Converting reports from ActiveReports.
Environment
Product | Progress® Telerik® Reporting |
Report Designer | Visul Studio Report Designer |
Description
The Telerik converter from ActiveReports is built against ActiveReports 3 (build 5.2.1013.2). If you're using a newer version of ActiveReports, you will need to add an assembly binding redirect statement to your Visual Studio configuration file.
Currently, the converter only works with ActiveReports 3.
Solution
Examine the Global Assembly Cache (C:\WINDOWS\assembly) to check which version of ActiveReports you have installed.
-
Depending on the version you use, modify the following statements accordingly and insert them in your configuration file, usually located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.Config
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
name="ActiveReports3"
publicKeyToken="cc4967777c49a3ff"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect newVersion="x.x.x.x" oldVersion="x.x.x.x" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
name="ActiveReports.Viewer3"
publicKeyToken="cc4967777c49a3ff"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect newVersion="x.x.x.x" oldVersion="x.x.x.x" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
where the first x.x.x.x is the version of ActiveReports that you are using and the second x.x.x.x is the version mentioned in the "New Report Wizard".
Restart Visual Studio.
Add new Telerik Report to your project and start the Report Wizard. On its second step, select "Convert from existing report".
