Hi.
I am trying to create reports with webforms.
I have several questions:
Is it possible to add my own custom buttons in the toolbar?
Is it possible to add my own custom export format?
Is it possible to change text for the different items in the toolbar?
Is it possible to create dynamic rdlc on the fly?
I have been testing reportviewer with VS2005.

Many thanks in advance.
Michael

Hello Michael Ha,
The Telerik Reporting is not that similar to Microsoft SQL Server Report Services and their report viewers. It does not use RDL nor RDLC but has its own report engine, winforms and web viewer controls, and a report definition as a .NET object.
To use the Telerik Reporting in a web application we strongly recommend you to use the Web Application project instead of the Web Site project. We think that this will be easier for you.
The current version of the report viewers (both win and web) don't allow you to modify the report viewer toolbar. The case with the export formats is similar -- as of now you cannot add your own extension even we have plans to make it possible soon in the next version.
Sincerely yours,

'...The case with the export formats is similar -- as of now you cannot add your own extension ...'
Ups, that's a master issue, because one of the most needed output formats "Word" is in the current version not supported... so I belive it would be fair if you would change your product page where "custom export formats" is descripted as sales feature...

Hi Tom,
The Telerik Reporting pages have been updated about two weeks ago to reflect this change. Honestly speaking, we were hoping to have time and include Word and Excel support for the official version, however we did not manage to include this feature.
Is it possible that you have noticed a mention of this on another place on our website, may be in the documentation? If so, please let us know and we will gladly update it right away. We do not want to provide misleading information about our products.

Rob

The easiest way to generate a simple RDLC from a dataset is transform the schema xml into the RDLC.
The basic idea is to build rather generic RLDC file off a DataSet. You can then bind both the DataSet and the RDLC to a ReportViewer control and get your report. I generate the RDLC by transforming the DataSet XML schema into a RDLC file via and XSLT transform.
Here is a website showing the C# code and the XSLT...
