When you export a report from VBA, the image is missing in the PDF file. It is important that the problem is reproducible only on machines that Telerik Reporting has never been installed. With the same code, when exporting from VS, the report is correctly exported. The attached PDF files represent the outcome from both exports.

I am using the stand alone report designer, connected to a report server.
In the report I am designing, I have several cross tabs. We now want to create the same crosstabs, with additional filtering for the data.

- I copy the existing crosstab, then paste it.

Both cross tabs now reference the SAME row groups. Because of this, when I edit the filters, it just doesn't work. Looks like there are reference issues when the copy / paste is done, not all the objects within the cross tab are getting a new copy.

 

Original crosstab - it has a row group called "groupName1" :

 

Copied crosstab - same "groupName1" row group - it shouldn't be the same row group object.

I have a table with all of my columns sortable. 

When I add the sorting button using the Interactivity feature, the buttons are all left aligned. It is confusing when trying to figure out which button sorts a column. See the attachment.

I'd like to be able to move the sorting button left or right.

Currently, you can edit report in the web report designer only from the specified folder in the ReportSourceResolver or implement custom IDefinitionStorage as explained in the How to implement a report definition storage article. For that reason, it would be nice if you can set the report's folder dynamically out-of-the-box.

Release R2 2019 SP1

I put a ReportViewer in an application and VisualStudio inserted the required MergedDictionaries.  I updated them to the Green theme and added the Green reference, now I get a XAML error stating Cannot find resource named 'RepeatButtonStyle.'  I comment out this line in my App.xaml file:

<!--<ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.Themes;component/Themes/Green/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml" />-->

the error goes away and my XAML designer works again, but the navigation section of the report viewer has the incorrect theme applied.

I looked in the copy of the file that is on my computer located at:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Reporting R2 2019\Wpf\Themes\Green\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml

On line 8831 there is a reference to a Static Resource named RepeatButtonStyle.

<Style x:Key="TabbedWindowScrollButtonStyle" TargetType="RepeatButton" BasedOn="{StaticResource RepeatButtonStyle}">

I assume this the culprit?

There was a similar issue in February.

Currently the Web Report Designer (WRD) can only work with reports stored on the server where the WRD Web API service is hosted.

A nice addition would be the option to select a local TRDX/TRDP file from the client file system and upload it to the server, when opening a new report for edit.
When saving such report there should be an option to download it to the client's file system as well.

With this approach the open/save operations will more closely resemble those of the standalone report designer.

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

I've noticed an issue with the web service data source configuration window when using jQuery version 3.5.1 or higher.

When you use the click on the Web Service Data Source from the left side menu it will open the configuration window in which Responding encoding and Data selector fields will be there for the jQuery version 3.3.1.

Now try the same steps with the 3.5.1 jQuery version or higher and those 2 fields won't be there.

The issue is reproducible in Standalone Report Designer which internally uses RadRibbonWindow. When the Auto-hide taskbar feature in Windows is enabled and the window is initially maximized, the RadRibbonWindow position is not correctly calculated and looks offset. Here's the corresponding issue in Progress® Telerik® UI for WPF Feedback Portal: RibbonWindow: The window is clipped when maximized initially and OS taskbar is auto-hiding.

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.

Hi,

It would be very practical to have a component that could display HTML and CSS code from a data source.

 

Thank you

Currently, the row/record delimiter when exporting to CSV is taken from the environment. This way, the same CSV document will have different line separators when exported from Windows and Linux.

It will be very useful if the row delimiter can be specified in the device information settings the same way the field delimiter can.

It will be useful to have a function that can be used to keep the client session alive, for example by calling this function periodically to make requests to the service and thus to prevent the session from expiring.

Currently, the MsSqlServerStorage CommandTimeout is with the default value that is 30 s. In some scenarios, like when the Search functionality is enabled and the report is very big, the generated ClientSearchItemsResource may be too big, and when attempting to save it in the storage the latter may throw the exception 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Execution Timeout Expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.'

The error may be avoided if the CommandTimeout can be increased.

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.
