Since we have a number of common things in our reports we like to create a base class (derived from report). We put all the common stuff in the base class, including a few custom properties.
The Telerik report designer does not like this, after changing the base class from "Report" to "BaseReport" the designer does not render the report correctly any more, it only shows the report items (tables etc), not the report itself.
This behaviour is contrary to how VS normally handles this. This method of having a customised base class works for other VS components such as forms and datasets.

Hi Thys,
Please check my response in the following forum thread: Report inheritance (header, footer & data source).
There you can find details how to work with reports, when you use inheritance in VS, and other approaches for achieving the same result without using inheritance.
