  I have a couple of questions…

  First, I have multiple instances of Active Reports (11, 12, and 13) installed in Visual Studio. Is it possible to remove 11 and 12 from one particular project (not the entirety of Visual Studio). In one project, I wanted to copy an ASPX page with a report viewer, but that viewer was created in AR 11. Visual Studio promptly added AR11 references, which meant version 11 and 13 web viewers were giving incorrect version errors. (This isn’t a problem right now as I recreated that page).

  Second question/issue - I’m not sure if this is a Visual Studio issue, or Active Reports issue, but sometimes, when I copy a section report to another folder location, and rename the new report, it will rename the class names of both the new report, and the original report, unless I copy the report to the same folder. Here’s what’s happening;

  1. Section report in, for example, \Reports\Templates\Template.vb

  2. Template.vb gets copied to \Reports\SomeGroup\Template.vb

  3. \Reports\SomeGroup\Template.vb is renamed to NewReport.vb.

  What happens is, \Templates\Template.vb’s code behind has its’ class name changed to NewReport, along with the class name in NewReport.vb.

  If I copy/paste the file in the same directory, it’ll be something like “Template - Copy.vb”, which I can change, but that doesn’t change the class names (I would need to do that manually).

  Hello,

  There is no way to remove the AR11 and AR12 template for single project in the VS. You can replace all the AR11 and AR12 references with AR13 to run the project.Also, you can use the “Convert To ActiveReports13” option in Tool Menu bar of the Visual studio to upgrade all references.

  Second question/issue
  
  It is not related to the AR. AR does not change the name by default. In my understanding, it is related to VS behavior.

  Thanks,
