WPF .Net 4.0 spp.config configSections 2.0 Telerik.Reporting.dll Load Exception

[Steffen]

It seems, that the 4.0 Assembly loader will not load/accept the Telerik.Reporting.dll, because this dll is targeted to 2.0 !

the Telerik.reporting.dll usally works, but when i need to add some AssemblyReferences..., i must use the .Net Configuration system. -> without the <configSections> block, it works!

<configuration>

    <configSections>

        <section

                name="Telerik.Reporting"

                type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting"

                allowLocation="true"

                allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>

    </configSections>

    …

  <Telerik.Reporting>
    <AssemblyReferences>
....

</configuration>

Hello Steffen,

Please check the help article about configuring Telerik Reporting in your application: Telerik Reporting Configuration Section. You need to specify the Telerik.Reporting assembly version. For example, for Q1 2013 v7.0.13.220 the configuration will be as follows:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section
            name="Telerik.Reporting"
            type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=7.0.13.220, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"
            allowLocation="true"
            allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
  </configSections>
.....
    <Telerik.Reporting>
        <AssemblyReferences>
            <add name="MyUserFunctionsAssembly" version="1.0.0.0" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="null" />
        </AssemblyReferences>
     </Telerik.Reporting>
   ...
</configuration>

If you try to extend the Standalone Designer configuration, the needed sections are already added and you need to reference your assembly only in the <AssemblyReferences> element as described in the Extending Report Designer help article.

I hope this helps.
