ability to tell if standalone report has any data
I have a Windows Form application that generates telerik reports from serialized .trdx files and sends them out to a set of users at a scheduled time based on user customization. This application queries a database for the serialized report definition, sets the data-source and applies filter and sort criteria that has been saved off to another database as defined by end users through a web application and then attached to an email. It would be helpful to be able to access a property or function within the report or report datasource object that would allow me to determine if the final generated report contained any data. This would allow me to skip sending an email for reports that contain no data. Currently, as per support, there is no way for me to find out if a generated report has data. 

"Unfortunately, reports do not expose any internal mechanisms that allow checking if any data is returned after the report is generated."

Hi Neil,

You could check our Report Server as it provides the requested functionality out of the box.  Please take a look at its documentation at the following link: http://docs.telerik.com/report-server/introduction
