When merging the ReportViewer's WPF theme dictionaries from the DLL in App.xaml, the VS2019 Designer fails due to a problem with a ZoomComboBoxStyle definition.

This causes all Telerik UI for WPF control's styles fail to load in the Visual Studio designer.

WORKAROUND

Instead of App.xaml, merge the ReportViewer's theme dictionary closer to the control.

For example in the ReportViewer's direct parent:

The problem is not getting the error via Dot Net programming, but the complete layout destruction of the report as a result of the fact that a picture (in our case a thumbnail of a provider) is unavailable. Catching the report error is not an option. It is too complicated and even if we succeed  in obtaining the error, it will be very complicated to remove the unavailable url on the fly and re-render the report again. 

This seems to be a "known issue" for about 8 years!

My question: Is it possible to keep the remaining report "intact" if such an error occurs? This shouldn't be too difficult for the development team..

Hello Telerik team!

In the attachment, there are two PDFs, generated by the same template (also in attachment): one built under Windows, another one - under Linux (Docker). See red boxes as defects on the screenshot:

Please help us to resolve these issues in Linux.

When you try to send the report through the SendMailMessage functionality but an exception is thrown, the report will disappear. If you click on Refresh and try again with fake data, the exception will be thrown but the report will remain. If you prefer to refresh it automatically, you can use the error event:

var viewer = $("#reportViewer1")
.telerik_ReportViewer({
    serviceUrl: "api/reports/",
    reportSource: {
        report: "Report Catalog.trdp",
    },
    error: function (e, args) {
        console.log("This event handler will be called after a page of the report is ready.");
        console.log("The error message is: " + args);
        viewer.refreshReport();
    },
    viewMode: telerikReportViewer.ViewModes.INTERACTIVE,
    scaleMode: telerikReportViewer.ScaleModes.SPECIFIC,
    scale: 1.0,
    enableAccessibility: false,
    sendEmail: { enabled: true }
}).data("telerik_ReportViewer");

running your https://demos.telerik.com/reporting in Chrome 77.0.3865.75, when trying to print the following error is returned:

Refused to execute script from 'https://p.adsymptotic.com/d/px/?_pid=16218&_psign=0aa5badf92527f7732e22463d6fa4dbc&coopa=0&gdpr=0&gdpr_consent=&_puuid=1ddd0495-ceb5-4cd4-b879-03f7c6be269b' because its MIME type ('image/gif') is not executable.

and nothing happens.

wasn't this fixed in your latest update?

is there a workable solution for this issue?

It would be very helpful for us people that have been using Telerik Reporting in Silverlight (or WPF) applications to have access to a Report Viewer for Windows Store Apps (XAML).  The future of Silverlight is unclear at least and there are many Line Of Business Applications currently running under Silverlight and I know of many developers that are looking to port their LOB apps to Windows Store Apps (or Universal Apps).  The current HTML5 Report Viewer does not provide printing when it is implemented in browser window in Windows Store Apps so we cannot really offer this option to our customers.

When the user confirms changing the chart type through the "Change Chart Type" dialog window, the graph designer does not get refreshed and still shows the old chart type.

Underneath the graph item is actually changed and if the report is previewed, the new graph layout will be displayed. The current workaround is to refresh the graph designer by changing one of its properties that cause full item refresh - Culture, Graph title, NoDataMessage, etc.

Hello, 

It would be nice to control the report loading animation during a report viewer refresh. We are refreshing a report every x seconds and it appears to be flickering during a refresh.

Thank you.

If a table-based item (Table, List, Crosstab) does not fit in a single page and needs to occupy more than one page, its bottom border is not drawn on the first page and its top border is not drawn on the second (subsequent) page. This behavior is by design and its purpose is to help the users visually distinguish the table as a single item. The table has only one top and bottom border and they are displayed at the beginning and at the end of the table, regardless how many pages the table actually occupies.

Since users might find this confusing, a table should have a property controlling this behavior. The default state of the property will preserve the current rendering. If the user explicitly sets the property, then the table will draw its top and bottom borders on every page it occupies.
