Standalone Report Designer Configuration Sections

The settings of the Telerik Reporting engine are defined in a custom configuration section called Telerik.Reporting. This section should be added to the Report Designer configuration file Telerik.ReportDesigner.exe.config:

<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section
            name="Telerik.Reporting"
            type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting"
            allowLocation="true"
            allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
    </configSections>
    ...
</configuration>

Using this section, you can control particular aspects of the engine such as the available rendering extensions and the cache management system which is utilized by the viewers. For more information, see Telerik Reporting Configuration Section.

The Telerik Report Designer offers additional configuration through its own custom configuration section, called Telerik.ReportDesigner:

<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section
                    name="Telerik.ReportDesigner"
                    type="Telerik.ReportDesigner.Configuration.ReportDesignerConfigurationSection, Telerik.ReportDesigner.Configuration"
                    allowLocation="true"
                    allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
    </configSections>
    ...
</configuration>

This section lets you specify the working directory of the Report Designer via a single attribute:

<Telerik.ReportDesigner DefaultWorkingDir="Examples">
</Telerik.ReportDesigner>
