Hi Ian Coetzer,

Yes, you can restrict the export formats to a subset you need, and it can be done by Configuring Telerik Reporting.

In your case you need to add the following to your settings file:

1. In the top of the configuration file:

<configuration>
<configSections>
   <section
name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting.Processing, Version=2.5.8.519, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"
     allowLocation="true"
     allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
</configSections>
…
</configuration>

2. And add the following section:

<configuration>
…
<Telerik.Reporting>
   <Extensions>
     <Render>
       <Extension name="IMAGE" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="HTML" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="MHTML" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="XLS" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="CSV" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="RTF" visible=”false”></Extension>
     </Render>
   </Extensions>
</Telerik.Reporting>
…
</configuration>

When I try this approach I receive the following exception:

Hi,
I tried with the below settings, but it resulted to error, but am not able to get only PDF & HTML format. Please suggest if there is any idea.

1. In the top of the configuration file:

<configuration>
<configSections>
   <section
name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting.Processing, Version=2.5.8.519, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"
     allowLocation="true"
     allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
</configSections>
…
</configuration>

2. And add the following section:

<configuration>
…
<Telerik.Reporting>
   <Extensions>
     <Render>
       <Extension name="IMAGE" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="HTML" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="MHTML" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="XLS" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="CSV" visible=”false”></Extension>
       <Extension name="RTF" visible=”false”></Extension>
     </Render>
   </Extensions>
</Telerik.Reporting>
…
</configuration>

Then i also tried removing the version, TokenKey etc. from the config section then also it resulted to error. Please suggest if there is any other idea.

<section name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting.Processing" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>

Thanks in Advance

Hi Dinesh,

I've attached a web.config file with the required settings. You just need to change the version of the referenced Telerik Reporting assemblies according to the one you use.

Hello Dinesh,

The web.config file I've sent is applicable for versions after Q2 2009, since we have reduced the number of assemblies required by Telerik Reporting in it, thus Telerik.Reporting.Processing.dll and Telerik.Reporting.Interfaces.dll no longer exist and are now part of the Telerik.Reporting.dll. Obviously you are using an older version (Q3 SP2) where those files still exists and respectively you should use the same approach as shown in the very first reply here e.g.:

Note the bolder red colored text - it specifies that the ReportingConfigurationSection is available in the Telerik.Reporting.Processing assembly and not Telerik.Reporting as in the web.config I've attached.

All the best,
Steve

I have followed all the instructions and now have a curious problem. On my development setup everything works fine. On my production setup, I get the following error when I try to view a report: <attached>.

My config file looks like this:

The production and development machines use the same files (including web.config and the Reporting and ReportViewer dlls). The error message is a somewhat vague, but I was wondering if you might have a suggestion for where to look.

Hello Dave,

You have not referenced (or deployed) the Telerik.Reporting.XamlRendering.dll assembly, which contains the XPS rendering extension. If you want to allow XPS export for the user, add reference (or deploy) the above assembly. If no XPS export is required, simply remove the <Extension name="XPS" visible="false"></Extension> line from the Telerik Reporting configuration section.

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Shahzada,

If you are using Q3 2011 as indicated in your previous post, make sure you do not have Telerik.Reporting.XamlRendering.dll assembly on your server. You do not need to add

<Extension name="XPS" visible="false">

</Extension>

to your web.config, simply do not add reference to Telerik.Reporting.XpsRendering.dll and you would not have XPS in the export options.

All the best,

Hi Shahzada,

The references screenshot is taken from your Visual Studio references, however you claim that the XPS export shows on your server - did you rebuild your application and re-deploy it (see Deploying Web Applications help article) after you remove the reference? Make sure there is no Telerik.Reporting.XpsRendering.dll assembly in your application bin folder.

All the best,
Steve

answered on 23 Apr 2012, 08:18 AM

Hello Shahzada,

This error means that you are referencing a rendering extension somewhere in your code or in your web.config file, but you do not have the required assembly that contains that rendering extension.
Please review the Deploying Web Applications help article to see the required assemblies and the optional assemblies that are responsible for DOCX, PPTX, XLSX and XPS rendering extensions.
Most likely you have not deployed those assemblies to your live site, but in your web.config you're using a rendering extension, which without those assemblies cannot be instantiated and throws an error. As explained in our first reply, if you would not allow your user to export to a certain format, the simply remove the line from your web.config.

Steve

export.PNG

as per your reference for Deploying Web Applications (http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/installation-deploying-on-web-application.html )

i have added two reference files "Telerik.Reporting.dll" and "Telerik.Reporting.OpenXmlRendering.dll".

and in web.config file

<Telerik.Reporting>
<Extensions>
<Render>
<Extension name="PDF" visible="true">
</Extension>
<Extension name="XLS" visible="true">
</Extension>
<Extension name="XLSX" description="Excel 2007 and above" visible="true">
</Extension>
<Extension name="DOCX" visible="false">
</Extension>
<Extension name="PPTX" visible="false">
</Extension>
</Render>
</Extensions>
</Telerik.Reporting>

but it shows all export options (see attached). on both remote server and even on development server

Hi Shahzada,

Judging by your screenshot, the only export format that should not show is the XPS. If you have verified that there is no Telerik.Reporting.XpsRendering.dll assembly in the bin folder of your application, make sure this assembly is not added to the GAC of your server. If so, please remove it as it is not necessary to add reporting assemblies to GAC. Your other option would be to explicitly hide it:

<Extension name="XPS" visible="false">

</Extension>

I've attached a sample project that works as expected. Compare both and make the necessary changes.

Hi Shahzada,

We've already provided explanation about this error in your previous post and you have not answered our questions whether you have these assemblies in bin and/or in GAC of your server. Without providing us with your project and screenshots of your bin folder and GAC of your server, we would not be able to help further.

Kind regards,
Steve

binFolder.PNG

here is screen shot of bin folder for the project you sent me and i publish it over server and having error (previous post attachment).

there is no any telerik related dll in GAC. because we have not installed telerik over server and we would not like to do that. just copy the dll in folder and add reference of these telerik dlls from that folder.
