After upgrading to Telerik Reporting 2026 Q3(20.2.26.1007), we are unable to get any of our Object Data sources to load. With the 2026 Q2 release, we had to copy some of the .NET DLL's into the report designer folder for it to work, and after copying the DLLs, everything loaded without any issues.

We have three custom DLL's that depend on MySQLConnector (version 2.6.2) to pull the data from a MySQL DB.  When we upgraded to 2026 Q3, we copied our custom DLL's and added them to the config file as assemblyReferences. After copying them in, we added MySqlConnector.dll to the directory. We then received an error that it couldn't load System.Transactions.Local.dll 10.0.0.  I copied this DLL into the directory with the EXE for Telerik.ReportDesigner.Net.exe. After adding the DLL, we are now getting this error:

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Data.ObjectDataSourceException: An error has occurred while resolving 'objectDataSource1' data source: An error occurred while invoking data retrieval method.

Watermark Images with higher than the report rendering DPI are displayed clipped in PPTX rendering.

In PDF, preview of the designers and DOCX the same watermark is shown as expected.

If the DPI of the image is 96 as the default Windows machine DPI used for rendering, the Watermark is displayed correctly also in PPTX.

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.

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.

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.

We render reports to PDF with ReportProcessor.RenderReport, and several renders run in parallel in the same process (background jobs). Occasionally the report items show this error inside the generated PDF instead of their values: "An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'textBox8': Operations that change non-concurrent collections must have exclusive access. A concurrent update was performed on this collection and corrupted its state. The collection's state is no longer correct."

Exception and stack trace:

System.InvalidOperationException: Operations that change non-concurrent collections must have exclusive access. A concurrent update was performed on this collection and corrupted its state. The collection's state is no longer correct.

Scenarios:

  • Row groups with page breaks: Rows reference cell IDs that are not present on the current page, resulting in missing references.
  • Nested tables: Outer table rows reference IDs for cells containing inner tables, but those IDs are not rendered.
  • Plain tables and certain controls: These render correctly with no missing references.

Observed:

  • Violations of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 SC 1.3.1 / 4.1.2), with screen readers announcing empty rows and tools like axe-core reporting errors.

Expected:

  • 'aria-owns' lists only IDs that are rendered, and a row with no rendered cells is omitted (or rendered with role="presentation").

Release 2026 Q4 (Nov)

In Telerik Reporting versions before 18.1.24.514, I could change the order of items in a section by dragging an item up or down in the Report Explorer list.

If I try that now, nothing seems to happen on the screen. Dragging does not appear to change the position of an item in Report Explorer; the item appears to be fixed in place.  However, if I close the report and reopen it, the position of the item may have changed.

The same happens if I use Send To Back/Brink to Front on an item.  The new item position is not updated in the Report Explorer.

The data source preview in the web report designer does not show the full shape of the query. It has no horizontal scroll bar to verify the preview data for the entire projection.

Hello,

 it seems there is some glitch in blazor telerik web report designer. So its not possible, to use stored procedure with parameters as datasource

lets have input parmeter in SP, expecting "some value", how to configure it for report? Only person, which is designin report, puts the value in as constant.
@Typ=1 

1) - web report designer doesnt remember sql connection type(Choose data connection): Shared vs EMBEDED. Always fall to shared, when reopening report(but was configured as embeded).

2) - web repor designer, not applying DEFAULT "Configure design time parameters" VALUES, and also "Configure data source parameters". They are correctly stored in TRDP, they are visible in sql wizzard steps, but ALWAYS passed as NULL to the datasource when OPENING report. 
= so report is than messed up/or datasource invalid. 

**NOT BUG, ENHANCEMET: 3) - allow filtering in SQL datasource wizard "Stored procedure". Normally there is hundred of SP and its pain to pick one. OR allow to write SP directly

4) - when using SQL datasource, its not getting filed values correctly, this command is executed:
exec sp_executesql N' SET FMTONLY OFF; SET FMTONLY ON;exec [dbo].[IMS_PRINT_GETSET] @Typ,@ID;',N'@Typ nvarchar(1),@ID int',@Typ=N'1',@ID=30
in sql wizzard, there is command: "exec [dbo].[IMS_PRINT_GETSET] @Typ,@ID;"
how to solve that?
You are not ALWAYS allowed to modify SP. just consume as DATASOURCE, so its NOT VALID.
IF 1=0 BEGIN
        SET FMTONLY OFF
    END

iam unable to use version 1007-its not compatibile in project with telerik.blazor 15.1 (conflict in some skia or document proccesing nugets), but its not the case.

example:
Video demonstrating(reopened existing report), all described points + profiler result.

telerik sends - WRONG:
exec sp_executesql N' SET FMTONLY OFF; SET FMTONLY ON;exec [dbo].[IMS_PRINT_GETSET] @Typ,@ID;',N'@Typ nvarchar(4000),@ID int',@Typ=NULL,@ID=NULL
telerik SHOULD send:
exec sp_executesql N' SET FMTONLY OFF; SET FMTONLY ON;exec [dbo].[IMS_PRINT_GETSET] @Typ,@ID;',N'@Typ nvarchar(4000),@ID int',@Typ=N'1',@ID=30

TSQL demo procedure(one procedure for multiple sources - real world usage):
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[IMS_PRINT_GETSET]
@Typ INT,@ID INT
AS
BEGIN
  SET NOCOUNT ON;

  --!!TELERIK BUGFIX, but you are NOT ALWAYS permited to modify SP!!:
   IF 1=0 BEGIN
        SET FMTONLY OFF
    END  

IF @Typ=2 BEGIN
SELECT TOP 500 * FROM vTabOrders_active
RETURN
END

IF @Typ=1 BEGIN
SELECT TOP 500 ID,CisloZakazky,Nazev,Poradi FROM TabXYZ
RETURN
END

END

 

Thanks, even for some hotfix ideas.

Problem Statement
Our production users rely on Excel for downstream analysis (formulas, filtering, sorting, pivoting, and ad hoc insights).
Current Telerik Excel export is layout-first (pixel-perfect), which preserves visual report structure but introduces merged cells, blank spacing rows/columns, decorative styling, and images.

For large datasets, this causes:

significant post-processing overhead,
slower export pipelines,
less usable spreadsheets for analytical workflows.
Business Impact
High-volume production exports with large row counts.
Users need data-centric Excel files, not print-layout replicas.
We use the same .trdp for PDF and Excel:
PDF requires full visual fidelity.
Excel requires clean, tabular, analysis-ready output.
Lack of built-in data-only mode forces custom cleanup logic, increasing maintenance risk and runtime cost.
Requested Feature
Add a built-in Excel Data-Only export mode (similar to Crystal Reports behavior), optimized for analytics and scale.

Proposed behavior (Data-Only mode)
Export as a flat tabular dataset (header + detail rows).
Preserve native data types (date/number/boolean) and formulas where applicable.
Avoid layout artifacts:
no merged cells (unless explicitly requested),
no decorative blank rows/columns from visual layout,
optional suppression of images/shapes/charts.
Optional minimal formatting only:
keep number/date formats,
remove decorative styles/fills/borders by default.
Optional toggles:
include/exclude report header/footer rows,
include/exclude groups/subtotals,
include/exclude hidden/report-only visual items.
Keep worksheet gridlines visible by default in data-only mode.
Optimize for large datasets (streaming-friendly, reduced memory overhead).
Suggested API / Configuration (example)
DeviceInfo or rendering setting, e.g.:
ExcelMode=DataOnly (default remains Layout)
IncludeImages=false
IncludeDecorativeFormatting=false
PreserveDataTypes=true
PreserveNumberFormats=true
FlattenGroups=true
Why this matters
This feature would allow teams to:

use one .trdp for both PDF (visual) and Excel (data),
eliminate expensive post-processing,
improve performance and reliability at production scale,
deliver spreadsheets that are immediately usable for business analysis.
Current Workaround
We currently perform custom post-processing to rebuild a clean workbook from rendered output (strip layout effects, remove visual artifacts, compact rows/columns).
This is complex, expensive, and fragile compared to a native renderer capability.

Request
Please consider adding this feature to the Telerik Reporting roadmap, or provide an officially supported pattern to achieve equivalent data-only output for Excel at scale.

After the REST report service renders a report for the first time, the ASP.NET Core process can no longer exit on its own. On shutdown (Ctrl+C, SIGTERM, or stopping from the IDE) the host logs "Application is shutting down...", every hosted service stops, and Main returns, but the process stays alive because the report-rendering queue’s foreground worker threads are still running. In containers it is only ended when the platform's grace period expires and it is killed (SIGKILL), so every stop or restart of an instance that has rendered a report takes the full grace period.

I use the Verdana font in CheckBox items.

In HTML5 and Blazor Report Viewers, the characters like 'p', 'q ', and 'y' appear cut off, just like in this issue:

https://feedback.telerik.com/reporting/1719807-the-text-styled-with-fonts-like-verdana-may-appear-cut-off-in-web-report-viewers

The workaround with top and bottom padding doesn't work for CheckBox, though.

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.

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.

The bug has two requirements for occurring:

  • The system locale(culture) must use a comma as the decimal separator
  • The report must contain at least one item, which takes the full available width of the report sections. Or an item may be docked to a section, which results in the same width as that of the section.

When those two conditions are met, the report will fail to render, and an error message stating that one of the numeric values in the report cannot be parsed. For example, the message may look like this:

One or more errors occurred. (The numeric portion of 170.01mm cannot be parsed as a unit of type Mm.)

To avoid the issue, slightly decrease the width of the item so that it does not occupy the full width of the report section. If Docking is used, disable it, or wrap the docked item in a smaller container.

Alternatively, a culture with a dot-based decimal separator may be used.
