Error openning Report Designer

[Tomashiba]

Hi,

I just installed Q2 2012 6.1.12.611 Reports but I am getting error message when starting the Report Designer:
The component
'Telerik.ReportDesigner.Packages.Toolbar2.ToolbarView' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/Telerik.ReportDesigner.Packages.Toolbar2;component/toolbarview.xaml'

After which a window with "Welcome" one tab is opend, no buttons or menues.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

We were able to reproduce this error on a machine that has VS2012 RC installed and we're currently investigating what is causing it. If you do not have VS2012 RC on the machine where you get the problem, we would appreciate if you provide us with more information how to pinpoint the culprit. We have the following questions/suggestions:

• Make sure that you have installed .NET Framework 4.0 Full Profile (the Designer requires the "System.Design" assembly that is not included in the Client Profile of .NET4.0).
• Test the report designer on another machine (to exclude the possibility of this being a local machine issue). If you cannot reproduce it on another machine, compare what differs?
• What is your dev environment - OS and IDE, installed frameworks.

All the best,
Steve

Hi,

Yes, the PC has VS2010 and VS2012 RC on it, should I try it on PC without VS2012 RC?

Had same issue here,

Solution was to remove all .net Framework 4.5 beta versions and re-install .net Framework Full 4.0.

I had VS 2012 Betas /RCs installed, but later uninstalled - however the .net 4.5 beta stuff was left on the system.

Hello Tomashiba,

We've already confirmed the problem when VS2012 RC is present on the machine, on other machines it is ok, so for the time being if you want to use the standalone designer, please use it on a machine without the RC available.

We apologize for the inconvenience and rest assured we're working on addressing this for subsequent internal build.

All the best,

Hi,

Since we need 4.5 beta because of this issue with radchart:

Is there any other workaround for this ?

Thanks

Hi Eduardo,

You can use Visual Studio to create reports for the time being and when you need those reports to be used in the standalone designer, serialize them to .trdx as shown in the Serializing Report Definition in XML help article.

Kind regards,

I never installed 2012 RC, but I have installed the RTMREL (11.0.50727.1 of VS, 4.5.50709 of .NET 4.5) and am having this issue.

[Steve]

Hi Will,

Please install the Q2 2012 SP1 that we just released and let us know if you're still having problems.

Hi Will,

This is a generic error not thrown by our product. A quick internet search lists available reasons for the issue. If you believe you received this error due to specific of our product, please elaborate on your scenario.

This happens when attempting to configure a Sql compact 4.0 data source within your standalone designer.

Here, try this.

Install Sql Compact 4.0, whip up an .SDF, and create a new report against it within your standalone designer.

If you get past the point where the wizard grabs the schema, let me know.  I'll reinstall everything, as it will be my bad.

If you get that error, then you might want to find out why.

Hi Will,

Actually there was a misunderstanding as I tried it with the VS report designer, where I used a different provided which is registered only for VS and it worked correctly with it. This provided however is not available as generic data provider and therefore is not available in the standalone designer. The SQL CE 4.0 generic provider has a check whether CommandTimeout is always 0, and if not throws the exception you posted. To workaround this problem you would have to manually set:

CommandTimeout: 0
ConnectionString: <your_connection>
SelectCommand: <your_select>
ProviderName: System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0

from the property grid of the SqlDataSource component.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Steve,

Could you write up an example - the exact code and where to place it. I've been trying to do that now for many hours and I seem to be missing something. So the db would be called test.sdf.

I would deeply appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello Karl,

Add a SqlDataSource component to your report and in the property grid you will see the mentioned by my colleague properties. If you do it manually (i.e., programmatically), create an instance of SqlDataSource and set the properties to a valid data in order to connect to your database.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Stef,

I'm sorry Stef, I've tried a whole number of branching possiblities based on your sugestions and I just can't seem to be making the right connection. Again I have spent many hours. Please show me how you build a connection to the file scheduler.sdf - located whereever... for me to get started on designing a report. What am I overseeing? A typical error msg is in the image attached.

Thanks,

Hello,

Here is an example for connecting to Northwind.sdf. Add a SqlDataSource component to your report and instead of using the designer, set its properties in the property grid:

• CommandTimeout=0;
• ConnectionString - Data Source=<file_path>\Northwind.sdf;
• ProviderName=System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0;
• SelectCommand - Select Employees.* from Employees for example

You will be able to use the generated fields in the expression dialogs.

I hope this helps.
