  I have installed 14.0.19484.0 using VS 19 version 16.9.0,. targetFramework=“4.6.2”. I tried to upgrade the website from AR 13.1.16872, When I add a new AR 14 Section Report (code based) and try to View a designer and I am getting the below error.

  Instances of this error (1)

  Hello,

  Please try after manually adding a reference to GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Serializer NuGet package.
  
  if the problem still occurs:
  
  Try to reset VS (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/resetsettings-devenv-exe?view=vs-2019)

  Thanks,

  Hello,

  You are using very old version of AR14. I suggest you to try with the latest version of AR14:
  
  https://global-cdn.grapecity.com//blogs/activereports/20210528-activereports-14-3-available/ActiveReports-v14.3.20938.msi

  In old version, there is issue with SectionReport Designer.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit
