Telerik Reporting Doubt: Tables

[Marcus]

Hello,


I'm new to the forum, but not new to Telerik. I work for a educational institute that been using telerik reporting for some months.
I have done a few Telerik Reports, but now i face a new problem. I have some Telerik Rad Grids over a Web Page, filled with some datas (Columns and Rows), and i need that information to be put in the Report.
What i did was to creat the same design as the grids on the Reporting, using HtmlTextBox and a Panel. For the grid header i used HtmlTextBox with a fixed Text value, one for each column. For the the data itself, the body from the grid, i used HtmlTextBox with {0} text value, one for each Column, and them, what i do is to put concatenated strings into that field. The Problem is that this gives me so much problem, and so many cases i have to deal with. I'm having to do all treatments on the strings using html, and its not working right.

What i would like to know, is if i can use a Table or Other element, that i can do programmatically a way to add each element on a Row and doesn't matter the text size or word size, the Report will fit it right, and then jump into another Row......

Can you help me out ?

Hello Marcus,

When you have to create a tabular layout in Telerik Reports, we recommend using the Table item, which is meant exactly for this purpose. You can find more information about it in the child articles of the referred section. Note that you should set a valid expression pointing to the database field for each textbox or other item you use in the table, as the Table would not autogenerate columns.

All the best,

I nearly did it with a table...

I set up a DataSet into my project, with the fields i wanted. Them i imported that DataSet into the Table, in the Telerik Reporting.
After that,  i used the table's dataSource in the code, to receive an object with strings, the strings were shown in the report correctly. But now i face i new problem.
I need somehow to put more than one strings into the in each field. I tryed to pass the object to the dataSource containing List of strings, but it wont show.....

What i'm suposed to do ?

Hello Marcus,

If you want to display 2 fields in the same textbox then simply using the expression:
=Fields.Field1 + Fields.Field2

If the object you receive is a List, then you have to use some item that supports data-binding (Table, Crosstab, List, SubReport). By using Bindings you can bind the DataSource property to the current DataObject (DataSource    =ReportItem.DataObject.FieldName) and then display the list as you would normally do.
