I use the kendovalidator before rendering the report to check the correct parameter of initial and final date.
However, the validation fails because additional inputs (for the "Send Email" functionality) are included in the HTML output of the viewer even though I have disabled it.
I believe that if the "Send Email" option is disabled the mail data panel should not be created.
I have a Website ASP.NET project, and I am trying to implement the Reporting REST Service in it. To do that, I have tried to install the Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi package to my solution. However, when I attempt that, I get the following error:
The package 'Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi' tried to add a framework reference to 'System.Web.Http' which was not found in the GAC. This is possibly a bug in the package. Please contact the package owners for assistance. Cannot find assembly 'System.Web.Http'.
It seems that the package requires that the System.Web.Http.dll assembly is available in the GAC, otherwise, the package cannot be installed.
The workaround to be able to install the package is to manually install the assembly to the GAC, or paste it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.8.
I want to be able to localize my reports for particular languages/cultures,
So they may be consumed by diverse end-users.
When using screen reader applications like JAWS or Narrator, those tools read accessible reporting PDFs in an incorrect order. For example, if I have two items in the report, the reader will read the second item first.
Additionally, images whose AccessibleDescription I have set may be read multiple times..
I had an issue with watermarks being present in the generated PDF despite the license validation passing. In the trace log, I was seeing this:
x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : *** ReportProcessor.ProcessReport STARTED *** x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : SQLite x64: v3.50.4 x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : *** ProcessReport #0 "Invoice" STARTED *** x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : *** ProcessReport #0 "Invoice" DONE in 00:00:00.6363067 *** x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : *** ReportProcessor.ProcessReport DONE in 00:00:00.7891276 *** x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : License check for assembly Telerik.Reporting, Version=19.3.25.1119, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be: True x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : *** Render Report #0 "Invoice" STARTED *** x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : ReportName: Invoice; DocumentName: Invoice; Extension: PDF x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DeviceInfo Contents x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : =================== x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : ChangingPermissionType: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : ComplianceLevel: "None" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : CopyingPermissionType: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentAuthor: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentCreator: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentKeywords: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentNaturalLanguage: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentProducer: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentSubject: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : DocumentTitle: "" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : EnableAccessibility: "False" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : EndPage: "0" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : FontEmbedding: "None" x.x.x.x.exe Information: 0 : ForceLicenseWatermark: "True"
The issue turned out to be due to caching, but the output puzzled me while I was debugging this. Turned out `ForceLicenseWatermark` is always true (the misleading part), but only has an effect when the license validation fails.
After dragging a report viewer control from the Visual Studio toolbox to the surface of a Windows Form, the viewer is added to the component tray but it is not added to the Controls collection of the form. Thus, the viewer is not displayed when running the application.
Also, some properties of the report viewer, such as the ReportSource property, are not serialized properly after being modified through the Visual Studio properties window.
Currently, one can work around these issues by manually editing the InitializeComponent component method of the form's .Designer.cs file.
This results in the text being cut off at the end despite there being available space in the item. On the other hand, the issue is not present when the font is resolved normally.
The provided URI should instead be only the relative URI that I have set on the action.
I have noticed that the performance of exporting reports has gotten worse in recent releases. After investigating, I found out that this is likely caused by the sheer size of the code in my projects.
To prove this, I created a simple application that renders a report to PDF programmatically. Then, I created 10 000+ dummy classes in the same project, and tried rendering the report again. The performance was noticeably impacted by this change.
If cells grow or shrink, if there are hidden cells, any time a report section grows vertically, the next section/table is not respecting the growing of the previous item and text prints in the wrong spot or the table overlaps the previous table.
A potential workaround is to manually convert the troublesome tables to lists where possible.
I have a solution with two projects: one containing a report, and another for the objects.
The first one has a project reference to the second, and the objects are used within an ObjectDataSource component in the report from the first.
I open the solution, build the project with the objects, but the Data Explorer of the ObjectDataSource component in the first project with the report does not get automatically updated. I have to reconfigure the ObjectDataSource manually for the change to take effect.
I load multiple variants of the Segoe UI font as private fonts in my application:
<!-- Segoe UI -->
<add fontFamily="Segoe UI" path="Fonts\SegoeUI\segoeui.ttf" fontStyle="Regular" />
<add fontFamily="Segoe UI" path="Fonts\SegoeUI\seguisb.ttf" fontStyle="Semibold" />This leads to issues, as there is no "Semibold" option in the System.Drawing.FontStyle enum.
The workaround that can be used to avoid this problem is to use unique font family names. For example
<add fontFamily="Segoe UI" path="Fonts\SegoeUI\segoeui.ttf" />
<add fontFamily="Segoe UI Semibold" path="Fonts\SegoeUI\seguisb.ttf" />
This works fine in the Report Designer, e.g., when the Start Date is changed in preview mode, the End Date value is recalculated.
However, this behavior does not work in the Blazor Native Report Viewer. When the page first renders, the two dates are shown correctly, but if the Start Date is changed, the End Date is not recalculated.
When adding an embedded image to a coded report in the Standalone Designer .NET, the original RESX file is not modified.
Only the original DESIGNER.CS file is modified. This leads to the new PictureBox being present but empty after deleting the dedicated folder named after the report (beside the designer EXE).
When my application is hosted on Windows, Arabic date values appear reversed in the day part during PDF export with the Skia graphics engine. For example, 2025/01/01 is displayed as /01/10 when Arabic digits are used.
With the GDI graphics engine, the Date values are rendered as expected.
All of my report parameters have their AutoRefresh setting set to False, and the parameters do not depend on each other, they are not cascading parameters. The parameters have available values.
If I change the value of one of the parameters, despite the above settings, all of the other parameters' data is re-retrieved(even if those parameters are not visible).
This causes issues because the "Preview" button is disabled until the parameters are refreshed, and makes the UX bad since if the connection is slow, the end-users will have to wait for the parameters area to refresh after changing any parameter value.
