Make the Design-Time parameter values of the WebServiceDataSource editable through code

Make the Design-Time parameter values of the WebServiceDataSource editable through code.

Currently, the design-time values can be edited only by the report designers or by saving the report with the TRDX extension and editing the XML.

In the XML, to change the design-time values, you may edit the ParameterValues property which is a string.

Hello Glenn,

Currently, the available workaround to edit the design-time properties through code is if you were to serialize the report to XML (TRDX extension) and then edit the existing XML programmatically(or by hand).

Please refer to my answer in the How to set Design-Time values for web service datasource parameters programmatically? in Reporting | Telerik Forums thread for more details.

Editing the XML itself might not be an easy task so instead, I recommend looking into using other data source components such as the ObjectDataSource that will give you the freedom to configure every part as desired - ObjectDataSource Wizard - Telerik Reporting.

Scenario: We are creating the report via code and then allowing the user to modify the report.  We are creating a "web service" data source programmatically since this is too complex for the user. After that we expect the user to modify the report as they wish.

Problem: The web service data source API is missing one public property. I see no way of doing this currently with this problem.

Questions: How does anyone use the web report designer except to create a report from scratch or only to modify a report that was created previously?  If you have a work around for this, that would be greatly appreciated. Or if you can make this property public, that would fix it. This blocks our use case, so we are currently not using the web report designer until we find a workaround.

Hi Dimitar,

Can you comment on the issue we are facing contacting for the FA program? Is it supposed to take so long?

Thanks,

Hi Dimitar,

We have already contacted with Telerik (as Feature Acceleration Program) to increase priority of the feature Provide a way to send additional parameters from web designer (telerik.com), but we didn't get respond from Telerik (within 48 hours).

I'm interested to use Feature Acceleration Program. Would you help to start the process?

Thanks,

Hi Tursunkhuja,

The feature is not in our immediate plans, you may check what we are currently working on at Roadmaps for Telerik Reporting – Telerik & Kendo UI Roadmaps.

With that being said, if you need a feature or fix implemented sooner than our roadmap implies, there is a separate service that we might be able to offer - we call it the Feature Acceleration Program, and the idea is to let you negotiate a deal with our management for the implementation of said feature/bug in a given timeframe and to even influence the specification. If you would be interested in that, let me know so I can start the process for you.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Dimitar

Hi Dimitar,

It'd be nice if it will be implemented ASAP. There is an issue in Web report designer. If the Design-Time parameter values of the WebServiceDataSource are blank then web report designer shows this error: "An error occurred while loading the data schema for "webServiceDataSource1": Could not parse JSON data returned from the service: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: }. Path '$select', line 1, position 19."

You can find the demo report file from the attached archive.

 

We can fix this issue if we can programmatically set Design-time values (in this case this feature request is prerequisite). Is there any workaround to fix this issue?

Thanks,
