Hello, I've installed the Telerik reporting and visual studio (2005sp1) shows it as installed, however when I add a 'telerik report' to a my c# class library I am unable to bring up the report designer. The icon next to Report1.cs is the standard c# one, not the one in your 'getting started video'. When the file is selected, only the 'view code' button is visible on the solution explorer's toolbar. I did a repair on the installation but the problem remains. Any ideas?

Hello ongle,

From your description it seems that Telerik Reporting did not install correctly, either because of missing permissions or corrupted download. Before digging deeper in the problem, I will ask you to follow the instructions described in this KB article and verify that you've installed and using the latest version of the Telerik Reporting (v1.1). If you still have troubles, we will appreciate it if you share the OS you are using, as well as how you install the product (through network, locally, permissions, running anti-virus programs, etc). This will help us locate the problem for you.

 
Sincerely yours,

Hello Svetoslav,

Sorry for the delay in my response, I was working on other projects.

I tried your suggestion but that did not resolve the issue. After playing around with things I discovered a way to reproduce the issue. I know this is going to sound odd, but if you create a class library who's name contains a dot seperated "Telerik", the report designer will not come up when you add a new 'telerik report' to the project. So, if I create a project called "Reporting.Lib", it works. If I create a project called "Reporting.Telerik" or "Reporting.Telerik.Lib" it does not.

If you need more information to reproduce, let me know.

Hello ongle,

The problem occurs because the default namespace for your project is by default the project's name. It contains the word "Telerik" and that causes namespace duplication.

You should not have a default namespace that contains parts of our namespace, the same way you cannot  have a default namespace called "Something.System.Something", because it will conflict with the .NET Framework' "System" namespace.

To learn more about namespace duplication, please read the following Microsoft article.
