Hi,

In Desktop Designer, I create a very simple Report with :

• a JSON datasource mapped to the report
• a Table with two colunms

I want to duplicate this table, so I select it and do a copy. After that, I select the detailSection and do a paste. The pasted table, in the Report Explorer look fine, but in the designer view it is not the case. And if I compare the TRDX files, an entire section is missing (the <Cells> section).

Attached files :

• Multi-zone.trdx : Before copy/paste
• Multi-zone-2.trdx : After copy/paste
• Screenshot.png : screenshot of the Designer where you can see the two tables and the Report Explorer

Thank you

PS: In additional informations, I specify ASP.NET MVC as Project Type, but it is not relevant.

When using a date parameter with AutoRefresh set to True in the Standalone Report Designer, selecting a new value from the date picker does not automatically refresh the report viewer to show the updated report. To make the new value take effect, you need to move the focus away from the date picker.

When upgrading my .NET Framework project with the Upgrade Wizard, the Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering assemblies, including the newer 2.7.2 and 3.0.1 ones, are not upgraded

All assembly references except Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering ones are updated. The upgrade wizard finishes without errors.

This is very annoying as I have to replace them manually,

When I export my report in Excel with the Standalone Report Designer for .NET,  the GDI engine produces the expected result, whereas with the Skia graphics engine, the Graph in the report is rendered with a bold font, although I use a regular/normal font.

Hello,

the search results in a PDF generated with report is not correct. Again...

Please fix this bug and add this scenario to your tests.

Steps: Search for a text in a pdf.

Hello Telerik Team,

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for the Web Report Designer that would allow dynamic configuration of design-time parameter values during initialization.

Currently, design-time values for report parameters are embedded within the report definition and can only be set manually using the Web Report Designer interface. While runtime parameter values work perfectly and can be passed dynamically through code, not being able to dynamically set design-time values causes significant limitations—especially during the report design process.

My Use Case:

In my application, I load data from a dynamic web service endpoint, and the service domain needs to be set at runtime. While this works fine during preview in my ASP.NET MVC project (where I pass the URL dynamically using report parameters), I run into issues when designing reports:

• During design time, the URL has to be manually entered into every Web Service Data Source just to fetch the model fields and avoid errors.

• If the domain name changes (e.g., due to staging/production environments), I must manually update the domain in every report and each Web Service Data Source, which is both time-consuming and inefficient.

• This becomes even more tedious in large projects with many reports and data sources.

So, my question is: Is it mandatory to pass design-time values (like the service URL) manually just for design-time purposes? If not, it would be incredibly helpful to have a way to supply these values dynamically during the Web Report Designer initialization, perhaps via a configuration option or external context.

Petar from the Telerik team mentioned that this would indeed be a valuable feature and encouraged me to submit this suggestion. You can view our discussion here: 🔗 Dynamic Web Service Domain Configuration in Telerik Report Designer Server

This capability would make designing reports much smoother and far more maintainable, especially for applications that rely on dynamic, environment-specific configurations.

Thank you for considering this request, and I appreciate your continued support and guidance.

Screenshots are also attached for quick reference, though they are already available in the forum link above.

Best regards,
Prabesh

Currently, when using External Stylesheets in the reports, the engine tries to first load the stylesheet as an embedded resource of the assembly. If it fails to load it from the assembly, a message is written to the trace along the lines of:

ESS: Attempt to load ExternalStyleSheet from EmbeddedResource from assembly Telerik.Reporting, Version=19.0.25.211 with resource name styles.xml is unsuccessful.

After this, the engine will try other ways to resolve the stylesheet such as from URI and if it succeeds, the report will render as expected.

This can create confusion because looking at the trace, one might think that there were errors with the rendering of the report because the stylesheet did not load but it was actually successfully loaded with one of the other approaches.

It would be better to write the errors to the trace only if the stylesheet does not load after all attempts.

To reproduce, use online web designer demos with Employee Sales Summary.trdx report.

Check the video https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cTfDlNnj4I1.

1. The main report opened in the designer has a Navigate to Report action.
2. Preview the report and trigger the action to open the second report.
3. Now, click on Design to go back to design time.

Expected: opens the main report

Observed: In design you see the second report

Additionally, the URL to the second report is absolute rather than relative path - the issue logged in Full system-path being used by REST Service as reference when linked by a 'Navigate To Report' action

I have created an abstract class in my report library that inherits from Telerik.Reporting.Report. When I try to load the project's assembly in the Standalone Report Designer to import those reports as TRDP, an exception is thrown while the application tries to load the assembly that there are report types that do not have a parameterless constructor.

To resolve the issue, I had to remove the 'abstract' modifier. However, that should not be necessary. The wizard should ignore abstract classes or at the very least, let me import the other report types while displaying a message that there are report types with parameterless constructors.

When trying to open reports from an assembly in the Standalone Report Designer so that they can be imported, if there are types that inherit from Telerik.Reporting.Report that do not have a parameterless constructor, this will cause an exception as it is required for the report types to have such a constructor, otherwise, the wizard cannot import them into TRDP.

In this scenario, the report types that do not have a parameterless constructor should be written to the trace or in the exception message dialog so that the user can see which are the problematic types and correct them.

We have reports that contain a table of images. This seems to work great in the designer and when generated to a PDF without accessibility turned on. However, with accessibility turned on and rendering to a PDF, it throws an exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

In the attached report, all items in the detail section have Docking set to Top.

In the Interactive view of the report designer, the report looks fine.

In PrintPreview mode though, some items overlap.

There is an issue in .NET 9 when using a mounted network drive. When resolving reports, I get the following exception:

The issue seems to be related to a regression introduced in .NET 9:

• For a network drive, System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath returns a path with \?UNC\ prefix
• Work with 'Mounted Network Drive' in .NET 9.0

Consider finding a way to work around this issue.

I pass the value of an Integer Report Parameter as '11000000000000003' from the viewer's setup. In the viewer though it appears as 11000000000000004. The wrong value 11000000000000004 is seen also in the 'parameters' request passed from the viewer to the service.

The issue is reproducible in the HTML5 Report Viewers and in the Blazor Native Report Viewer.

Currently, TIF images cannot be selected as pictureBox values from the file dialog of the Standalone Report Designer. However, the documentation states that it is a supported image format:

I have a .NET Framework 4.7.2 ASP.NET MVC project.

I am currently on Telerik.Reporting 19.0.25.211. I also have Telerik.Licensing package 1.4.10 installed on the project.

After upgrading my project to Telerik.Reporting 19.0.25.313, without touching the licensing package, in my .csproj file I'm seeing Telerik.Licensing.Runtime reference is set to 1.4.6.0, although the nuget package manager says that I have 1.4.10 installed.

In the project References also appeared a reference to the old Telerik.Licensing version after the update.
