Greetings! 

I'm trying to run the DatabaseCacheConfigurator.exe, select a PostgreSQL target backend, and create schema. I first ran into an issue where the Npgsql database provider was "not installed properly". I seem to have resolved that by installing what appears to be the last version of the Npgsql MSI (GAC) provider version 4.1.8.

This gets me past the not "installed properly" message, but now I receive the following:

Database driver installation problem: Cannot use factory for PostgreSql. Could not load type 'NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlTimeZone' from assembly 'Npgsql, version=4.1.8.0.....

The full stack trace is in the attached screenshot.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks!

Hello Telerik,

I'm currently developing an application using Blazor Server along with the balzor Report Designer/Viewer. 

We are a multitenant application that has multiples dbs per tenant. I'm facing the challenge of ensuring that connection strings are safe and flexible. I need each tenant to be able to create and print reports without interacting with the connection string at any time. So want to use Shared Data Sources.

Storing them in the report with the embedded in the report definition option is not safe nor flexible enough and the shared connection with alias and read it from appsettings file doesn't provide the level of security I require security nor flexibility. 

I have a custom implementation of the ISettingsStorage. That works well in the designer, it allows me to provide a shared connection string from custom sources (stored and encrypted in a db). But I can't seem to make the ISettingsStorage work with the ReportViewer, it seems like it allways tries to find the shared data sources from appsetings, wich is not desired. I'm using blazor designer and viewer in the same server.

TLDR: I need to use ISettingsStorage instead of appsettings in the ReportViewer with shared SQL Server data source.

Can you help me please?

hi everybody,

I would like to know if it is possible to have the asp.net mvc generic layout (the one we have when creating a web app) with report, so far I just have report layout.

any suggestion, thanks

Hi,

Is there a supported or recommended way to mark/tag a report definition with a version number?

Currently, we use:

• reports created in the standalone designer, saved to *.trdp
  
• ASP.NET Core .NET 6 application, that:
  • hosts the reporting REST service
  • uses EFCore IDefinitionStorage based report storage
  • has functionality to import *.trdp files into the database storage

It will be very useful to be able to automate the report import process on a deployment of the application so that it will only overwrite an existing report in the storage when it is a newer version.

Thanks.

Dear community,

I have a license for Telerik_Reporting_R2_2020_SP2_14_1_20_814_DEV, I didn't use reports for long time but I have an application that requires it. I use Visual Studio Community 2022 Version 17.8.6 and tried to re-install report but I still cant find a way to include a trdp file created with Report Designer R2 2020 in my newly created ASP.NET MVC app. I had a look on the internet but still facing this problem.

Is there someone who can guide me to solve this issue.

in advance, many thanks
Ray

We are experimeting a very slow perfomance when render report to xlsx format from version 17.2.23.1114 using .Net 7, render to pdf is perfect.
With Telerik 15.2.21.915 version report was fast using .net 5 

Test environment (.net 7 under linux container)
- api .net 7
- running in Linux Container. Pod Kubernetes
- nuget Telerik.Reporting (18.0.24.130)
- nuget Telerik.Reporting .OpenXmlRendering3 (18.0.24.130) with DocumentFormat.OpenXML 3.01 -DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Framework 3.0.1
- nuget Telerik.Reporting .WebServiceDataSource (18.0.24.130)
- nuget Telerik.Drawing.Skia (18.0.24.130)
- dockerfile includes next lines:
       RUN apt-get update
       RUN apt-get install -y libfreetype6
       RUN apt-get install -y libfontconfig1

We have this code to generate the report

 var reportSource = new InstanceReportSource { ReportDocument = _report };
 var reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();
 var renderingResult = reportProcessor.RenderReport(format.ToString().ToUpper(), reportSource, null);
 var telerikReport = new DocumentResult(renderingResult);
 return telerikReport;

When we use format="XLSX" RenderReport is very low, when use PDF in the same report time is perfect.

In last versions of Telerik, 15.2.21.915, perfomance with XLSX was perfect the same API but in .net 5

What can we do?
