Summary
When the Web Report Designer is initialized with non-English string resources (via window.telerikWebDesignerResources), the authentication type selector in the Web Service Data Source wizard behaves incorrectly. Even though "Sin autenticación" (the translated value of WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication) is visually selected in the dropdown, the wizard behaves as if a different authentication type is selected — displaying additional required credential fields and blocking progression.
The issue does not occur when using English string resources (WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication = "No authentication").
---
Steps to Reproduce
1. Configure a Blazor Web Report Designer with Spanish (es-CO) custom string resources using window.telerikWebDesignerResources:
// WebReportDesignerStrings.es-CO.js
export class WebReportDesignerStringsBase {
constructor() {
// ...
this.WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication = "Sin autenticación";
// ...
}
}
// Load resources before designer renders
window.telerikWebDesignerResources = new WebReportDesignerStringsBase();
2. Open the Web Report Designer in the browser with the Spanish resources active.
3. Add a new Web Service Data Source.
4. In the wizard URL step, observe the authentication selector — it shows "Sin autenticación" as the selected option.
5. Attempt to proceed through the wizard.
---
Expected Behavior
With "Sin autenticación" selected (equivalent to "No authentication"), the wizard should:
- Require only the Service URL field
- Not display credential input panels
- Allow proceeding to the next step without authentication configuration
---
Actual Behavior
Despite "Sin autenticación" being visually selected, the wizard behaves as if a different authentication type (Basic or 2-step) is selected:
- Additional authentication configuration panels appear or are required
- The wizard blocks progression expecting credential inputs
- The behavior is identical to what occurs when "Basic" or "2-step" is selected
---
Root Cause Analysis
The designer's compiled JavaScript (webReportDesigner) appears to compare the selected authentication type against the English string "No authentication" internally, rather than against a stable enum or index value. When the display text is "Sin autenticación", this comparison fails and the wizard falls through to a non-"no auth" code path.
Evidence: applying the temporary workaround of keeping WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication = "No authentication" (English text) in the es-CO resources file resolves the issue completely — the wizard functions correctly while all other strings remain in Spanish.
---
Workaround
In the non-English string resources file, keep WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication in English:
// workaround: keep English value until Telerik fixes internal comparison
this.WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication = "No authentication";
---
Minimal Reproduction
@* ReportEditor.razor *@
@page "/reportEditor"
@using Telerik.WebReportDesigner.Blazor
<WebReportDesigner DesignerId="wrd1"
ServiceUrl="apiReport/reportdesigner" />
// Loaded before designer renders via IJSRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync
window.telerikWebDesignerResources = {
WebServiceDataSourceNoAuthentication: "Sin autenticación",
// ... other keys
};
---
Additional Notes
- Both es-CO and en-US string resource files contain 971 keys each — the issue is not caused by missing keys.
- The designer correctly picks up the localized strings for all other UI elements; the bug is isolated to the authentication dropdown value comparison logic.
- Confirmed on version 19.1.25.521; not tested on earlier versions.
thank for your attention.
have a nice day.
Currently, if I want to see what the device info settings for an extension like the PDF are, I need to open the documentation - Telerik Reporting Configuring the Output Formats PDF Device Information Settings - Telerik Reporting, then copy the setting that I wish to use in my code.
It would be easier and safer if the device information settings for each format were exposed as a public enum/class. On that note, it would also be easier if the available formats were exposed as well, instead of manually typing them. For example:
public static classTelerikDeviceInfoSetting
{
public static class PDF
{
public const string DOCUMENTTITLE = "DocumentTitle";
public const string DOCUMENTAUTHOR = "DocumentAuthor";
public const string DOCUMENTSUBJECT = "DocumentSubject";
public const string DOCUMENTPRODUCER = "DocumentProducer";
public const string DOCUMENTCREATOR = "DocumentCreator";
}
public static class XLSX
{
public const string USENATIVEPAGEHEADER = "UseNativePageHeader";
public const string USENATIVEPAGEFOOTER = "UseNativePageFooter";
public const string SHOWGRIDLINES = "ShowGridlines";
}
}
public static class TelerikRenderingExtension
{
public const string PDF = "PDF";
public const string XLSX = "XLSX";
}
In the Standalone Report Designer File menu, please add the shortcuts next to menu items, like Ctrl + S for Save and Ctrl+Shift+S for Save All.
I changed several reports and then wanted to know how to save all reports at once.
When I have multiple reports open in the Standalone Report Designer, I am not able to rearrange/reorder them.
Refer to the tab behavior in Visual Studio, where you can drag one tab and move it to be in front of another tab.
When I display a report in a web report viewer, whose service is running on a server where one or more of the used fonts are not available, the first instance of the item(s) that use those fonts is being substituted with another font. The rest of the items do render with the original font, however.
This creates confusion and inconsistency. We should use the substituted font because it's used for measuring when using Print Preview mode in the web viewers, or when rendering to pdf via print/export.
The rendering extensions are currently loaded by the Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingExtensionManager all at once in the main thread when the report processing starts. This is redundant because one report processing requires one rendering extension to be loaded.
Currently, logarithmic axes do not support the LabelStep and MajorStep properties, which makes it difficult to control label density and avoid visual clutter for larger data ranges.
Adding support for these settings (similar to numerical scales), or providing a way to conditionally hide axis labels, would significantly improve readability and axis customization.
I have a Telerik report designed in the Standalone Report Designer. In the HTML5 Report Viewer, the report seems to be correct, but when I export the report in PDF, the word order changes.
The problem occurs in the HTMLTextBox when rendering in PDF and previewing in the Standalone Designer with both Skia and GDI+.
In the TextBox, the same text is displayed as expected.
When previewing in the HTML Report Viewer, the Arabic text seems fine.
In my Graph, I have set the AccessibleRole and AccessibleDescription. The alternative text is read correctly by the Acrobat Reader's 'Read out Loud' functionality.
The problem is that it keeps reading it multiple times.
When an HtmlTextBox contains a large HTML ordered list that exceeds a single page height, the generated PDF is cut at the pixel-level page boundary rather than at a text line boundary. This results in a line of text being visually split mid-glyph — part of the line appears at the bottom of one page, and the remainder is orphaned at the top of the next page.
To reproduce, create an HtmlTextBox that contains an <ol> with lots (>40) <li> items, so they span more than one physical page and export to PDF. Observe the page boundary where the list crosses a page — the split occurs mid-line.
Expected behaviour:
The renderer splits the HtmlTextBox content at a complete line boundary, consistent with how a plain TextBox behaves.
Actual behaviour:
The split occurs at the pixel-level page margin, cutting through a rendered text line.
Is there a telerik reporting xml schema definition document somewhere? This is so that we can more effectively get AI to automatically build telerik reports.
WPF report viewer crashes when launching it the second time. The issue appears to occur only when having a trial license activated.

I'm using VS 2022, the demo reporting (Telerik_Reporting_2026_Q1_20_0_26_211). When using the "Telerik Report 2026 Q1 Wizard", I select the following
See attach file when I finish the wizard.
I am using the ObjectDataSource component of the Standalone Report Designer. However, I get errors mentioning that types from `System.Private.CoreLib` cannot be loaded. This used to work in version 19.3.26.121. The workaround in the latest version is to manually register the `System.Private.CoreLib` assembly in the designer through `assemblyReferences` (File -> Options -> Add).
