Pasting a HEX value to  a report item whose color has not been set before leads to the error:

"An error has occurred. NaN is not a valid value for Int32."

The workaround is to set the color of that property through the ColorPicker control before attempting to paste the new HEX color. If a color has been selected before, the issue is not present.

Currently there appears to be no functionality available to add additional attachments via the Telerik Reporting Send Mail dialog or programmatically by passing parameters to the Report Viewer using a model.

 

Scenario 1:

- When we email a new Quote, which is a Telerik Report, to a Customer we would like to automatically attach a "New Products Brochure". The brochure is a frequently updated pdf document that would reside on the server.

 

Scenario 2:

- When we email a Customer Invoice, which is a Telerik Report, to a Customer if:

1) It is the 1st Invoice we have sent them for the current Agreement then automatically attach the Agreement related to Invoice - where the Agreement is another Telerik Report.

2) The Customer has an outstanding balance with us then attach a "Customer Statement", which is another Telerik Report, in pdf format.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

When trying to use XML markup as Report Source for a SubReport, the error "Root element is missing" is being thrown. 

The input field taking the XML markup seems to initially read only the first row of the XML markup. To work around this issue, expand the input field dropdown and select the <Expression> option then paste the XML markup and save.

Consider the following expression of HtmlTextBox:

= " <span style="text-decoration: underline">hello</span>"

It is evaluated as invalid due to the quotes. However, it works if you replace the inner ones with single quotes:

= " <span style="text-decoration: underline">hello</span>"

The Web Report Designer CSV Data Source Wizard throws errors when the FileDefinitionStorage folder does not contain a Resources subfolder.

Hi admin/team,

we are using HTMLTextBox to display big paragraph text using panel. The paragraph text is having numbered list [Ordered list and Unordered list] content. The report rendering PDF format, the paragrah text has auto corrected number list. We dont want auto corrected number list and should display as we have in paragraph. 

Could you please help on this. Do we have any specific properties ? Thanks

For your reference: Highlighted color -> Expected: some points are start with '6.' numbered list 

Actual-> Auto corrected numbered list and start from '1.'

 

in website Chrome Browser (Expected)

in Report Viewer PDF format(Actual)

Currently, if you use an Expression to change the parameter's Text, it will be correctly evaluated only the first time when the report is rendered. Let's say you have 2 parameters- Parameter1 and Parameter2. The Text property of the second parameter is based on the Value of the first. However, if you change the value of the first parameter, then the Text of the second will not be updated.

OnGetDocument and OnCreateDocument can be overridden in the ASP.NET Web API ReportsController to modify the report documents as explained in the KB Modify exported report document prior to serving it to the viewer client.

In ASP.NET Core this is not possible as OnGetDocument and OnCreateDocument don't exist.

Users/I can't enter a negative value in the parameter area in the report.   I'm trying to entire Amounts over -500 or Amounts under -1. The same behavior is observed in the WinForms Report Viewer.

As I outlined in my Issue with the Cross-section Item post to the forums, the current implementation of the cross-section item carries the following limitation:

The Cross-section item uses the report's data context and cannot be evaluated against detail or group data. The processing engine produces a single instance per each Cross-section item in the report definition, therefore its style or visibility cannot be changed based on data fields.

For invoice (or sales order) style reports this places a severe limitation on the complexity of the report.

One of my current projects requires me to create a report layout that can be run for multiple invoices from multiple customers, where each customer has their own unique set of flags that control what information is included on their invoices for each line item of the invoice.

My current version of this report works great when it is run for a single invoice or invoices from a single customer (or from customers who use the exact same set of print flags) by binding the visibility and begin/end margin values of the lines that start in the groupHeader section, cross through the detailSection, before finally terminating in the groupFooter section.

This can be seen clearly in the 2 attached invoices, one with lots of columns of information (called: Invoice with lots of detail columns.png), and another where the customer has been configured with all the additional information toggled off (called: Invoice with minimal detail columns.png).

Unfortunately, because of the cross-section item's current limitation, when I run the report for both invoices the lines attributes/visibility are set based on the customer flags of the "first" invoice in the group, and do not get reset for subsequent invoices.  This can be seen in the attached file: Behavior when including both invoices.png.

I understand that if a cross-section item begins/ends in a page/report header/footer, then having it's attributes change based on group-specific data would be less than ideal.  But when the line beginning and end points are restricted to a group header and footer, as it always would be for a report layout used for multiple invoices or sales orders, then having that line's attributes change based on the data is the only way to use this functionality for these types of complex reports.

NOTE: While there is a workaround using the attributes/visibility of detail columns, vertical lines in the detail section, and their associated headers and totals textboxes in the groupHeader and groupFooter, it results in an unprofessionial looking report because of the difficulty in getting the variable border and detail vertical lines to line up precisely (and it is very time-consuming to try to implement).

 

SUMMARY:

Changing the Cross-section item implementation to allow it's data context to be evaluated against detail or group data when the line's terminators are restricted to groupHeader/Footers would allow for its use in more complicated report layouts.

 

BTW: interally, we refer to these reports as Mighty Morphing Invoice Reports™!!!

 

It will be very helpful if users can access the sorting parameters (field name and direction) for this sorting request.

MAUI would truly benefit from a reporting engine. While MAUI with Blazor could supposedly use your Reporting engine, that is less straightforward than such an engine working directly with MAUI.

The Drag and Drop functionality of data field doesn't work when a TextBox is localized in the Web Report Designer.

It would be nice to replace the dropdown with data providers when adding a new SQL DataSource in the Web Report Designer. This would allow using  3rd party data providers and such that are not registered in the machine config.

If you drag and drop a List in a Report in the Web Report Designer, and then reduce its height and the height of its inner Panel from the Property editor, initially, the changes are respected. When you save the changes and reopen the same report, the Panel recovers its previous Height.

The issue is not reproducible when modifying List or Panel size with mouse dragging.

When disposing Report Viewer Angular component remove the resize event handlers attached to the window from reporting an kendoSplitter

There seems to be an issue with the filter / parameters with comma separated values for Multivalue.  I've tried numerous ways to get this to work directly in the preview function on the report designer.  Nothing done so far works.

Set Filter to multi
Set Parameter to IN 

 

Typed in value, value - typed in 'value','value', etc.  This is a basic text field so I am not certain as to what exactly should be put in the filter box to allow for 2 or more values in a filter.

This produces data on the report with IN and Multivalue 

This produces an error

The current data set presented in the report did not produce any significant content, so no pages were generated. If you need to see the whole report content, including blank pages, please contact the report author.

 

Please advise exactly how to do this with an example.  I have scoured the forums and the documentation with no relevant information that works for a multiple value field.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I request you to add a new property in the report object when we unpackage the TRDP file to get a list of fields that are used in the report template.

Currently, We are not able to identify how much data we need to extract from the database as we are using the ObjectDataSource component in the report we have the number of fields in the data source but fewer were used in the report template hence on the performance point of view we need to get data only for those fields.

Thanks.

When trying to select a ReportSource for a Subreport or for a report viewer, the CS/VB reports are not detected. This doesn't allow selecting the report from the item template.

The reporting engine does not allow for report parameters to have white spaces in their names and you cannot create such in the Standalone Designer, for example. However, unlike the Standalone Designer, the web-based designer does not prevent you from creating a parameter with white spaces in its name. As a result, the report cannot be saved and it does not preview correctly.
