After installing the latest version, the WebServiceDataSource wizard does not send query parameters.
When the report is previewed, the WebServiceDataSource performs the request correct and the expected result is returned.
The issue is a known problem for Skia and Skiasharp.
It looks like the function MatchTypeface is deprecated and was removed with this Skiasharp PR.
Recommended workarounds are to set FontEmbedding option to "Full" or to use TrueType fonts.
When rendering a Report in PDF with Skia Sharp, the Arial Bold Italic font is rendered as Normal. Arial Bold and Arial Italic fonts are rendered correctly.
When rendering with GDI+ all fonts are displayed correctly.
The following exception is thrown when setting up the .NET 6, .NET 7, and .NET 8 demos with version 17.2.23.1114 to utilize Reporting REST Service Redis Storage. The storage is configured to use the StackExchange.Redis version 2.0.601 with Telerik.Reporting.Cache.StackExchangeRedis.2:
Error registering the viewer with the service. An error has occurred. Method not found: 'Boolean StackExchange.Redis.IDatabase.StringSet(StackExchange.Redis.RedisKey, StackExchange.Redis.RedisValue, System.Nullable`1<System.TimeSpan>, Boolean, StackExchange.Redis.When, StackExchange.Redis.CommandFlags)'.In the previous Reporting versions, 17.1.23.718 and 17.0.23.118 the Redis storage with the same setup works as expected.
To allow localization for the WebReportViewer in Version 17.1.23.718 and before, it was enough to provide a customized Version of "telerikReportViewer.stringResources.js", which extended the property "window.telerikReportViewer.sr".
This worked for both, the WebReportViewer and the Preview of the WebReportDesigner. With version R3 2023 SP1 (17.2.23.1114), this approach does not work anymore.
If the file `WebReportDesignerSettings.json` doesn't exist before running the Web Designer REST Service, the latter will create it. However, the file will remain locked and the service will throw the exception:
"The process cannot access the file '/app/Telerik_Reporting/WebReportDesignerSettings.json' because it is being used by another process."
When the file exists, the problem will be avoided, which leads to the workaround - create the file at a starting point of the application. Here is a sample code:
static void InitFile()
{
var path = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Telerik Reporting", "WebReportDesignerSettings.json");
File.Create(path).Close();
}
When my application runs in full trust permissions set, the following error is thrown if I have used the Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering NuGet package and try exporting to any of the OpenXML formats :
ERROR: Attempt by security transparent method 'Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.Spreadsheet.Workbook..ctor()' to access security critical method 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.SpreadsheetDocument.Create(System.IO.Stream, DocumentFormat.OpenXml.SpreadsheetDocumentType)' failed.
The Export dropdown menu looks like the following image when using Kendo UI 2023.2.606+
We upgrade to 17.2.23.1010 and after going through the report Upgrade Wizard we are getting this error for the CheckBox item:
Error CS0266 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Drawing.ContentAlignment' to 'Telerik.Drawing.ContentAlignment'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
The option for creating a new connection in the SqlDataSource of the WRD is disabled in the .NET Framework implementation of the ReportDesignerController.
I am rendering Telerik reports (version 17.2.23.1010) with custom code on Linux Docker in .NET 7 with SkiaSharp. When I have Grouping in the Report, I receive the following exception:
An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.

at Telerik.Reporting.ReportPackager.UnpackageDocument(Stream packageStream)Without Grouping the report is rendered fine on Linux.
On Windows, everything runs fine as well.
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.
After updating the Telerik Reporting packages to v17.2.23.1010 and opting out to still use the Gdi graphics engine, when I attempt to render a report to PDF on Linux, the rendering fails with the following error:
Error: 0 : An error occurred while rendering the report in separate thread: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

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."
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.
I am preparing report having Arabic and English text.
In the Standalone Report Designer for the .NET Framework, Report Preview and exported documents, including PDF are fine with R3 2023 and older versions from 2023.
When I render the same report in PDF in .NET 7 WebApi or with the .NET 6 Standalone Report Designer with R3 2023, the Arabic text is broken. The same look as expected with R2 2023 SP1 and previous Reporting versions.
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.
