I have a calculated field of type Decimal where I may dynamically return 0 in some of the rows of data.
If this happens with the first data row, it will not respect the selected data type and will instead infer that the type of data is an integer.
If I use this calculated field in an aggregate function such as Sum(), since the type of the first value will be integer, it will treat the other values as integers as well and the total sum will be incorrectly aggregated.
It would be very convenient if we could just right-click on a calculated field, such as "Period" in the screenshot below, and be able to modify the existing expression (within a context window)
Instead, I now have to do the following:
1. Click on the Data Source
2. Click on the ellipses button within the "Calculated Fields" property of the Data Source's properties
3. Find the desired expression within the "Edit Calculated Fields" window
4. Click on the expression's drop-down and select <Expression>
That's a lot of clicks for something that is done rather frequently!
Currently, to customize the report engine, for example to add some custom user functions, we have to either use the app config or provide a IConfiguration to ReportProcessor constructor, which seems to set a static field for all reports, and on top of that we have to provide a whole assembly (which will load ALL non-private static methods, I did try to use typereferences instead of assemblyReferences, but that doesn't seem to work for custom functions).
Meanwhile all we needed was to expose a handful of functions. Our current workaround is to have a whole assembly dedicated to that.
It'd good to be able to:
- Specify either a single class or individual methods through the library API (e.g. reportProcessor.AddCustomFunction("name", (arg) => ...); or reportProcessor.AddCustomFunctions(typeof(MyCustomFunctions);)
- Avoid using static state (it limits how the library can be used and, more importantly, tested)
- Maybe have a way to provide a Service Provider, that Telerik library would use to create services/classes and pull IConfiguration from, especially those we provide, that way the custom functions could use services from our application, rather than using all static methods.
Thank you,
Is there a way to have the linear gauge display a value above the indicator?
The Web Report Designer does not entirely comply with CSP standards, necessitating the use of the 'unsafe-eval' directive in our CSP policies to enable its functionality.
This directive poses significant security risks and undermines the purpose of implementing CSP in the first place. Please remove this requirement.
When I try to open the edit dialog for a report parameter from the Report Explorer in the .NET Standalone Report Designer, the dialog does not open.
The same appoach works as expected with the .NET Framework Standalone Report Designer.
As an alternative for the .NET Standalone Report Designer, the second approach from the ReportParameter Collection Editor at a Glance - Telerik Reporting article may be used.
I have been forcing my webservice data source into a workable solution for making GraphQL requests. Right now in order for us to use GraphQL, we have to build out the request manually with a string such as the following:
{"query: "query GetSomeResult($input: Int!) {result {id name}}", "variables": "{"input": @parameter}" }
While this is a normal way to hand craft a GraphQL request, the issue I have is that it shouldn't need to be that hard. Also I get no intellisense or suggestion in regards to the data returning. This means that when I try to bind data to a text box, I have to visually validate that the [=Fields....] is actually correct by looking at the GraphQL query and at the code base. I would love to see the ability to to just say have a set of standard api technologies we could implement from such as GraphQL queries, GRPc queries, or any other contract style request. I would expect that the data source logic would be smart enough to parse the query (at least for GQL) and be able to provide reccomendations.
Also a major issue we have had is in being able to pass that data source to subReports, or dealing with any nested objects such as a user.address.addressLine1 would not be able to be found if address is a nested values like the following
user: { address: { addressLine1 } }
At the moment it's only possible to have your reports in old-fashioned projects.
It should be possible to add/design reports to SDK-style projects. That should work no matter what target framework is (.NET Core, .NET Standard or .NET Framework).
If I use an HTML5-based Report Viewer with the default CONTINUOUS_SCROLL page mode and I start scrolling to the next page, the Get Document Page request is made multiple times for the same page.
If I move to the next page via the toolbar buttons or if I use the SINGLE_PAGE page mode, then problem is not reproduced.
If there are parameters which are not mandatory, the reports automatically when loaded. In actual scenarios, there may be a lot of data being processed as the parameters may be empty. Developer should have an option on report level, say, AutoRun as true or false. The developer could decide if report needs to auto run. Thanks, Jai
Telerik.Reporting.nupkg has a dependency on ResXResourceReader.NetStandard.
Our 3rd party security audit has found the missing Digital Signature of this DLL. A digital signature would aid in verifying its authenticity and integrity.
In the standalone designer, it would be helpful if you could drag and drop the column headers to reorder. At present you have to add a new column and delete the old one, remembering to copy all properties.
