Unable to cast object to type 'Telerik.Reporting.ReportSource'.

[Jon]

Hi,

After the upgrade to the latest version I am now getting the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'TimeAndAttendance.TimeAndAttendanceReport' to type 'Telerik.Reporting.ReportSource'.

This happens when I do the following.  This is bastardised code from the system but enough to generate the error.  

I am assuming and hoping that it's something simple to fix...

Regards,

Jon

    Dim report As TimeAndAttendance.TimeAndAttendanceReport = New TimeAndAttendance.TimeAndAttendanceReport()
    GenerateAndSendReportByRequest(report)



Public Shared Sub GenerateAndSendReportByRequest(ByVal report As Telerik.Reporting.IReportDocument)
    Dim reportProcessor As New Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor()
    Dim deviceInfo As Hashtable = New Hashtable()
    deviceInfo("FontEmbedding") = "Subset"
    Try
        Dim result As Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", report, deviceInfo)
    Catch ex As Exception

    End Try

End Sub

Just figured - this didn't appear in the breaking change list - maybe was in the release earlier this year.  If anyone has a similar issue use the InstanceReportSource as below...

Cheers,

Jon

Dim instanceReportSource As New Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource()
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = report
 result As Telerik.Reporting.Processing.RenderingResult = reportProcessor.RenderReport("PDF", instanceReportSource, deviceInfo)

Hi Amritpal,

The error message indicates the the project uses an HTML5 Viewer or its wrapper, but the viewer cannot connect to the Reporting REST service. Most probably relative paths need adjustment.

In addition, the HTML5 Viewer is a client-side widget which sends short string messages to the server. It is the Reporting REST service that creates objects on the server and serves rendered content to the client. For more details, please check this KB article.
