Hi there,
is it possible to design reports using the Visual Studio Designer and then have these reports loaded and printed locally in a Silverlight component? My scenario is this: I have a Silverlight (SL 4) application. Users should be able to print content that they input in the application. Is this possible using the Telerik Reporting?
Best regards

Hello Klaus,
We have a designated Silverlight Report Viewer that serves the purpose of showing Telerik Reports in Silverlight applications. More information on using the Silverlight viewer and configuring the WCF service that is the communication interface between the client programs and the report server is available in the following articles:

Additionally we install Visual Studio examples along with the product which also has a Silverlight demo application which you can review.

Hello Steve,
thank you for your reply!
The scenario we have requires that the reports be generated on a Silverlight client without having a reporting component installed on the server. The data source for the reports will be POCO classes and not a DB server.
I have already made simple examples of reports using the classes RadDocument, Section, Paragraph, etc from the namespace Telerik.Windows.Documents. However I would like to use a Designer to layout the reports, while being able to use these on the silverlight client. Is it possible to use the designer for reports that will be generated on the client?

Hello Klaus,
You can't use data from the Silverlight client in Telerik Report, because the data is on the client, while the reports reside on the server. The remote access to the Telerik Reporting Engine is enabled through the Telerik Reporting Service which acts as a communication interface between the client programs and the report server.
