Hi,

1. I want to have a Smart Part with Telerik Reporting in it.

2. Secondly is that it is N-Tier Architecture following the style of having a dll specifically for report design and another project to design the reportviewer.

3. Thirdly is that I want to write my own sql and use the datasource from my web.config in wss. However, in terms of designing how the report look like in terms of maybe the grouping, where the data is put and how, color scheme etc.., I want to design using the drag and drop rather than programatically.

How can I accomplish all this? Is there a sample that I can refer to or other resources?

Hello Eugene,

Our Reporting offering is a standard .NET class, so all "rules" that apply to normal classes apply in our case as well:
  • we do work in .ascx files. Simply place the Web ReportViewer in the user control, reference the class library in your project and bind it to the desired report.
  • this is how our Report is working. More info available in the Best Practices section.
  • this is exactly our goal - to allow you to create reports with ease without the need to be experienced programmer and create the report entirely with the use of our designer. Take a look at these help articles:
    • http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designingreportscreatereport.html
    • http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designingreportsplacingandsizingcontrols.html
Online examples with the Web ReportViewer are available here. For complete code and winforms examples as well, please install the examples that come as part of the Report offering locally.

Kind regards,
Steve
