the help and let me know if you need anything else,
Allen

I have a bar report that is using the NeedDataSource event to set the datasource and labels. On the initial report load the data is correct but the labels are just 1,2,3,... If I refresh the report I get the correct text labels (AUS Approved, AUS Declined,etc...). I have stepped through the code to verify that the dataset is being populated correctly on the initial load. However, when I get to the line of code that sets any of the series elements I get the following error message:"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index". I am trapping for any errors so the report will load with the correct data but no text for the labels. On a refresh I do not get the error and the label appear correctly. Here is the code for my NeedDataSource event:

private void chart1_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart procChart = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart;
              
            string sql = @"SELECT COUNT(l.[LookupID]) as 'AUSStatusCnt',l.[ClientLookupValue] as 'AUSStatus' 
                            FROM [AUS] a 
                            INNER JOIN [Organization] o ON a.[OrganizationID]=o.[OrganizationID] 
                            INNER JOIN [Lookup] l ON l.[LookupID] = a.[AUSStatusID] 
                            where  a.[AUSID] in ([dbo].[udf_GetLastAUSStatus](a.[AUSParentID])) 
                            AND a.[OrganizationID]=@OrganizationID AND l.[LookupTypeID]=13 
                            and l.[Active]=1 
                            AND a.[UpdatedByDate] >= DATEADD(d,-90,GETDATE())
                            GROUP BY l.ClientLookupValue,l.LookupID";
             
              
            SqlConnection sqlCnn = new SqlConnection();
            sqlCnn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["appConnString"].ConnectionString;
            try
            {
                DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlCnn);
                sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@OrganizationID",SqlDbType.Int);
                sqlCmd.Parameters["@OrganizationID"].Value = int.Parse(Report.ReportParameters["OrganizationID"].Value.ToString());
                SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlCmd);
                adapter.Fill(ds);
  
                procChart.DataSource = ds;
                chart1.Series[0].DataLabelsColumn = "AUSStatusCnt";
                chart1.Series[0].DataYColumn = "AUSStatusCnt";
                  
                chart1.Legend.Visible = false;
  
                chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn = "AUSStatus";
                chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = 0;
                chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Color = System.Drawing.Color.DarkSlateBlue;
                chart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Bottom = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.Unit.Percentage(20);
                chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10,FontStyle.Bold);
  
                  
  
                adapter.Dispose();
                sqlCmd.Dispose();
                sqlCnn.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error loading report! ");
            }
  }

Hello,

I know in a "detail" page of a report you can create a "loop". In my app I make each detail area show a ticket.
Right now my detail area fits 5 boxes- one on top of antoher.

Is it possible to make a detail area go both horizontal & verticle?
In .net webform this would like like setting a RadioGroup or TableView to repeat 2 columns wide and unlimited long.

Sample of what I'm trying to accomplish: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5752/10perpage.png

As you can see it loop 2 columns wide. If there's an odd number of rows the last column on the last row would be blank.

I'm having a problem with Page Breaks.

I have a MasterReport which is simply an empty report that contains a standard Header, Footer that I want to use on all reports and maintain in only one location.  The master report has a subreport object on it.

I then dynamically bind reports to the subreport at run time inside of the ASPX page.

When the reports are rendered and or exported the paging isn't honored.   If I just render the sub reports directly then the paging is done correctly.

I have the subreport inside the Detail Section on the Master Report(See reportexplorer.png).  The subreport has a subreport as well.  Its report explorer is shown as well.  I've also included images of the two renderings. The correct rendering is when the subreport is bound to the viewer directly.   the incorrect rendering is when the master is bound to the viewer.

Thanks

I'm wokring on an application for a client that wants some high res print media PDFs generated. I am trying to use telerik reports for this.

I have all my elements added to the report using cm so the elements will all fit correctly on the page. However when adding the images i have into picture boxes, I have them exported based on 300 dpi, and telerik reports seems to default to 96 dpi, so they do not fit in the designer. If i reduce them to 96 dpi the do fit but come of rat shit on the PDF and when printed (and yes i have read this article http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/09-01-07/the_strange_case_of_adobe_acrobat_or_why_do_images_in_telerik_reports_get_fuzzy_when_exported_to_pdf.aspx).

Can someone please tell me how to specific the pixels per inch/cm for telerik reports?

Thanks,

Joel
