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).

It would be good a maintain the scroll position on the parent page while navigating back from a drill-through report (using the back button of the report viewer) specially if the parent page contains a vertical scrollbar. This would enhance the user experience and eliminate the need to scroll back to the original position.

Almost any object can be set to grow (CanGrow = True). Which makes the object grow if the text is too long.

I believe you need a function for making the text fit inside the object.

“ShrinkToFit = True”

This would shrink the text so that it fits inside the object. So if the font size is 20 and a long text wouldn’t fit inside the object, the font size would shrink until it fits.

Today we need to set several conditional formatting rules for this and it’s far from perfect. 

Images taken with a mobile device are sometimes displayed in PictureBox  rotated by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. The reason is that whenever a photo is taken, the device saves its current accelerometer orientation into a corresponding Exif tag with the image metadata, so this info is then read and taken into account by our Report Designer.

When exporting to PDF from Telerik Report Designer the software creates a list of flat links for each TOC entry, but the links are separated in the structure from the TOC Label. While a good start, it would be better to use a main TOC tag under which each line in the TOC would receive a TOCI (Table of Contents Item) tag. Each TOCI would contain the label and link for the respective item. Attaching a few examples to assist.

Currently, if the SkipBlankPages property is set to True and there is not any significant content in the report, the following message will be displayed in the designer and the viewer: The current data set presented in the report did not produce any significant content, so no pages were generated. If you need to see the whole report content, including blank pages, please contact the report author.

Currently, like the FileStorage and the MsSqlServerSrorage, the Reporting service performs periodic clean ups of the cachec client assets in the RedisStorage.

Those assets are stored in keys, which do not have an expiration date, so the Reporting service is the one that is single-handedly responsible for deleting those keys.

This approach may work well for the other storages, but in terms of Redis, it leaves more to be desired. Some of the possible cons of this approach are that:

1. Cleanup depends on traffic. Expired report data is removed only when a new viewer client registers. If the service stops getting viewer traffic, nothing it stored is ever removed.
2. Upgrades leave data behind. The storage keys include the Telerik product version. After an upgrade, the service only looks at keys for the new version, so cleanup never reaches data written by the previous version. It stays in Redis for good, no matter how much traffic the service gets.

So whether Redis memory is ever reclaimed depends on viewer traffic and upgrade history. In a shared Redis cache, the leftover data builds up until the cache reaches its memory limit. Redis can't evict it, because standard eviction policies apply only to keys with an expiration. The cache then starts rejecting writes, which breaks every application using it.

A cache provider should guarantee its data expires on its own, without depending on later traffic or on cleanup code that knows about earlier versions.

Requested:
An expiration option on RedisStorage, with a sliding expiration refreshed on access. With that in place, Redis reclaims all storage on its own, including data from previous versions, regardless of viewer traffic.

I am using the WPF report viewer; however, if I merge the theme resources directly to the report viewer, the search dialog clashes due to a missing "GlyphSearchStop" resource. If I apply them to the hosting window or on application level, the theme affects other controls as well.

Please allow for better control of this so that the resources only affect the viewer and its dialogs.

Hello Team,

I will be great if the Telerik Reporting REST Service Core could support System.Text.Json serialization.

Best Regards,

It would be great if you could introduce the ability to create custom reusable color palettes in Telerik Report Designer, so I don't have to declare the same set of colors for each chart I need them.

If you have a lot of graphs in your report then it is more convenient to change the color palette one place.

I am using the Standalone Report Designer for .NET to open a code-based report from an application that was migrated from .NET Framework. Before the migration, function calls defined in the designer.cs file were preserved and evaluated at runtime as expected. However, after migrating to the code-based reports functionality supported by the Standalone Report Designer for .NET, these function calls are evaluated immediately during the report import process, and the resulting values are then serialized and stored in the report definition.

It would be nice if the function calls were preserved in the imported report, allowing them to be evaluated later at runtime, as their return values may change depending on the execution context.

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
  }
}

The Telerik Reporting REST Service storage is automatically cleaned based on some configurable timeouts and hardcoded times. It requires an awaken service to be performed.

It would be very useful for the developer to be able to invoke manually the storage cleaning functionality either with code or through the service Web API.

Is it possible to get descriptive information exposed for the ReportsControllerBase swagger endpoints? do they exist?

Notice how the About and files endpoints have information next to them:

Like-wise how the files endpoint has descriptive parameters:

We have spotted that PInvoke is now marked as deprecated (this applies even to the latest 0.7.124 version). In the description of the PInvoke.User32 NuGet package, it is mentioned that Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32 should be used instead:

Please consider replacing the deprecated package.
