Reporting
Contents

Telerik Reporting settings are defined in a custom configuration section called Telerik.Reporting. In order to process the configuration file correctly the .NET Framework requires this section to be the first child element in the <configuration> element, like this:

CopyXML
<configuration> 
    <configSections>
        <section
                name="Telerik.Reporting"
                type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=x.x.x.x, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"
                allowLocation="true"
                allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
    </configSections>
    …
</configuration>

                    <Parameter/>
                </Parameters>

                    <Parameter/>
                </Parameters>
          </Provider>
        </Providers>
    </Cache>

        <add />
        <clear />
        <remove />
    </AssemblyReferences>
</Telerik.Reporting>
