Saving and Loading report from a file

[Ninaad]

I am newbee to the Telerik reporting. I just downloaded and read through the best practices for architecting the solution. The best practice suggests me to organize the reports in to a class library and then use this library in the report viewing application. Instead i would like to organize the reports in a database. I was looking for a functionality where in I could save the report.cs file to an external file (for e.g XML based ) which, i could save in to the database and load from. I can even save the report.cs file in the database and create a lib at runtime. But wanted to know if a shortcut is available. Would appreciate help in this regard.

Hello Ninaad,

Telerik Reports are .NET classes compiled in a managed assembly. Unfortunately there is no out of the box support for XML definition of the reports. Anyway we have plans to enable the XML report definition in a subsequent release of Telerik Reporting.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Best wishes,

Hello Svetoslav,

Thanks a lot for resolving my query in real quick time. For now I will have to shove off the report.cs or the assembly file in to the database and use it later in my reporting application.
