Hello,
I am creating a report and targeting x64 as the platform.   If I click "Any CPU" things seem to work with the designer just fine - but if I use x64 - things start to go bad - if it is a simple report (just a textbox) I get - "The source of the report definition has not been specified"  which is not what i get when i have Any CPU.  And for our regular case  - an inherited report (report base template that extends from Telerik.Reports) with a SQL query - it It feels like the designer is maybe 32 bit. That seems off.  I am running Visual Studio 2010 professional.  Do i need a specific VS 2010 64 bit - not sure they specifically have that. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joseph,

Visual Studio is a 32-bit application, so the designer is restricted to x86 mode even on x64 platforms. The solution is to use different platform configurations: for "Debug" builds it is best to use "Any CPU", while for "Release" builds you can use "x64" instead.
