VB Report Template

[Jason Burch]

After installing the beta for Reporting I've noticed that there is a Report template for C# but not one for VB.NET.

It would be great to have this added.

Thanks

Actually I just converted the telerikreport.cs to vb.net

Code Begins Here!

            Me.Font.Name = "Tahoma"
            Me.Font.Size = New Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(12.0F, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Point)
            Me.Items.AddRange(New Telerik.Reporting.ReportItemBase() {Me.pageHeader, Me.detail, Me.pageFooter})

Great job, Jason!

As you know this first ever release of the telerik Reporting Tool and it is a CTP. As with all the other product that telerik is offering we will provide complete set Visual Basic .NET and C# examples in the near future, and Visual Studio 2005 item templates for the 1st Beta version, due in January. The reason we usually write the examples in C# first is because our products are developed in C#, which is our preferred programming language.
 
Thank you for the feedback and the support, much appreciated.
 

Kind regards,

Just tried the vb template posted here and it worked after i removed a few font things from it. How do you add something into the Data Explorer Data Source. As its saying No Data Source.  So I cant add something to report on....

Hello Chris,

I guess that you've tried the VB templates with the CTP2 where we've made some changes to the Report API and currently there is no such property as ReportItemBase.Font. Instead you should consider using ReportItemBase.Style.Font. The Data Explorer tool window shows the available fields of the report data source and let you easily create bound items with drag and drop of a field from the Data Explorer to the designer surface. This tool window requires that you have set a valid data source and the initialization code is inside the report's InitializeComponent method (the only method that VS respects in design time).
 

Best wishes,

I just downloaded reports how do you get it to work with VB.net?

The help sections on the site do not seem to help at all?

I was hoping this product would change me from Crystal Reports any suggestions?
