Dear Telerik,
I am evaluating the Telerik Reporting product. Can you point me to a simple example of how to implement this? I basically need to know how to create a simple report and connect it to a data source. I can add complexity after I understand the basics. Please advise.
Thanks,
Woody

Hi Jim,
We have never experienced such a problem before and in order to help you we need some more information:
From the error message it seems that you have problem with one of the Visual Studio packages and not explicitly with Telerik Reporting. However, the exact reason is not clear. You may try some of the advices we found here.
We are looking forward to hearing from you whether any of this is helpful.

Hi Svetoslav,
I encountered this issue on my workstation which is running Vista with Visual Studio 2005. I tried installing Telerik Reports on my laptop (XP/Visual Studio 2005) and it works fine. My laptop is the web server and the database server. My workstation references another server as the web/database server. Do I need to install Telerik Reports on the database server in order for it to work? Please advise.
Thanks,
Woody

Hello Jim,
Can you tell us the exact version of your Visual Studio 2005, i.e. Express/Standard/Professional etc. The "Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package" that has failed to load is Microsoft's and probably your VS installation is corrupt. Can you try to open a new Windows Form and see whether it will work. Did you try to follow the steps that are described in the article we already wrote about:

What to do if I get package load failures in the final release of VS 2005?

Hi Ross,
To clarify, I want to add a Telerik Report to a web site, not a project. When I Add->New->Telerik Report 2.0 to my website, I do not get the package load failure like I did when I tried to add a Telerik Report 2.0 to a project. However, I also do not get the report wizard. I don’t necessarily need to use the wizard as long as I know the steps it takes to create the report manually.
Do you have a simple example of creating a web report with Telerik Report 2.0 similar to the one you sent me for a project?

Hello Jim,
Each report is a .NET class like any other. There is no such concept such as Web Report or Project Report. Reports are the same no matter what type of project they are in. The only difference is the viewer that is used to display them. There is a WebViewer, which is an ASP.NET control and you can use it only in projects of type WebSite or WebApplication, and a WinViewer, which is a WindowsForms control and you can use it in WindowsForms projects. You can create all of your reports in a Class Library project and use them both in Win and Web applications simultaneously, since the reports are one and the same, no matter the project they are used from. For more information on organizing your solution, please read the Best Practices section. We advise our customers to place their reports in a Class Library project and the reference that project from their Win or Web project.
Having clarified all of the above, the topic for creating a simple report is the topic that you should follow, since there are not separate topics for WinForms and WebForms.
As for the package load failure, we really think that there is something corrupt with your Visual Studio and you might need to re-install it, since as far as we understand everything works fine on your XP machine. You did not mention whether you performed the steps that we sent you or not.
Kind regards,
Ross

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the information. Is there any reason why the report wizard doesn't appear when adding the Telerik Report 2.0 object to a web project?
Thanks,
Woody

Hi Jim,
The reason for that behavior lies in the architecture of the Visual Studio WebSite project. Files inside the App_Code folder are not treated as designable components.
By the way, did you manage to fix your Visual Studio installation and resolve the Package Load Failure?
