PROBLEM
One cannot use the report name or specify a default file name when exporting from the Silverlight report viewer.

SOLUTION
By design the Report.DocumentName property is used as a default file name for all exported files from the Telerik report viewers. However in Silverlight the SaveFileDialog.DefaultFileName setting is treated as security vulnerability. Thus the DefaultFileName is only applied for trusted applications. For more information: Microsoft Connect.
