Just like the HTML5 Report Viewer, it will be easier to embed the Web Report Designer in an application if it wasn't necessary to manually add the kendo script to the page.
I have a use case which requires me to record data whenever a report is printed. In pursuit of this, I am trying to replace the build in Print() tool and replace it with my own.
I have read this documentation which shows how to remove and reorder the buttons well enough, but it does not support adding a new tool all-together. Javascript event listeners will not work for me because ultimately what I want to do is accomplish a database write, which would be insecure through javascript.
I have been able to establish a workaround by following this documentation and creating a button *outside* of the ReportViewer, however, I would still like to find a way to put the button inside of the ReportViewer toolbar if possible.
I often need to have the same Report Parameters in different reports, including the main and its subreport. Currently, I need to add the parameters manually.
It would be very useful if we could copy/paste Report Parameters between reports.
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,
When trying to duplex print a report that has odd page numbers, the next report's first page prints on the back of the previous report. We need the ability to conditionally insert a page break based on whether the report's (the group's) page count is odd or even. Since we don't have access to the global pagecount variable outside the footer, there is no way to use it to insert a page break into the body of the report. This seems like it would be such a common need with the desire by many to save paper that it would be an obvious feature to include in the product. Thanks.
Is there a way to have the linear gauge display a value above the indicator?
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.
Old shortcuts(CTRL+INSERT: Copy, SHIFT+INSERT: Paste and SHIFT+DELETE: Cut) of cut/copy/paste don't work in Standalone Report Designer for elements.
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 } }
As of now the Reporting team provides only part of the source code - mostly the code that targets .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Please expose more of the code to your customers, like Telerik Reporting engine for .NET 6+ and corresponding REST WebAPI.
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).
At the moment, a whole words are removed from text until it becomes short enough to fit in the text box, and this is the only available behaviour.
There should be an option to put ellipsis or clip the text to the textbox width instead (like CSS text-overflow "ellipsis" and "clip").
There's also an older discussion here:

Inside telerik designer for reports actually if you wish to use an RGBA color, you would need to manually write it.
And generally color choise / picking its a little old style.
-> Would be nice to modernize the UI for color management and implement a COLOR PICKER.

The variable, ParametersAreaVisible, is set to false. The report viewer is still showing the parameters area. I went back to the designer and set all parameters to Visible = false. When I did this, the parameters area is not displayed.
The report viewer should respect what is bound to ParametersAreaVisible.
