Hi,

when I'm trying to convert XtraReports v8.2.2 report to telerik report, "XtraReports" is listed among Available Converters in the Report Wizard, however, the "Browse" button is greyed out. I
s it possible to convert a report from XtraReports version higher than v8.1 (build 8.1.6.0) to relerik? Or exactly version 8.1 must be used? Are you planning an update? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

The XtraReports report converter is built against v8.1 (build 8.1.6.0) of DevExpress's assemblies. If you use one of its hotfixes (as you mentioned 8.2.2) you should apply Binding Redirection procedure to redirect XtraReport references to the new assemblies in "devenv.exe.config".

Here is a KB article that explains the same issue with the ActiveReports converter, however, it can guide you how to redirect references to the
DevExpress's assemblies. The assemblies you need to redirect are:

  • DevExpress.Utils.v8.1, Version=8.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9b171c9fd64da1d1
  • DevExpress.XtraCharts.v8.1, Version=8.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9b171c9fd64da1d1
  • DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v8.1, Version=8.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9b171c9fd64da1d1
  • DevExpress.XtraReports.v8.1, Version=8.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9b171c9fd64da1d1
  • DevExpress.Charts.v8.1.Core, Version=8.1.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9b171c9fd64da1d1

Hi Daniel,

We have just noticed that the assembly names do not match so the binding redirect will not work in this case. In order to convert the XtraReports you will have to rebuild them against 8.1.6 version of the assemblies. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Chavdar,

the problem with disabled "Browse" button in Report Wizard is resolved. I've reverted to version 8.1.6 of Xtra Reports.

However, I have now different problem. Clicking on said Browse button does nothing. Wizard just closes and nothing happens.

Hello Daniel,

There seems to be some problem with the XtraReports installation. In order to track down the cause of the problem we will need to enable Visual Studio logging.

1. Close all instances of Visual Studio.
2. Please open the following file for edit (assuming default VS2005 installation, adjust the path if needed):

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config

and add the following XML node to it:

<configuration>   
  <system.diagnostics>  
    <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">  
      <listeners>  
        <add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\devenv.log" />  
        <remove name="Default" />  
      </listeners>  
    </trace>  
  </system.diagnostics>  
</configuration> 

You can of course change "c:\devenv.log" to a more convenient location if you want.

3. Start C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.ex and reproduce the crash. Close Visual Studio.

4. Send us the log file and we will try to identify the cause for the exception.


Kind regards,
Ross

Hello Daniel,

Unfortunatelly we have a bug in the XtraReports Converter. Resources needed for the dialog are missing. The fix will be available in the upcoming service-pack at the beginning of September.

Your Telerik points has been updated.
