If you set the WinUI viewer's ViewMode to PrintPreivew in the XAML or the code, the toolbar button's state and value don't change. Hence, even though the report is displayed in PrintPreview, the button for switching the ViewMode is still showing 'Switch to PrintPreview' and is not highlighted. When you click it, the report is displayed in Interactive View, the button becomes highlighted and the tooltip states 'Switch to Interactive mode'.

Good afternoon,

As per support ticket 1650746, could I please request that Telerik reporting could one day work with minimal APIs as opposed to controllers?

There is also the dependency on Newtonsoft for the JSON side of things. Up until trying to implement reporting, I had removed the Newtonsoft nuget package and was trying to use System.Text instead throughout my project. Perhaps in time, it could be a bit more agnostic when it comes to the provider.

Many thanks,

Rawden.

When we add text with an Underlined font, it will be added as an extra embedded subset next to the same Normal/Bold font, which makes the files bigger.

This may be a major issue with large fonts such as Arial, as they get embedded twice in the PDF.

Text boxes formatted with the 'en-US' culture and '{0:C}' format do not use the correct currency negative pattern in .NET Core.

For example, a field with a value of -2.55 should be formatted to '($2.55)' but instead it is shown as ' -$2.55'

Hi Team,

I would like to request that the rotate CSS attribute be added to the HtmlTextBox. 

Thank you!

I would like to have truly bitwise operators for my expressions. Here is my scenario.

I have a bitwise flag in my dataset which defines the status of a value. It can have up to 15 possible values set as true in one field. The issue is, that there doesn't appear to be any way that I can perform a check in my expression.

 I don't want to add 15 additional columns to my dataset that explicitly set these as true as that's total overkill.

The Logical/Bitwise operators article details that there are "bitwise" operators, but these are logic only. This forum post confirms this.

When the latest Kendo UI version is used, the ellipsis in the Web Report Designer's Report Explorer tree are invisible, and the context menus of some report items cannot be opened.

For example, adding shared data sources to a report is not possible because this functionality is accessible through the context menu of the [Shared Data Sources] collection in the explorer tree.

Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

To work around the issue, use the 2022.3.913 Kendo UI version on the Web Report Designer page.

Telerik,

This is a feature request to add the ability to override a connection itself and not just the connection string.

The motivation behind this is for IAM based authentication, where usernames and passwords are no longer used but usernames and short lived tokens are.

Many database providers provide a Factory or Builder to allow a Connect to be built that allows the password to be requested when needed. In the case of Postgres, this is the NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder class.

I'm not sure what the contract would look like to achieve this, but setting the connection itself, one way, shape, or form, is greatly needed.

Thanks,

Shawn

When I enable accessibility in the Angular Report Viewer, based on the HTML5 Report Viewer, I get the following console error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '_controller')
at telerikReportViewer:1:15863
at Ce. (telerikReportViewer:1:16167)
at Ce.n (telerikReportViewer:1:26372)

at Object.updateUI (telerikReportViewer:1:43789)
at telerikReportViewer:1:93236

The report viewer continues being functional despite the error but accessibility text is missing for page number, export, and buttons(incl. parameters area).

According to the HTML5 Report Viewer documentation, the persistSession property of the viewer should be set to false by default.

This is not the case for the HTML5 WebForms Report Viewer, the value of its PersistSession property is true by default.

Since the HTML5 WebForms Report Viewer is a wrapper of the HTML5 Report Viewer, it should have the same default values.

In the Standalone Report Designer, collection editors, such as the ReportParameter Collection Editor, do not show the context menu when a property is right-clicked, and resetting property values through such windows is not possible.

The Properties window of the designer illustrates the expected behavior.

When rendering a report to PDF with the accessibility feature enabled - PDF Device Information Settings at a glance - Telerik Reporting, if there is a table/list/crosstab item that contains an item with a Navigate To Bookmark action pointing to the same BookmarkId, the document won't be rendered because of the following error:

Hi Team,

When using the WPF ReportViewer, Reporting appears to only fetch settings from appsetting.json, and ignores any other values coming from things like secrets.json, or any other configuration builder.

Please see the following forum thread, where Lance replied with a test that verifies none of the values from secrets.json were accessible to Reporting even though they are in the global Configuration (at 13 Sep 2024, 12:34 PM (ET) => https://www.telerik.com/forums/simple-wpf-reportviewer-example). Reporting only respected appsettings.json.

Proposed Solution

settings.AddTelerikReporting(configuration);

That allows me to pass the full view of the Configuration to Reporting that allows it to see more than what might only might be in appsettings.json (secrets, imported configurations, etc).

Thank you,

Brad

I understand that the ReportViewer has a very different paradigm from, say, the RadGridView.  However, I believe they should and could be much more similar.  With some fairly minor tweaks ReportViewer could be made to be a proper member of the C#/XAML/MVVM environment.  Particularly what is needed is a binding to the data source, just like RadGridView's "ItemsSource".

I've begun a discussion in the forum about this topic at https://www.telerik.com/forums/reporting-and-mvvm.  With Momchil's help I was able to create a workable solution for my scenario, but it required code that, in my opinion, I shouldn't have to write.

I'd be more that willing to chat about this further and provide more thoughts and details, but since we've made it all the way to 2024 without this being raised, I tend to assume the needs I've expressed may not be as universal as I'd assumed they would be.

Thanks!

In my report, I show a tiny goat symbol with the font 'Segoe UI Emoji'. It looks good in the Standalone Designer for .NET Framework, but it is not shown in the PDF export from my .NET application, although the font is correctly embedded.

In the Standalone Report Designer for .NET 8, the goat is not displayed when previewing or exporting either.

When I render a report with Gujarati language text to PDF on Windows, the GDI graphics engine is used and the text is displayed properly.

When I render the same report with the Skia graphics engine, on Windows or Linux, the characters are misplaced or incorrectly drawn.
