When I drag a data field from a DataSource component to the Report details section in the Standalone Report Designer, the Report > DataSource property is set automatically to the corresponding DataSource component.

In the Web Report Designer, when I drag a data field, the Report > DataSource property remains empty, and the Preview shows an empty report. It would be very helpful the same functionality to be introduced also in the Web Designer.

I use cascading parameters and need to specify their Text property with an Expression, as the label should be translated through a User Function. My parameters shouldn't have values initially.

The problem is that the dependent parameter's Text Expression is not evaluated when the report is first displayed by the designer or viewer. The label shows the Expression instead.

If I make the independent parameter Nullable, the issue doesn't occur, but I prefer not to allow Null values.

The problem is shown in the linked muted video.

When the parametersAreaVisible property of the report viewer is set to true, the parameters area of the viewer should be open by default if a report that has visible parameters is being previewed.

However, when a mobile device is used, the parameters area is closed by default.

Additionally, the arrow used to open the parameters area is hidden by default. The device orientation needs to be toggled to horizontal and back for the arrow to appear.

I would like to request an option on bar charts or column chart where the bars can be separated or pushed apart.  The default in Telerik is to place all bar series next to each other, which is visually terrible.  Attached is a sample image below.

I simple spacing option would be great!

I am using the ObjectDataSource component and within my class, I use EF Core and initialize the DbContext with a connection string to pull data.

This works as expected in my application, however, when I try to use the assembly in the .NET Standalone Report Designer, it throws exceptions that one or more of the dependencies of the EF Core package cannot be loaded:

FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add two lists at the same level:

2. Select list1 and click Ctrl+X

3. Select panel2 nested in list2 and press Ctrl+V:

4. Preview the report:

I have projects on .NET Core and I want to use the System.Text.Json serializer that is the new default, but reporting relies on Newtonsoft.Json.

ADMIN EDIT

There are two approaches that can be taken right now to solve this:

OPTION 1: define separate endpoints (services, projects) for the different tasks - they can still use the same database layer through a shared project, depending on the architecture you have. This would let you have separated services with the appropriate serializers without custom attributes and code (see below). For example, create a separate project for the reporting REST services.

OPTION 2: add some custom decoration on the endpoints so you can choose which serializer is used on each, you can find some examples here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59650907/how-to-configure-two-json-serializers-and-select-the-correct-one-based-on-the-ro - the point being to register a serializer depending on the endpoint based on your own code rather than let the framework put one in for all endpoints.

NOTE: This would be a breaking change.

Reports designed in Blazor Web Designer may have multiple shared data sources, only one of which can be used to bind details section data. That I understand.

A use of a secondary data source can be to provide data to which Report Parameters can be bound, such as providing dynamic localized values for any language and/or region. This I expect to do in every report of mine.

Right now, unless I've overlooked some existing mechanism, in each and every report for each field in such a secondary data source I have to manually create a new Report Parameter, bind it to the desired data source, and at least set the ValueMember to that data source field. This can be very time consuming, especially if there are a large number to be created.

It would seem possible for you to add a data source feature such that use of that data source in a report automatically does this for me for each selected field in the Select Query. That would save me a tremendous amount of design time!

Also, if you reply to this, perhaps you could tell me what constitutes a report's "Inline Data Source"? I have been unable to locate any discussion in your documentation nor any means to actually create one if that were useful to me.

Currently, the desktop viewers don't allow adding custom headers to their requests to the service.
In HTML5-based web viewers, this is possible through the AjaxPrefilter event.

When exporting a report to Excel with the UseExtendedFormatting parameter set to False, the Standard DateTime Format Strings are hard coded as custom formats in the generated XLS/XLSX document.

The custom formats correspond to the current regional settings or, if the report is rendered with a specific culture, the default date format strings for the selected culture.  

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.

The Uri user function can be selected from the functions list in the expression editor of the designer but when the report is previewed the following error message is shown.

The expression contains undefined function call Uri()

Hi Team,

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

Thank you!

I export the same TRDP report that embeds a Bitmap image on Windows with GDI and on Linux Docker Container.

The result PDF file from the Linux environment is much bigger than the one generated on Windows.

Currently, when you set SplitWorksheetOnPageBreak to True, the Excel Sheet name is formed from the DocumentName or ReportName and the number of the page.

It would be very helpful if the report authors can manipulate these names with Expressions.

Please consider adding an RTF Text Box control to your report toolbar.   Crystal reports has this ability which we've used on many of our reports.  Currently the only work around for changing the RTF data to something that Telerik Reports will print cleanly, is to create a user defined custom function.

The following screenshot demonstrates what the ToC looks like when rendered with Skia on Linux.

Below is the expected result. Rendered with GDI on Windows.
