Sample DDR

[Tom]

Hi,

Here is some sample code that ought to work (IMHO). Can you explain why it does not?

Thanks!!

Tom

        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds.Tables.Add();
        ds.Tables[0].Columns.Add("a");
        ds.Tables[0].Columns.Add("b");

        ds.Tables[0].Rows.Add("a1", "b1");
        ds.Tables[0].Rows.Add("a2", "b2");
        ds.Tables[0].Rows.Add("a3", "b3");

        Telerik.Reporting.TextBox tb = new Telerik.Reporting.TextBox();
        Report1 r = new Report1();


        r.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

        tb.CanGrow = true;
        tb.Value = "=a";
        tb.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(1.625, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.5, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
        tb.Name = "a";
        tb.Size = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.SizeU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(1.625, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.25, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
        tb.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
        r.Items.Add(tb);


        tb = new Telerik.Reporting.TextBox();
        tb.CanGrow = true;
        tb.Value = "=b";
        tb.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(3.625, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.5, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
        tb.Name = "b";
        tb.Size = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.SizeU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(1.625, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.25, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
        tb.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
        r.Items.Add(tb);

        telerik.Report = r;

Hi Tom,

The problem is that you are adding the TextBoxes directly to your report. What you should do is add the TextBoxes to the DetailSection (for example). You can create a simple report with the designer and explore the generated InitializeComponent method in order to see how items are added to sections and sections are added to the report.

For more information on creating reports, please review the provided documentation. We are certain that it will help you get started.

 
Sincerely yours,
