Since R3 2023, all HTML5IntegrationDemo examples found in the Telerik Reporting installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Reporting R3 2023\Examples\CSharp) target .NET 6.
To work around the issue, open the .csproj file of each demo and set the target framework to the corresponding version.
The native Angular Report Viewer does not expose a 'setReportSource' or similar method that can be used to update the reportSource object of the viewer after initialization.
This means that the parameters or the report loaded by the viewer cannot be changed in code and I have to expose the report parameters and use Navigate To Report actions for loading different reports.
For my Object Data Source, I am using a nuget package that has a dependency on Microsoft.Extension.Primitives. The custom assembly is correctly registered in the designer's configuration file and the DLLs are copied to the Report Designer (.NET version) directory. I get this error:
Telerik.Reporting.Expressions.InvalidExpressionException: An error has occurred while executing function UsePrimitives(). Check the InnerException for more information. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives, Version=3.1.18.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'.

When using the HTML5 Report Viewers, if I override the GetDocumentFormats() method of the ReportsController and return a localized list, the export dropdown in the toolbar is still populated with the default values.
On the other hand, the available export formats list is respected in the email dialog.
In both scenarios, the dropdown with the rendering formats should respect the overridden method's return value.
The following exception can be thrown when setting the Value of a PictureBox to an invalid type:
System.ArgumentException: You can assign System.String, IImage, System.Drawing.Image or SkiaImage objects only.
at Telerik.Reporting.PictureBox.set_Value(Object value) This is misleading because an object of type System.Drawing.Image is not supported when using the Skia graphics engine. Passing an SKImage does not work either due to an error in the processing stage.
If you need to use a System.Drawing.Image object or an SKBitmap instance, you can take advantage of the DrawingFactory class.
When a report that has no significant content is added to a report book, an invalid entry inside the report book's ToC is added. The page number shown is zero and trying to navigate to the page throws an error "Resource with name ... not found."
When the service of the Web Report Designer is running in a .NET Framework application, the preview page of the WebServiceDataSource component displays [object Object] instead of the data string.
The WRD front end expects the ReportDesignerController's PreviewWebServiceData(DataSourceInfo) method to return stringified JSON but instead, it currently(R3 2023) returns a JSON.
As a workaround, the method can be overridden so that the string result is returned instead:
public override IHttpActionResult PreviewWebServiceData(DataSourceInfo dataSourceInfo)
{
var baseResult = (ResponseMessageResult)base.PreviewWebServiceData(dataSourceInfo);
var jsonString = baseResult.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
return Ok(jsonString);
}
I am getting an error message, even when setting the culture manually to 'en-US', that the culture 'aa' is not found. Tried other approaches to get the culture manually installed, but there shouldn't be a reason your code is pulling all cultures when 'en-US' is the one being manually set by my code and in the report designer.
I had a report book with only a TOC report and when I previewed it, I was met with an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception which did not make it clear what was causing the issue losing me a lot of time in debugging.
Once I added a report to my ReportBook the issue was resolved, however, the error message should be more meaningful.
The option for creating a new connection in the SqlDataSource of the WRD is disabled in the .NET Framework implementation of the ReportDesignerController.
I have a Multivalue Report Parameter in the report that gets fed by a data source and may have more than 1000 selectable values. It is a ComboBox.
When I search and select a value from the dropdown, the selected value may not be passed with the reportSource of the viewer if I click directly the Preview button, without clicking outside the selection popup first. The issue occurs randomly. If I click outside the popup first, the values are passed correctly. I cannot reproduce the issue with less selectable items.
Telerik.Reporting.Services.HttpClient version
17.2.23.1114
references a bad version of
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory
That has inconsistent references as can been seen from this error (from System.Private.DataContractSerialization 4.1.1)
##[error]src\Cms.Wpf\Cms.Wpf\Cms.Wpf.csproj(0,0): Error NU1605: Warning As Error: Detected package downgrade: System.Text.Encoding.Extensions from 4.3.0 to 4.0.11.

This results in a publish failure with .net 8 where warning are treated as errors by default when publishing.
A workaround is to add<NoWarn>NU1605</NoWarn>
When editing a report that has a watermark of type BackgroundOverlay with Sizing set to TopLeft, the design time preview of the watermark does not scale with the zoom level correctly.
The preview displays correctly only at 100% zoom level.
The report processing is stopped and the following message is shown when trying to preview a report that uses one of the available DataDirect drivers in a .NET Core application.
The same report can be previewed successfully in a .NET Framework application.
Requesting a feature to allow some sort of selection feature on the "Send Mail Dialog". The issue that we're having is if the user needs to email a report to 5 or 10 people it becomes very daunting, ugly and difficult for them to achieve this without making errors in typing out every single email.
Also, in most cases the user might not know the individuals email official email address in the organization so they have to go look up every single one. If there was a drop down selection or an auto predict while typing then once clicked it grouped up the name to make it look cleaner and easier for them to find the email addresses that would be wonderful. Here's an example of what it looks like right now.
When I try to export a ReportBook to TIFF as explained in Exporting a report to a multi-document format, I receive an exception related to the file '.../report/image.tif' that cannot be created.
When I create the folder '.../report', there is another exception message:
'The process cannot access the file '...\report\image.tif' because it is being used by another process.'
The above error was thrown the second time the ReportProcessor tried to access the 'CreateStream' method from the code snippet in the above article. The 'image.tif' file is created and contains only the first report from the ReportBook.
With version 15.0.21.112 the last exception is not thrown and the 'image.tif' file contains all reports from the ReportBook.
The Standalone Report Designer allows users to add Anchoring to an item even if its container has KeepTogether set to False. This is not valid and can break report definitions without a warning.
The reports can be fixed by editing the XML code of the definition manually and setting the KeepTogether property to True.
Since upgrade to openXML 3.0.0 we get exceptions at runtime when we want to create a report in XLS.
While a feature request has been filed here: https://feedback.telerik.com/reporting/1631967-openxml-renderings-should-work-with-documentformat-openxml-3-0-0-and-newer one could argue it is a bug. Anyway, i raise this issue here to have some extra attention to it.
