  Hello
  
  I’ve been upgrading a project from VS2013 with AR7 to VS2019 with AR13. I got a few issues that become solved with latest AR13 releases, but now I’m having a strange behaviour that start when I detect a problem with chart subreport.
  
  All my section reports that were converted to AR13 are working OK, except the ones that use a subreport with a chart on it.
  
  All my section reports from my old project were created inside “app_code” folder and I keept them like that.
  
  These are the issues that I’m detecting:

  1. When creating a subreport outside de “app_code” (named “secreport_inside_app_folder”)
     
     I can went to design mode but there are two code files:
     
     secreport_inside_app_folder.vb
     
     secreport_inside_app_folder_desiner.vb
     
     The first one it’s like a normal class and the second it’s related to the report.
     
     I don’t see this behaviour with the old section reports from AR7.
     
     The section reports from AR7 (that are working ok) they just have on code file. There are just two extensions *.vb and *.resx

  When moving this subreport to “app_code” folder, there is no change in the behavior I can still select the “design view” without problems.

  2. When creating the subreport inside “App_code”, the file by default has the “build action” as “content” and not “compile”. After change it to “compile” I get an error in “design view”

  After calling the “design view” the section report is presented as a class

  Hello,

  Could you please try after adding the following dll in your project:
  
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.dll

  Also, are you observing the above issue with subreport containing chart? or with all report?

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit

  Hello

  The Chart issue was related by a parameter that in AR7 was using a default value, with AR13 I just removed the default value and it’s ok now.

  The point 1) and 2) that I report are related to any kind of section report.
  
  Fom this picture, “rep_bigc_qtot_chart_sub” it’s a section report created by AR7 and converted to AR13, “rep_bigc_qtot_chart2_sub” was created with AR13.

  

  The section reports “rep_bigc_qtot_chart2_sub” it’s accessible in design view:
  
  
  
  All my code it’s inside “rep_bigc_qtot_chart2_sub.Designer.vb” and at the end the section report works.

  Hello,

  When I try to add a new SectionReport in App_Code folder, it will show only .vb File. Also, on upgrading any previous report to AR13, it shows only .vb file (not .desginer.vb file). when I right-click on the report to view designer, it opens the designer correctly. Also, it is not recommended to use report file outside the “App_Code”.

  Also, I am not able to replicate the design view error at my end.

  Could you please confirm if I am missing something at my end or share the stripped down report with us.

  Thanks,

  Hello

  Like I said, no problems with upgrades from AR7 to AR13. The problem is when I add a new section report inside “App_code”. Check this small video.
