The Telerik Web Forms Report Viewer Form VS item template does not install the Telerik.Reporting.Services.WebApi package. However, the controller created with this template has a using statement for it.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a new Web Forms project.
2. Right click on the project name > Add > New Item...
3. Choose Telerik Web Forms Report Viewer Form <REPORTING_VERSION>.
4. Build the project.

Expected behavior
The build succeeds.

Actual behavior
The build fails due to the missing package.

Currently, the is permission for disabling saving, but it disables only the "Save" button.

I would like to be able to disable the "Save As" button and keep the "Save" button active, or vice-versa.

The data source of my report contains grouping string values, among which are the '10000' and '1010Q'. These two values are always treated as the same string, and the corresponding records fall within the same report group, which is unexpected:

 

Use SqlDataSource SelectCommand xml element instead xml attribute - it allows to write complex sql requests in any tool and just put it into xml without changes and have it well-formatted and readable:

So, instead of

save it as

 

or even

WebReportDesigner (Blazor) - permission to restrict "Build new data connections" and allow to use only "Select from existing data connections".

It isn't required, but would be nice have button "Test connection" in the bottom enabled to verify predefined connection

Currently, the WinForm report viewer fetches configuration (specifically the connection string for any named connection strings defined in reports) directly from appsettings.json, however, it would be useful if the report viewer could take into account an injected IConfiguration since there are scenarios where the configuration may not exist in appsettings.json or a preferred or more up to date user selected value has been added to the configuration from a different source (such as a userSettings.json or secrets.json).

Some background of my use case:

I have a desktop WinForms application targeting .NET 8.0. It usesTelerik.Reporting 19.2.25.813 and Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForms 19.2.25.813 to display reports.

The reports are TRDX files designed with the 64-bit version of "Report Designer".  The report viewer is being displayed in a dedicated WinForm named FrmReport which configures the reportViewer control to use a UriReportSource pointing to the folder on the user's C:\ drive containing the report files. The reports are designed to use a named connection called ReportsConnection which is configured/saved as a shared connection with Alias ReportsConnection in Report Designer.

The default reports connection string is saved in the appsettings.json file.  Upon application startup users select a database connection from a list of saved/remembered connections and the desktop WinForms application saves the user selected ReportsConnection to a configuration file named userSettings.json.  Both appsettings.json and userSettings.json are configured as sources for IConfiguration with reloadOnChange = true.  After a user selects a database connection and the selected connection string is written to userSettings.json, the configuration is reloaded so that the injected IConfiguration from the service container will have the new, user selected value for ReportsConnection.  At this point, IConfiguration has the updated the named ReportsConnection with the desired connection string, which almost always differs from the default one defined in appsettings.json.

However, when loading the reportViewer, the reports unconditionally connect to the server and database defined in the default connection string from appsettings.json, not the user-selected connection string even though the injected IConfiguration has the updated user selected connection string.

Currently, the only way to set ObjectDataSource parameters as nullable is by typing this manually in the `DataType` property as follows:

Consider allowing to do this through the "Edit Parameters" dialog:

I use an approved government font for the reports. I have specified it in the `privateFonts` option of the report engine configuration. However, on Linux, it is not picked up during rendering. In FontForge, the font shows the following warning:

On Windows, it causes no issues.

In the latest version (19.2.25.924), adding assembly references for assemblies with no public key raised the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", and the designer restarts. This error then occurs every time I open the designer, with Options => Assembly References no longer visible.

We are looking for SBOMs in either CycloneDX or SPDX format to support our internal compliance and security processes.

I have enabled accessibility in my report viewer. The majority of the items do not cause any issues when using a11y scan tools like "Accessible Web Helper". However, shapes and empty text boxes are rendered without a "role" attribute, but with "aria-label", which causes conflicts with the a11y tool I am using. It states "aria-label attribute cannot be used on a div with no valid role attribute".

I cannot localize the messages of the Angular and React report viewers using the suggested approaches:

• Angular Report Viewer Localization - Telerik Reporting
• Localizing the React Report Viewer - Telerik Reporting

The only alternative is to use the approach from the Localization of the HTML5 ReportViewer Explained - Telerik Reporting article, which I can do only by loading the string resources script in index.html of the SPA.

I would like for there to be a feature in the report designers, where when I use the SqlDataSource component, the designer automatically picks up what fields I am using in the report, and edits the SQL query's SELECT statement to include only those fields.

To clarify our usage scenario: we design reports directly against SQL tables, stored procedures, or views from the start. The report definition is dynamic and often driven by user input, so we rely heavily on runtime evaluation. In our current reporting system, the optimization happens automatically during execution: The engine inspects the report layout and selection formulas, then generates SQL that includes only the fields actually used. This means the designer doesn’t need to manually prune unused fields — the runtime engine handles it intelligently.

In Telerik Reporting, we envision a similar behavior: once the report definition is finalized (whether in the designer or programmatically), the engine could analyze which fields are referenced in expressions, filters, groupings, visibility conditions, etc., and optimize the data retrieval accordingly. This would be especially beneficial for stored procedures or views with wide schemas, where only a subset of fields are relevant to the report logic.

I have a string parameter with `autoRefresh` set to `true`. In the report viewer, it displays a textbox as a parameter editor. However, the report viewer refreshes on every "keydown" event, which can be frustrating for users. In the Standalone Report Designer, the report is refreshed only after the textbox is unfocused.

I have cascade parameters that depend on other parameters (check the Product Line Sales report for an example). I have set these parameters with `autoRefresh` of `false`. In the Standalone Report Designer, once I change the value of a parameter, the dependent parameter also changes automatically. However, this is not the case in the Native Angular report viewer.

I am using the ASP.NET Web Forms report viewer. I do not have a reference to the https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/themes/10.2.0/default/default-ocean-blue.css stylesheet in my source code, but the viewer adds such automatically during initialization. This causes issues because my app runs offline and shouldn't have such dependencies. Also, I already have loaded a reference that is hosted locally in my app, so the CDN one is obsolete.

I would like to be able to assign an event handler to the report's Error event, just like how it is possible to do so with the other report events, such as "NeedDataSource".

When importing a report with the Standalone Report Designer for .NET, if the report or its items use report events, they are not automatically imported into the TRDP file.

It is currently necessary to manually type the method names in the corresponding properties in the report designer.

Visual Studio 2022, Telerik Reporting 2025 Q2, Visual Studio Designer, C# code, running VS as admin, VS version is Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.14.13 (August 2025)

A few days ago, the data explorer window stopped functioning, while it seems to be around the same time of the last VS update, I'm not 100% sure.    The data explorer window just does not populate at all, appears to not update the screen at all (so you see whatever was there).   I have tried system restarts, repair install on Telerik Reporting, closed the data explorer window and opened it again, searched for possible answers - nothing.  I can run the report in Preview so the data connection is fine.   Attached is a screenshot of when I open the Data Explorer - as you can see while the data explorer window shows, the contents is what was there previously.  If I leave it open and restart VS the window comes up all white.   This is happening for all reports (14 in this project).

Only VS extensions installed are AWS Tookit and Telerik.

VS is not showing any errors in the output window, the option for "Show output from", at least initially, has no entries for Telerik

 

I am using the new Coded Reports feature in the Standalone Report Designer for .NET, and I have a class library with reports, that depends on another project.

When I try to load a report from the reports class library, I get an error that the dependent project's assembly cannot be loaded despite being present in the report folder's bin directory.
