.NET 6 Report Designer System.Runtime.Serialization.Primivites Version 6.0.0.0 Error

The backend of our project was .Net standard, the frontend was .Net Framework 4.7.2, we migrated our C# project to .Net 6.

We used the DevExpress toolkit on UI components. After the migration, while the WinForm designers are working fine, I am getting an error in the report designer.

The error says System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives Version 6.0.0.0 not found. When I looked at the nuget packages, I saw that it existed until version 4.3.0. Shouldn't the SDK provide this package? I'm so confused.

Nuget Package Manager:

I reinstalled Dotnet Runtimes, reinstalled DevExpress tool, reinstalled RepxPackage manually, installed Runtime.Primitives 4.3.0. None have been a solution.

Edit: I added new report to same project and same folder and that works, report designer opened. How should i fix old reports to new.

I copied report c# file and designer to new working report. Thats appeared.

Thank you for your answers in advance.

Solution

  • I wanted to prepare a guideline for those who encounter the same error.

    First update your databinding sources to object data binding.

    If error still exist follow the line:

    This error occurs as a result of the report designer (DevExpress tool) not working or the breaking change after v16.1.

    This error goes away when you call the following code block in the constructor with any executing mode in the report.

    ScriptPermissionManager.GlobalInstance = new ScriptPermissionManager(ExecutionMode.Deny);

    This applies to reports that are old and have outdated bindings. I replaced them with new expression bindings.

    Thanks.
