We display data inside an HtmlTextBox that was entered using the RadEditor.  It would be great if the Reporting HtmlTextBox could be brought much closer or even in line with tag support as the editor.  We are frequently running into issues with uncommon tags (that we strip out for the HtmlTextBox) and also with spacing being different.  We work around the issues we have, but continuing increased tag support or auto stripping of unsupported tags would be very appreciated.

I have a requirement for my report book to feature a title page and *THEN* a table of contents for the report book, followed by the report book's content. Currently, the TOC for a report book can only go at the beginning or the end of the book. My requirement required the ability to specify the TOC position more generally.
Here are two possible approaches:

1. Implement the requirement as it is stated by allowing the report book's TOC to be positioned after such and such a report - the nth, or some other means of identification.
2. Honour the TOC for a report book that is nested inside another. I created a 'sub book' with the TOC as its first page and then added this an outer book. Unfortunately, the inner book's TOC was not honoured and the report was skipped.

To my mind, the second suggestion above feels easier to implement (but I am guessing, of course). It certainly would allow just about any combination.

As the world of data visualization changes and the demands for features to the end-users allowing them to use visualisation methods such as dashboards and pivots allowing them to slice and dice runtime. 
Are there anything in the telerik roadmap which allows for this kind of product component?

I see that competitors such as ComponentOne has Active analytics and Devexpress has dashboraddesigner and dashboardviwer as components in their toolbox.

If anyone else are seeking the same oppertunity in the Telerik toolbox please feel free to comment.

I am not really convinced this belongs in the reporting tool but as this was suggested by the team - so be it.

What I am looking for is an end-user friendly way of visualising data without being knowledgeable of how to connect to databases and how to look for the right tables, but simply choosing pre populated "datasets" for presenting as
- Charts
- Gauges
- Pivot tables
- slice & dice
- compare data based on easy selection of
   - date ranges 
   - geografical presence

So basically a dashboard designer allowing end user to Do Your Own.

Thanks in advance for considering the suggestion
   

After setting the Margins under the Page Settings, the Width should be automatically set.
The Width should be the Paper Width with the Left and Right Margins subtracted.
What happens when this 'formula' is not used, which one takes precedence?

It would also be nice to display the Height as a read only property.

I am currently investigating including the Telerik Reports in our products but when I load the Web Report Designer it loads a theme which is overwriting our custom theme. 

Is there any way to prevent this so that we keep our custom theme?

We have developed additional logic around the Telerik Reporting Engine so I don't know if this would be valuable to anyone else or not but I would love to have the ability to associate custom properties to a control.  

The use case that comes to mind most is the logic we have implemented to auto size text that displays on a report to fit in the area provided.  We use a control naming scheme to determine what controls should be auto sized and how they should be sized in relation to other parts of the report.  It is typically assigned used with a Panel, a TextBox, or an HTMLTextBox.

I would love to have the ability to add two associate two additional properties to these controls that could be used in the stand alone designer to allow users to set an AutoSize (true / false) and a SizingGroup (string) property on these controls rather than worry about making sure the control is named properly.  I would allow users to more easily leverage this functionality.

I realize that it is unlikely that this will be implemented since it wouldn't be widely used but I like to dream.

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 

Please add DropDownTree and/or TreeView as single- and multi-value parameter editors to accommodate Hierarchical data. It would be nice to have them out-of-the-box when available values come from a hierarchical/self-referencing table(s), but I would be happy if they could be integrated as Custom Parameter Editors. I was able to render and populate the dropdowntree with checkboxes, pass the correct selected values, but the 'Preview' button would never enable upon selection. Also, the dropdowntree's AutoClose(false) was not recognized. I know this can be achieved outside of the report viewer, but sometimes that method disrupts the layout and flow of the reporting view.

 

I am working on a report in the .NET Report Designer that takes time parameters.  I am looking for a way to replace the DatePicker that is used in the Report Designer parameters section with the DateTimePicker, but I've been told by support that there is no way to do that.

At a minimum, I need a way to specify which picker (Date, Time or DateTime) that the Designer should use.  Being able to specify a format would be helpful also.  Ideally the stand alone designer would provide a way to customize and view a custom template that is developed for the HTML5 Report Viewer.

I'm stilling trying to figure out what I have to do, but it appears every time a modify the report I'm not going to be able to view it in the Designer and instead I'm going to have to view it in the Report Viewer in the main application, which will be a much slower and more cumbersome process.

I like how with Kendo UI for MVC you have the option of placing the references dlls into lib/kendouimvc, so projects are not dependent on having the correct version installed (or having the telerik control panel installed on a build server), and when updates occur it will copy over everything and make sure you don't miss something. 

It would be nice to have an option in the upgrade wizard extension thingy to have a section for including telerik reporting and it will put the necessary dlls in your project the same way.

I can easily manually copy the files over, so this is just a pet peave thing, but it would be nice...

When i use "MultiSelectEditor" with parameters that have MultiValue set to true and have provided AvailableValues, it doesn't handle them. Only when i use those parameters with "MultiValueEditor" then it handles them even though "MultiValueEditor" is used with parameters that have not provided AvailableValues.

Hi,

It would be necessary to have a way to export a sub-report to a trdx file with the designer. Also, the same tool could be used to import a sub-report into an XML source. Currently, it takes a lot of acrobatics to be able to do this work.

Thank you for your help!

When you preview a Telerik report the report automatically saves.  Unlike Visual Studio, PowerPivot, SSRS, etc.. a preview in Telerik reporting overwrites your vetted production report with all uncommitted changes.  This has cost us significant time and headaches.  There are very good reasons every other piece of software in the world decouples preview from save.  Is there any reason Telerik reporting behaves in a way that makes it easier than other software products to commit flawed changes to production files?

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!

ObjectDataSource with parameters of types Object[], String, and DateTime throws an exception in Report Designer Data Explorer. The error states that 'Member GetMissingSwipes(System.String filePath) on type GroupDataTable not found.' although the data source is configured to utilize a method with the same name with three parameters.

When the Report is shown in the HTML5 Interactive viewer, you can move the mouse over the cells in the Hyperlink column. When a cell has the mouse cursor hovering over it, a gray border is drawn around the cell.

The problem is that this gray border is partially covered by the Background color of the next cell.

The Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf NuGet package does not contain all the dependent UI for WPF assemblies. I cannot use the UI for WPF NuGet packages without also having a license.

It would be nice if the WPF Report Viewer NuGet package included all the dependent UI for WPF assemblies.

I am currently using Reporting 13.2.19.1030.
The following error occurred while using Reporting.

'Non-Error promise rejection captured with value: Error shown. Throwing promises chain stop error.'

I looked up the cause of this error, and I was able to confirm the following article.

https://feedback.telerik.com/report-server/1401328-report-server-ui-shows-error-shown-throwing-promises-chain-stop-error-when-scheduling-report-with-parameters-and-unregistered-data-connection

As explained in the above article, the error in Report Server (5.1.19.618) has been corrected to appear to be a significant error.

So I looked up the release note to see if this error was fixed in the Reporting product, but I couldn't find any related information.

Is this error corrected on the Report Server only and not corrected in Reporting? If so, when can it be revised?

The SearchDialog is placed based upon a parent window of type "Window". However, when I use other types like "RadRibbonWindow" as my main window the placement does not work correct. As a result the SearchDialog is shown in the upper right corner of the desktop. This is the code (in SearchDialogController.cs):

        Window GetParentWindow()
        {
            return (this.model.PageScrollViewer == null)
                ? null
                : this.model.PageScrollViewer.FirstParentOfType<Window>();
        }

At least this method should also take RadRibbonWindow in account (this is certainly not used that rarely since we all use Telerik components!) or for a more generic solution look for types that are derived from Window.

Hello

 

I have problem with visual studio auto close when I'm working in reporting designer.

When I'm working in reporting designer and do about 5 changes, Visual studio freezes and after few monents is restarted and I loose all my work.

It is really frequented problem and I can hardly work with reporting designer.

 

In Windows Event Viewer I everytime find this exception that referes to problem in GetAggregateFunctions().

Application: devenv.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
