  I am looking to upgrade to a new version of Visual Studio, but I need to know if I will also need a new version of Active Reports. I currently have AR 17.

  Is AR 17 supported on either Visual Studio 2022 or 2026? Also, how much longer will support for AR 17 last?

  John

  Hello John,

  Thank you for reaching out to Mescius Support.
  
  ActiveReports 17 is supported on Visual Studio 2022, 2019, and 2017 only. Also, ActiveReports 17 has been in maintenance mode, so we suggest that you upgrade to the latest version of ActiveReports i.e., v19, for continued support. Also, there have been many new features added to the API to make it better, which you can check out on the following link:

  If you want to continue using the AR 17, then you can check out the following product requirement link:
