Changes to Web.config?

[Eric]

I have recently purchased Telerik Reporting Q2 2008 and created a few reports using the report viewer in a WebForm. The way I have things working as of now, I had to updated my project's Web.config file with the changes shown below. Are there other ways of deploying Telerik Reporting such that no changes are needed in the Web.config file? My product's upgrade process does not deal gracefully with changes to the Web.config and we have > 100 customers who would need to deal with manual Web.config updates if we were to release an updated Web.config file. Aren't there other ways of achieving the same end as the changes shown below? Is there a standard generic answer to my deployment-related question?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

There is no way to "workaround" this. The http handler is required by our Web ReportViewer and when you upgrade the Reporting assemblies, it should be updated as well.

All the best,
