we need to have complete End User Tutorial for Web Report Designer, where all the excel like features need to be demonstrated.

including Pivot etc.

Password-protected PDF documents generated with Telerik Reporting have blank pages when opened with an iPhone.

When I deploy the Angular HTML5 Report Viewer demo on Docker and build for production I receive the next error:

main.fa32b7794d384513.js:1 Uncaught Error: Invalid template:'<td class="#=data.cssClass#" role="gridcell"><a tabindex="-1" class="k-link" href="\#" data-#=data.ns#value="#=data.dateString#">#=data.value#</a></td>' Generated code:'var $kendoOutput, $kendoHtmlEncode = kendo.htmlEncode;$kendoOutput='<td class="'+(data.cssClass)+'" role="gridcell"><a tabindex="-1" class="k-link" href="#" data-'+(data.ns)+'value="'+(data.dateString)+'">'+(data.value)+'</a></td>';return $kendoOutput;'

When I remove the viewer from the project the problem disappears.

With the same 'Dockerfile' and 'nginx.conf' the Native Angular Report Viewer works as expected.

In the non-native angular report viewer we were using a customized template to change the order of the buttons and also to add custom buttons. We want to migrate to the Native Angular Report viewer but it lacks toolbar customization options. We need to be able to change the order and hide existing toolbar functions. Also we need the ability to define custom buttons with custom logic that executes when the button is pressed. 

I've tried to create a sub-class of the ReportingAngularViewerComponent and define a custom template for the toolbar, but the problem is that some of the core toolbar buttons (like zoom and pager) use custom local Telerik components that aren't exported from the ReportingAngularViewerModule, so I can't use those directly. 

It would be great if you can export all components used in the ReportingAngularViewerModule or provide an alternative way to customize the toolbar (may be similar to how you allow customization of the toolbar for the Editor control where users can define what toolbar commands are available, order them as they like and also define custom commands)

As an implementer, I sometimes need to trigger the Web Report Designer's commands programmatically. For example, saving the report definition when an external button is clicked.

Exposing an API for invoking the designer's commands would be of great help in implementing such functionality.

To preview/export localized reports in different languages, I change the thread's current culture in the report viewer's ExportBegin/RenderingBegin events and reset it back to the original culture in the ExportEnd/RenderingEnd events.

This approach works well in .NET Framework projects but in .NET Core projects, the culture is not reset properly.

Changing the culture in the events of the desktop report viewers should work both in .NET Framework and .NET Core projects.

The Upgrade Wizard for Visual Studio backs up all files, including those in the '.vs' folder. In Visual Studio 2017 this may cause errors when upgrading due to the locked file 'db.lock':

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\reportingagentuser\Desktop\reportlibrary1\ReportLibrary1\.vs\ReportLibrary1\v15\Server\sqlite3\db.lock' because it is being used by another process.

The current htmltextbox on the telerik reporter designer does not support html tags for <table>

There is a work around which creates the html text to an image but the quality is not great but more importantly the word wrap functionality is lost.

It would be great if the expressions were validated before leaving the expression editor rather than only finding out I missed a bracket ')' when running the report.

The Preview button of the HTML5 Report Viewer is not styled appropriately when using Kendo SASS themes:

.NET applications do not support rendering extensions like the XPS and MHTML rendering but the Reporting engine attempts to resolve them in such applications regardless.

There should be no attempts to resolve unsupported rendering extensions in .NET applications.

Currently the Webdesigner makes up to 6(?) and the Standalone Designer as much as it needs without(?) limit.

Especially the latter case can quickly lead to a lot of connections, saturating the max allowed connections of a sql server, which also leads to other services depending on a sql server connection to fail.

As far as I've seen, this only happens with Charts in Design mode.

So there are multiple ways to handle this:

• Being able to specify the max concurrent connections in the designer
• Make the usage of the DataSource more efficient by only loading the data once (like in the report viewer)
• Being able to turn off the chart preview in the Designer (By configuration, not with a user settable option)

See the attached report for a simple example:

It contains a single Datasource, which is a postgres query which simply waits 10s before returning the result.
After updating the DataSource to something which works for you and saving, simply reopen the report and see how many connections are opened in parallel.

Telerik Reporting supports various Barcodes.

It will be very useful if it also supports out-of-the-box Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

The blog RFID vs Barcode: Comparison, Advantages & Disadvantages elaborates on the difference between the Barcode and RFID and why the latter is preferred in some scenarios. 

Using the November 2023 Report Designer, when a resize a Panel and then press Ctrl-Z to undo the resize, all objects within the Panel are lost.

I was able to confirm this by saving as a second copy and then comparing the XML between them.

When the input data of a pie chart is such that some of the series are insignificant enough not to be drawn on the surface area, a DocumentRenderException with the message "The operation was canceled" is thrown by the Reporting engine.

Enlarging the pie chart or hiding/removing its data point labels clears the error. 

At the moment, a whole words are removed from text until it becomes short enough to fit in the text box, and this is the only available behaviour.

There should be an option to put ellipsis or clip the text to the textbox width instead (like CSS text-overflow "ellipsis" and "clip").

There's also an older discussion here:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/request-ability-to-show-an-ellipsis-in-a-text-box-when-the-text-overflows-the-available-space

I use HTML content like the below in an HtmlTextBox:

<a style="color: red" href="some link here">some text</a>

The color is not respected when I export to PPTX. The output color of the generated link is always the default blue. In the rest of the formats that support hyperlinks, the color is correct.

I tried to wrap the <a> tag also with <p> and <span> with the same color setting, to no avail.

I am using Kendo UI Spreadsheet control in our project to present Tabular contents that end user can easily modify just like a normal spreadsheet operations and I saved it in database using toJSON method provided by kendo spreadsheet.

When I will get the database driven JSON data from kendo spreadsheet as mentioned above,  I want to present it in Telerik Reporting using Table (Datasource of that Table will be from JSON data I saved earlier).

Currently there is no such feature available in Telerik Reporting and I would like to request that feature to be included in future release.

Thanks

I am using the Blazor Web Report Designer widget which when initialized, loads its theme based on the @progress/kendo-theme-default - npm (npmjs.com) theme and overrides the styles in my Blazor application. There is no way to disable the loading of the designer's theme and the application looks inconsistent as a result.
