This topic lists the errors and warnings that may appear in the Report Designer.

XRD101

Message Text

Build your solution and reopen this window for the Report Designer to operate correctly.

Why the Message Appears

The project was not built before the Report Designer started. The changes made to the project may not be visible in the Designer. Rebuilding the project can eliminate the issue.

XRD102

Message Text

The Report Designer is not initialized properly. Restart Visual Studio and rebuild your solution.

Why the Message Appears

We detected malfunctions in the Report Designer process. To resolve the issue, rebuild the project and restart Visual Studio. If you still have issues, please contact DevExpress Support and send us the following log files: designer_trace.log, external_trace.log, and UnhandledErrors.log (found in the Designer’s Logs folder or in the parent folder of the logs).

XRD103

Message Text

The Report Designer process failed to start. Please contact DevExpress Support and send us the following log files: designer_trace.log, external_trace.log, and UnhandledErrors.log (found in the Designer’s Logs folder or in the parent folder of the logs).

Why the Message Appears

It is not always possible to detect the error’s root cause immediately. In cases when we were unable to identify the cause of the issue, the Report Designer displays message XRD103 and asks users to send us the log files for detailed examination.

XRD104

Message Text

The Report Designer is unable to instantiate a user-defined data source type. Please contact DevExpress Support and send us log files with information about the problematic type. The designer_trace.log, external_trace.log, UnhandledErrors.log, and {guid}.log files are located in the Logs folder or in the parent folder.

Why the Message Appears

A class referenced in your code could not be instantiated for an uncertain reason. The Report Designer displays message XRD104 to draw attention to this case. Reach out to our Support Team so they can help you identify the cause of the error. Please send us the log files that may contain information about the incident and public API of the class that failed to be instantiated.

XRD105

Message Text

The report contains scripts. The following NuGet package is required to run these scripts: Microsoft.CodeAnalysis. Do you want to install it?

Why the Message Appears

Your application should have the Microsoft.CodeAnalysis NuGet package installed to compile and run report scripts. If this package is not installed, the Report Designer displays error message XRD105, which reminds you to install the package.

XRD106

Message Text

The version of DevExpress libraries (DLL assemblies or NuGet packages) referenced in the project does not match the version of libraries installed on your machine.

Why the Message Appears

The version of DevExpress libraries that you reference in your project should match the version of DevExpress libraries installed on your machine. If the versions do not match, the Report Designer detects this mismatch and shows the error message. To fix the error, either reference the version of the DevExpress libraries installed on your machine or install the version of DevExpress components that you reference in your project.
