Configure Telerik Reporting with ASP.NET MVC

I am following this article on how to configure Telerik Reporting on ASP.NET MVC 5 and .NET 4.6.1 Using HTML5 ASP.NET MVC Report Viewer in a web application then Telerik Reporting REST Web API to Web Application

One thing I could not do in this is Register routes enter image description here

If I do it, I get following error. I think its conflicting with some other routes, not sure where it is... enter image description here enter image description here

I tried commenting out MVC routes registration, that also gives same error 

//RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

A route named 'Resources' is already in the route collection. Route names must be unique. Parameter name: name

So without registering the route when I do POST call to the following URL I get good response. enter image description here

But If I try to verify the reports as per the documentation I get the following error enter image description here Any help is greatly appreciated.

Update

Route issue is fixed. removed a duplicate entry in WebApiConfig initialization

When access this URL http://localhost:[portnumber]/api/reports/formats Following error is still not resolved

Solution

  • I had this section in web.config i removed it and it worked fine

    <section name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Configuration.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=12.2.18.1129, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />
