In my report, there is a Table with one group and PageBreak set to After for the group. If the property ColumnHeadersPrintOnEveryPage is with the default value False, in Interactive view there are three pages generated, one for each group, which is correct.

If I set ColumnHeadersPrintOnEveryPage to True, the number of pages increases to four in the Interactive view mode. There is an additional page break introduced in the last group.

In organizations like ours, it is not allowed to store the user id and password in appsettings.json. It is becoming a common practice to use AccessToken in the connection string rather than a username and password. For example, in Azure. It would be great if AccessToken could be supported out of the box in the SqlDataSource.

Hello,

I am working on Blazor reporting project and I have described the situation already in this post:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/report-viewer-and-web-designer-in-blazor#zGr6FO2mDEmkfLWIP_T_9A

To sum it up:

Please add .NET 5 js/css isolation to Blazor ReportViewer which will allow:

  • usage of more report viewers with different report engine services during the application lifetime (current design requires to load js/css globally from single report engine service and the js cannot be unloaded because it is not isolated in a module)
  • simpler usage of the viewer which should just require to set ServiceUrl and the js/css would be managed by the component itself

Currently when the report starts loading, the viewer clears all of its areas and shows a series of notification messages that specifies the current stage of the report loading workflow. The report viewer areas are populated again when the first page of the report is displayed in the report viewer. 
In a scenario where the report needs a lot of time to load this behavior is not optimal. In such case the report viewer areas should not be cleared until the first page of the new report is prepared to be displayed in the viewer. The developers should be able to configure the loading behavior and notification message appearance through the report viewer options. The viewer's API should also provide event handlers for these events, so the developers can have more control over the page displaying process.

It is not possible to directly access multiple data sources using expressions in a single section or object. I would like to be able to define multiple data sources on a report and then bind textboxes to the data sources using a formula such as "=First("DataSourceName","FieldName")", which would bind to field FieldName in the first record of datasource DataSourceName, regardless of the datasource assigned to the table, list, etc.  We should be able to reference fields from multiple datasources in a single table, at least when using aggregates that return one value, such as Min, Max, First, Last, Sum, etc.

There are multiple small visual defects when using the npm packages @progress/kendo-theme-default or -material:
- Toolbar glyphs are not centered
- Export submenu appears to the far left side.
- Toast messages for Loading/Done have no background and so interfere with report data.
- All report data is offset when using material theme.

To store reports, the Web Report Designer offers FileDefinitionStorage as an out-of-the-box solution for the DefinitionStorage. this FileDefinitionStorage does not support relative paths or sub-directories.

While the UriReportSourceResolver, which is used in the REST Service for rendering reports, does support sub-directories. These two services will often be used together, and for this reason, should behave consistently.

Hi Telerik Team,

 

I am using telerik reporting watermark to put some "design" in our report template for all the pages, but a small image with a size of 50kb as watermark generates additional 200-300MB of memory usage during the rendering of the report.

 

Please reduce the memory consumption since this behavior limits the number of user that can access the report simultaneously

 

Thanks

Release R3 2021 SP1

Ways to reproduce the problem:


1. Create simple one table one column report, with right horizontal text alignment in the column.

2. Set a data source with multiple rows, with different lengths for the string, displayed in the table's column.

3. Render the report under Windows and under Linux - the column text on different rows will not be aligned properly on linux, but will be shifted to the left or right depending on string's contents and length.

I've done a bit reserch on PDF rendering, concerning libgdiplus "MeasureString" method deficiencies, and here's what I discovered so far:

1. The source of the problem is the fact that libgdiplus ends up using cairo to measure string glyphs, and it does it's font metric in whole pixels (integer), using the DPI of the context it is called in. In short, if the context is using 96DPI, cairo will use these 96DPI to calculate (and round) the font metrics, and to write strings eventually.

2. When libgdiplus is compiled to use pango, the problem is much smaller (several millimeter differences become part of the millimeter), because internally pango scales the measurement 1024 times, but it appears that this is not enough to resolve the problem.

3. When using libgdiplus (with or without pango inbetween it and cairo) for both "DrawString" and "MeasureString", everything is perfect, but the fundamental problem in Relerik Reporting to PDF is that it renders in a vector format, but uses text metering for pixel format - it uses System.Graphics.MeasureString which is a DPI vased metering (on Linux at least) but uses proprietary "PdfRenderer.DrawString" of the "PdfRendered" class, not the native Graphics.DrawString. Since cairo rounds every character glyph metrics to an integer value, the longer the string is, the larger the discrepancy will be between string rendering when PDF is viewed (based on floats/doubles) and Graphics.MeasureString (based on integers, at least on Linux).

Ways to resolve the issue:

1. The best way to resolve the issue is not to call Graphics.MeasureString at all, when rendering to vector based format, because it measures string based on the DPI on graphics context it is in. In other words, proprietary "PdfRenderer.MeasureString" must be  implemented, which works with font glyphs directly, entirely using single or double precision math to calculate glyph dimensions and string dimensions.

2. Another, not so perfect, but HUGELY EASIER way is to set DPI of the rendering context of the PDF to a higher value, here's how:

For the moment, PdfContext's constructor looks like this
public PdfContext(string ownerPassword, string userPassword)
{
            this.dataFormatter = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ownerPassword) ?
                                    new DataFormatter() :
                                    new DataFormatterEncypted(ownerPassword, userPassword);

            this.bmp = new Bitmap(1, 1);
            this.graphics = Graphics.FromImage(this.bmp);
            this.hdc = this.graphics.GetHdc();
            this.pdfFontCache = new PdfFontCache();
 }
This creates a Graphics object, based on a Bitmap with default system's DPI, which is usually 96DPI, or somethiong around this. So, all rendering metrics are callulated for 96DPI, so there will ALWAYS be a discrepancy between PDF's real rendering (when viewed with a reader), and Telerik reporting engine's calculations.

So, a simple way to get around this is to use higer DPI Graphics object, like this:

public PdfContext(string ownerPassword, string userPassword)
{
    this.dataFormatter = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ownerPassword) ?
                            new DataFormatter() :
                            new DataFormatterEncypted(ownerPassword, userPassword);

    this.bmp = new Bitmap(1, 1);
    bmp.SetResolution(9600, 9600); //ADDED
    this.graphics = Graphics.FromImage(this.bmp);
    this.hdc = this.graphics.GetHdc();
    this.pdfFontCache = new PdfFontCache();
}
This makes the discrepancy 100 times lower, and in most cases practically invisible.

3. Another, more or less simple way to get around this, is to multiply font size and layout metrics by some number (I personally tried 16, 32, 128 and 256) before calling Graphics.MeasureString(), and dividing the result of the call by the same number after calling it. From my experience, 16 makes things MUCH better, and 128 is maybe enough to resolve 99.99% of the cases.

Attached is the result when rendered without multiplication (Linux-Orig.png) and when font size and layout methrics are multiplied by 128 before calling "MeasureString", and dividing the result by 128 afterwards (Linux-MultipliedBy128.png). On Windows the result looks exactly like the the corrected rendering on the "Linux-MultipliedBy128.png.
