Editing reports with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition

If you want to edit and convert your own reports or customized reports in RDLC format in Allplan 2020, you need a version of Microsoft Visual Studio; Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 is no longer available.

You can use the current Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, which is free. Although you need only an editor, which is Microsoft Report Designer, you must install various parts of this development environment on the computer.

You need the following components:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition
• An empty Visual Studio Project
• Report Viewer as a NuGet Package
• Report Designer as an extension (VSIX setup)

You can find detailed information on how to download, install and configure Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition on Allplan Connect; go to the Training - Documents area. You can also download a guide showing how to create and edit user-defined reports.

Note: You can still use existing reports that you created yourself.
