Reports Access

[dave]

is it possible to use the reporting without having to create a reporting class and then reference it from within my web application?

i have tried adding a new telerik report item from within VS 2005, but that just gives me the code and not the designer.

there is good reason for me having to do it this way....

thanks in advance

Hello Dave,

Since Telerik Reporting Reports are .NET classes you should always use the Telerik.Reporting.Report class as base for your reports.

Regarding the other problem with the report designer - I guess you are using a Web Site project and add your reports to the App_Code folder which does not threat the components as objects that can be designed. This is the default Visual Studio behavior and the only possible workaround and the preferred solution is to use a separate class library project for your reports and reference it from the Web Site.

I hope this information helps.

All the best,

thanks for the reply....

well it looks like it is back to using html, etc for reporting as creating a separate class library and then referencing within my project will be a bit of a nightmare to develope/debug.

thanks anyway.....
