Install older version of the report on vs2010

[John]

We are converting our software from vs2008 to vs2010. we have been using the Report Q1 2009 as our reporting tool. when we try to add the Q1 2009 controls to the vs2010 toolbox they are greyed out. What the deal here. do we need to update to the current version to have the tools show up correctly in the toolbar?

Thanks

Hello John,

Visual Studio 2010 RTM was available at the beginning of 2010, so it is expected that the Q1 2009 version would not have support for it. The Q1 2010 version is the first one marked with the Visual Studio 2010 Ready sign and you should upgrade at least to it in order to utilize the new VS IDE.

I installed the Q3 2011 version and removed the following references from my project:    
    Telerik.Reporting
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing
    Telerik.ReportViewer.Design
    Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForm
   
I then Added the following reference pointing to the new Q3 2011 Version
    Telerik.Reporting
    Telerik.Reporting.Service
    Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForm

Now when I open my Project and try to view a report,I get an error stating:
"Object of type 'Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit' connot be converted to type 'Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit'".
And none of the report will display.

Hello John,

You do not need reference to Telerik.Reporting.Service unless you plan on using our Silverlight report viewer. Please check the required assemblies depending on your project (in your case Windows Form project) here: Deploying Windows Forms Applications.

The error you get can occur if the upgrade does not go well. Please start and run the Upgrade Wizard which would take care of updating all references of Telerik Reporting in your project. Rebuild your project after the upgrade and you should be all set.

Hi John,

In the Upgrade Wizard help article I've sent you, is duly noted that the wizard is part of Visual Studio. It is started automatically by default, but can also be started from the Telerik Reporting Menu by selecting "Upgrade Wizard" from it.
