Missing dependency in Telerik.Reporting.*.nupkg

[René]

Telerik.Reporting Nuget package contains assembly Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.2.7.2.dll.

This assembly requires installed DocumentFormat.OpenXml v2.7.2. But this dependency is missing in Telerik.Reporting.nuspec.

Could not load type 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.ImagePartType' from assembly 'Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.2.7.2, Version=17.2.23.1114, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be' due to value type mismatch.

Hello Francis,

This is a known issue that appears when the referenced DocumentFormat libraries are of version 3.0 or newer. The issue is already logged on the feedback portal and I noticed that you have cast your vote for it which should further increase its priority - OpenXML renderings should work with DocumentFormat.OpenXml 3.0.0 and newer (telerik.com).

Currently, the workaround is to use version 2.20.0 or older of the DocumentFormat.OpenXml library to avoid this problem.

Hello Raptor,

Based on the provided information, the current installed version of Telerik Reporting assemblies is 13.0.19.116.
I confirm that there is a problem with DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll version 2.7.2+ that slipped in this release. The issue is fixed in internal build 13.0.19.118.

A possible workaround with this version is described in Telerik Reporting R1 2019 fails to load assembly DocumentFormat.OpenXml 2.7.2+ KB article.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused.

Regards,

Hi.

Isn't this still a problem in newest version 14.2.20.1021 ?
Missing dependencies to Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering and/or DocumentFormat.OpenXml ?

I have to reference it manually - else I get runtime generation running xlsx reports "Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RendererNotAvailableException: xlsx rendering format is not available."

Running .NET 4.8

Hello Lars,

The issue from  Telerik Reporting R1 2019 fails to load assembly DocumentFormat.OpenXml 2.7.2+ KB article was fixed in internal build 13.0.19.118. 

In general PowerPoint, Word, Excel are OpenXML formats and they require Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.dll and Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office.

Depending on the version of the Open XML SDK there are two options which assembly to reference:
    1. Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.dll supports DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll 2.0.5022.0 and 2.5.5631.0
    2. Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.2.7.2.dll supports DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll 2.7.2.0 and newer.

For additional information, please check Missing DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, XPS export options in viewers or "X rendering format is not available" error message KB article.
