RDL RDLC support

Hi,

Will there be any RDL RDLC support for telerik in the near future?

Hello Tony,

Can you clarify what do you mean by your inquiry? Telerik Reporting is a standalone reporting product that is not related to SSRS, but actually a replacement for it.
If you're asking for import from SSRS, be aware that RDL/RDLC format differs a lot from Telerik reports. Telerik report is divided into sections from different types and every section type has its specific meaning. In the opposite the RDL format doesn't define such sections but uses other data aware elements - List, Table, etc.

At the moment these differences plus other pending issues prevent us from specifying a precise release date or a version, but we do have plans to provide RDL/RDLC converter at some point.

Kind regards,
Steve
the Telerik team

We have RDLC report. Is there any support to call it with html five report viewer?

Hello Richard,

Telerik Reporting provides a viewer for web projects - HTML5 Report Viewer. However, reports first need to be converted to the format supported by Telerik Reporting. It cannot work with RDLC files, the report definition produced with our tool is either XML-based .trdp(.trdx) format created by the Standalone Report Designer or CLR/type report definitions (i.e. CS or VB files) created with the Visual Studio Report Designer.

I have to say that we do not provide converters for RDLC reports due to the significant difference in structure and expressions mechanism. Therefore, the reports need to be converted manually. If you decide to proceed with the conversion I recommend starting with the topics in the Report Structure section that will give you an overview of how the Telerik Report is structured.

Best Regards,
