Hi there,

I've searched quite a bit and cannot find anything concerning server side paging for the reporting tool.  Does the reporting tool have any events (like radgrid) for supporting server side paging.  For example, we have huge reports that render in seconds if we can have SQL stored proc do the paging for us; however if we hook up the reporting tool to the whole dataset it will time out.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Tad

Hello Tad,

The paging of one report depends on several criteria: the data that displays, the report layout and the output format/media. The different output formats (HTML, PDF, Excel, etc.) have different paging rules that are described in more details in Design Considerations for Report Rendering help topic.

In Telerik Reporting the paging is handled by the report rendering extensions that are responsible for the generation the output documents and this usually happens after the report is populated with data which prevents us from paging the report data on the database server. For more information on how the reports are processed and rendered please see Report Life Cycle.

Kind regards,

okay, thanks for your reply.

I believe we'll have to stick with the radGrid for now then, because the time it takes the report to render is too long for large amounts of data.

Thank you,

Hello Tad,

The purpose of a reporting tool is not to specifically display large amounts of data and such a product can never take the place of good old grid control. Anyway we are going to work on a caching mechanism we currently lack, which would most definitely greatly improve the performance when working with large data (more info here).
