  All of the implicit conversions from System.Drawing.XXX to GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.XXX no longer work after upgrading from v18 to v19. I also need to be able to convert the OTHER direction.

  I made a workaround for Image, but need for Font, etc…

  Hi,

  You can create a simple extension method for font conversion as well.
  
  Sample Code:

      public static class FontExtensions
      {
          public static System.Drawing.Font ToSystemFont(this GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.Font arFont)
          {
              return new System.Drawing.Font(
                  arFont.Name,              
                  arFont.Size,              
                  (System.Drawing.FontStyle)arFont.Style, 
                  (System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit)arFont.Unit,                
                  arFont.GdiCharSet,        
                  arFont.GdiVerticalFont    
                  );
          }
          public static GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.Font ToARFont(this System.Drawing.Font systemFont)
          {
              return new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.Font(
                  systemFont.Name,              
                  systemFont.Size,              
                  (GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.FontStyle)systemFont.Style, 
                  (GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.GraphicsUnit)systemFont.Unit,                
                  systemFont.GdiCharSet,        
                  systemFont.GdiVerticalFont    
                  );
          }
      }
  

  For reference, I have also attached a working sample for the same.

  I hope this helps!
