Hello
I have created a WPF report service in my web services solution but I cannot find anyway of connecting my WPF client using the ReportViewer to this service. The Silverlight equivalent has a ReportServiceUri property which I have used to test out my web services. Why doesn't the WPF control have the same properties? Is this something that is being added?
This is a bit of a show stopper for us as all our application is written in WPF. Is there an alternative method?
Would really appreciate any help you can give.
Regards
Steve

Hello Stephen,
Because the implementation of the WPF and Silverlight report viewers are not alike, there are a couple of solutions you can use.
You can check the examples provided with your installation and there you can find a WPF application which is using Telerik Reporting as embedded engine. The other approach is to use Reporting WCF service which wraps the ReportProcessor functionality and to create your own Client proxy in your WPF application.
If you're still having problems, please provide more information about your case in order to advise you accordingly.
Kind regards,

Many thanks for your suggestions Ivan. I am not sure how to create a client proxy for this though. Do you have an example I could look at?

Hello Stephen,
An IReportDocument type is needed in order for the WPF Report Viewer to generate a report, therefore the solution would be to use Telerik Reporting as an embedded engine. In the case when you are using a Telerik Reporting WCF service you can only get the rendered report as XAML and there is nobody to serve the resources.
So in this line of thoughts, you should take in consideration that you can use properly only formats with already embedded resources in the files(e.g. PDF and Image format). In order to use other formats you have to handle the resources for them.
About creating a client proxy for your project you can refer to the following "Getting Started Tutorial" tutorial and especially the "How to: Create a Windows Communication Foundation Client" help article.

Hi,
I already have a Silverlight Viewer using a WCF service for reporting. But, I want to use the same service to serve a ASP .net reporting viewer which is not being hosted in the same website as the SL application.
Is it possible?

Hi Iosu Buenetxea,
The Web Report Viewer uses an http handler to serve the report and corresponding resources and cannot utilize the WCF report service instead.

Does Telerik have plans to provide a WPF version of the ReportServiceClient ? Or does anyone have some sample code that accomplishes this?
