UserFunctions: nuget package for Telerik.Reporting.dll?

[joshblair]

Hello,

Note: I'm brand-new to Telerik Reporting development. 

 

I am trying to build a user function that our report builders can use when building reports to do some special formatting, timezone handling, etc. This assembly that I am building will need to be deployed/installed on the report server that is running Telerik Reporting Server so that our report builders can leverage the new functionality provided by my assembly containing the custom user functions.

 

I am trying to figure out how to give my new class library project access to the Telerik.Reporting.Expressions namespace. Specifically, I need Telerik.Reporting.Expressions.FunctionAttribute and some other custom attributes.

 

Namespace:  Telerik.Reporting.Expressions
Assembly:  Telerik.Reporting (in Telerik.Reporting.dll)

 

Thanks!

Hello Josh,

You would need to add Telerik.Reporting reference in your class library either as DLL that is available in Telerik Reporting installation Bin directory or as NuGet package available in Telerik private NuGet repository.

Then you need to import the Telerik.Reporting.Expressions namespace:

using Telerik.Reporting.Expressions

Finally, you would need to extend the report engine of the Report Server. Check this article to see how to do it: How to configure Telerik Report Server to use reports with custom functions.
