Telerik Reports in Telerik Platform

[Shankar]

Is the Telerik Reports and Report Server part of the Telerik Platform ?

How does one generate Reports using the Telerik Platform

Hello Shankar,

The Telerik Platform offering does not include Telerik Reporting. Telerik Reporting can be purchased separately or as a part of the Telerik DevCraft bundle.

Thus said, Telerik Platform does not have a dedicated reporting solution. However, Telerik Reporting offers various Data Source Components for connecting your reports to data. One of the more versatile components is the ObjectDataSource component. It enables you to work with business objects or other classes and allows you to create reports that display data from the middle-tier. For example, you can use this data source component to supply cloud data from Telerik Backend Services (e.g. from the backend provider of Telerik Platform) to a report. For more information and examples about how to use the component, please refer to the ObjectDataSource Component and ObjectDataSource How-To help articles.

Let me know if you have further questions.
