I have a calculated field of type Decimal where I may dynamically return 0 in some of the rows of data.
If this happens with the first data row, it will not respect the selected data type and will instead infer that the type of data is an integer.
If I use this calculated field in an aggregate function such as Sum(), since the type of the first value will be integer, it will treat the other values as integers as well and the total sum will be incorrectly aggregated.
I export the same TRDP report that embeds a Bitmap image on Windows with GDI and on Linux Docker Container.
The result PDF file from the Linux environment is much bigger than the one generated on Windows.
It would be very convenient if we could just right-click on a calculated field, such as "Period" in the screenshot below, and be able to modify the existing expression (within a context window)
Instead, I now have to do the following:
1. Click on the Data Source
2. Click on the ellipses button within the "Calculated Fields" property of the Data Source's properties
3. Find the desired expression within the "Edit Calculated Fields" window
4. Click on the expression's drop-down and select <Expression>
That's a lot of clicks for something that is done rather frequently!
Currently, to customize the report engine, for example to add some custom user functions, we have to either use the app config or provide a IConfiguration to ReportProcessor constructor, which seems to set a static field for all reports, and on top of that we have to provide a whole assembly (which will load ALL non-private static methods, I did try to use typereferences instead of assemblyReferences, but that doesn't seem to work for custom functions).
Meanwhile all we needed was to expose a handful of functions. Our current workaround is to have a whole assembly dedicated to that.
It'd good to be able to:
- Specify either a single class or individual methods through the library API (e.g. reportProcessor.AddCustomFunction("name", (arg) => ...); or reportProcessor.AddCustomFunctions(typeof(MyCustomFunctions);)
- Avoid using static state (it limits how the library can be used and, more importantly, tested)
- Maybe have a way to provide a Service Provider, that Telerik library would use to create services/classes and pull IConfiguration from, especially those we provide, that way the custom functions could use services from our application, rather than using all static methods.
Thank you,
When trying to duplex print a report that has odd page numbers, the next report's first page prints on the back of the previous report. We need the ability to conditionally insert a page break based on whether the report's (the group's) page count is odd or even. Since we don't have access to the global pagecount variable outside the footer, there is no way to use it to insert a page break into the body of the report. This seems like it would be such a common need with the desire by many to save paper that it would be an obvious feature to include in the product. Thanks.
In the Standalone Report Designer, collection editors, such as the ReportParameter Collection Editor, do not show the context menu when a property is right-clicked, and resetting property values through such windows is not possible.
The Properties window of the designer illustrates the expected behavior.
Is there a way to have the linear gauge display a value above the indicator?
Currently, the desktop viewers don't allow adding custom headers to their requests to the service.
In HTML5-based web viewers, this is possible through the AjaxPrefilter event.
The Web Report Designer does not entirely comply with CSP standards, necessitating the use of the 'unsafe-eval' directive in our CSP policies to enable its functionality.
This directive poses significant security risks and undermines the purpose of implementing CSP in the first place. Please remove this requirement.
The Telerik Reporting REST Service storage is automatically cleaned based on some configurable timeouts and hardcoded times. It requires an awaken service to be performed.
It would be very useful for the developer to be able to invoke manually the storage cleaning functionality either with code or through the service Web API.
Currently, the Native Angular Report Viewer does not support NodeJS 22. It is restricted to v16-21 of NodeJS and I would have to downgrade to use it.
Old shortcuts(CTRL+INSERT: Copy, SHIFT+INSERT: Paste and SHIFT+DELETE: Cut) of cut/copy/paste don't work in Standalone Report Designer for elements.
When I try to open the edit dialog for a report parameter from the Report Explorer in the .NET Standalone Report Designer, the dialog does not open.
The same appoach works as expected with the .NET Framework Standalone Report Designer.
As an alternative for the .NET Standalone Report Designer, the second approach from the ReportParameter Collection Editor at a Glance - Telerik Reporting article may be used.
I have been forcing my webservice data source into a workable solution for making GraphQL requests. Right now in order for us to use GraphQL, we have to build out the request manually with a string such as the following:
{"query: "query GetSomeResult($input: Int!) {result {id name}}", "variables": "{"input": @parameter}" }
While this is a normal way to hand craft a GraphQL request, the issue I have is that it shouldn't need to be that hard. Also I get no intellisense or suggestion in regards to the data returning. This means that when I try to bind data to a text box, I have to visually validate that the [=Fields....] is actually correct by looking at the GraphQL query and at the code base. I would love to see the ability to to just say have a set of standard api technologies we could implement from such as GraphQL queries, GRPc queries, or any other contract style request. I would expect that the data source logic would be smart enough to parse the query (at least for GQL) and be able to provide reccomendations.
Also a major issue we have had is in being able to pass that data source to subReports, or dealing with any nested objects such as a user.address.addressLine1 would not be able to be found if address is a nested values like the following
user: { address: { addressLine1 } }
As of now the Reporting team provides only part of the source code - mostly the code that targets .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Please expose more of the code to your customers, like Telerik Reporting engine for .NET 6+ and corresponding REST WebAPI.
