Limitations of .NET Core support:
-
- Since there is no design-time support for Code-Based Section reports in WinForms .NET Core projects, you need to link reports and use .NET Framework WinForms Designer for the design-time experience in .NET Core. See Designing Code-based Section Reports in .NET Core for more information.
- You need to register encodings before using ActiveReports with ASP.NET Core MVC. See how to register encodings in Troubleshooting page.
- You need to update few references for some Microsoft Data Providers that do not appear in DataSource Editor in .NET Core. See how to resolve this in Troubleshooting page.
- While working with Section reports with scripts in WinForms Viewer, WPF Viewer, and Windows Designer components in .NET Core applications, it is mandatory to install 'System.Text.Encoding.CodePages' nuget package and update the Program.cs file accordingly. Otherwise 'System.NotSupportedException' is thrown on previewing the report. For more information, see Troubleshooting page.
