I'm trying to build a report programmatically due to the complexity and dynamic nature of the requirement I am faced with.
The best way I can think is to have one 'shell' report that composes many different child reports.

However when I just try to do a light version of the above with a simple (not data-bound) child report that just prints 'hello world!' I get nothing rendered out. When I run the Child report on it's own I receive the expected results.

Below is my code for the shell report

private Telerik.Reporting.Report Build()

{

Telerik.Reporting.Report mainReport = new Telerik.Reporting.Report();

Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection detail = new Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection();

mainReport.Items.Add(detail);

Unit unitX = Unit.Inch(0.1);

Unit unitY = Unit.Inch(0.1);

SizeU size = new SizeU(Unit.Inch(1), Unit.Inch(0.5));

List<Telerik.Reporting.Report> childrenReports = new List<Telerik.Reporting.Report>();

ExecutiveSummarySection executiveSummary = new ExecutiveSummarySection();

childrenReports.Add(executiveSummary);

foreach (Telerik.Reporting.Report child in childrenReports)

{

Telerik.Reporting.SubReport sub = new Telerik.Reporting.SubReport

{

Location = new PointU(unitX, unitY),

Size = size

};

unitY = unitY.Add(Unit.Inch(1));

Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource childInstanceReportSource = new InstanceReportSource();

childInstanceReportSource.ReportDocument = child;

sub.ReportSource = childInstanceReportSource;

detail.Items.Add(sub);

}

detail.Height = Unit.Inch(childrenReports.Count + 2D);

return mainReport;

//return executiveSummary;

}

and the 'ExecutiveSumarySection' report:

using AGP.Data.Repositories;

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using Telerik.Reporting;

using Telerik.Reporting.Drawing;

public class ExecutiveSummarySection : Report

{

{

//DataBindControls();

}

{

//going to data bind later to EF5 backed repository

//ModelContextUnitOfWork uow = new ModelContextUnitOfWork();

//DocumentEFRepository docRepo = new DocumentEFRepository(uow);

//this.DataSource = docRepo.All.ToList();

}

#region Component Designer generated code

this.textBox1.Value = "Hello World!";

this.PageSettings.PaperKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.Letter;

this.Style.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

styleRule1.Selectors.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.ISelector[] {

this.Width = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(6D);

}

#endregion

private Telerik.Reporting.PageHeaderSection pageHeaderSection1;

private Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection detail;

private Panel panel1;

private TextBox textBox1;

private Telerik.Reporting.PageFooterSection pageFooterSection1;

}

Not totally sure what I'm doing wrong here but I was following many similar examples provided in the forums by Telerik Reporting team on doing this type of report.
