I am trying to convert some of our reports from ActiveReports (5.2.1013.2) to Telerik Reports (Q1 2009). While using the Telerik Report Wizard, I am able to select ActiveReports from the Available Converters and browse to the dll that contains the ActiveReports reports. After I select the dll, no reports appear. Please provide some insight on this problem.

Hello Tom,
This would only happen if the version of the ActiveReports reports is different than the one our converters are compiled against. In such cases you need to add binding redirects in the VS devenv.exe.config file as explained in this KB article: Converting reports from various versions of ActiveReports.
I've tested locally just in case to make sure it is working with the latest version of Telerik Reporting Q2 2009 and it does work (see attached screenshot).
If still having problems, please send us screenshots of your GAC and devenv.exe.config to verify you've setup everything correctly.
Kind regards,

I tried using the Q2 2009 build, but have the same results. Also, I am using VS9. The 'Converting reports from various versions of ActiveReports' mentions VS8. Nonetheless, I have not edited the devenv.exe.config of either version.

Hello Tom,
Visual Studio version is not relevant in this case and it would work for both. We have the following questions/suggestions:

Visual Studio version is not relevant in this case and it would work for both. We have the following questions/suggestions:
- verify that the reports in the compiled assembly are visible via reflection i.e. they're public.
- verify that this assembly can be loaded i.e. if it depends on external assemblies they should be present and capable of loading as well.
- make sure that the compiled assembly is compiled against that specific version (5.2.1013.2), otherwise the converter would not be able to show the reports.
