I just inherited an old reporting website that I am trying to update. I didn't write it, but needed to convert to .net 6.0 for API compatibility. I was getting an error "Cannot access the Reporting REST service." but followed this guide https://www.telerik.com/blogs/embedding-beautiful-reporting-aspnet-core-web-applications and adding the ".AddNewtonsoftJson();" part now makes it so that I instead get an Exception "The extension is not supported."

I have trdp files. I updated the path so the IReportServiceConfiguration points to the correct directory. I set a breakpoint in my ReportController ctor and it gets hit when I try to load the report page, but then I either get the error "Cannot access the Reporting REST service. (serviceUrl = '/api/reports/'). Make sure the service address is correct and enable CORS if needed. (https://enable-cors.org)" or the one about the file extension. I've followed all the guides for enabled CORS. Do I have to do any kind of MIME configuration to support the TRDP files?
Please advise. Thank you

Hello Alix,
Thank you for the provided information!
Usually, such a problem occurs when there is a mismatch between the versions of the Telerik Reporting references in the project(s).
Please make sure that the same version is used for all Telerik Reporting references including the scripts, templates, stylesheets, etc. in all of the projects where you are using Telerik Reporting.
My recommendation would be to use the Telerik Reporting NuGet packages, if you are not doing so already, because it is the easiest way to keep a .NET project up to date with Telerik Reporting. If you have any Telerik Reporting assemblies referenced in the project, please remove them and add their corresponding NuGet package. When the nuget packages are used, usually all that needs to change after an update is a few references to the resources of the Report Viewer/Web Report Designer. Though, please keep in mind that you need to set up the private Telerik feed beforehand - Adding the Private Telerik NuGet Feed to Visual Studio through the NuGet Package Manager or NuGet CLI - Telerik Reporting.
If the issue persists after making sure that there are no old references/version mismatches of the Telerik Reporting references, please send me a sample project where the problem is reproducible or the following logs:
- Trace log - How to troubleshoot errors in ASP.NET Core projects - Telerik Reporting
- Fiddler Jam log - First Steps with the Chrome Extension - Fiddler Jam (telerik.com)
I will be looking forward to receiving an update from you.
Regards,
Dimitar
