    I have an old VB6 application that uses AR2 for reports. I need to replicate these reports in a new C# application using modern AR. Per the documentation, I can migrate the report layouts from AR2 if I save them as .rpx files. How do I do this? The files are saved as .dsr in VB6.

    Hi Ed,

    To convert your “.dsr” file to “.rpx” which you can do by going into:

    1. The ActiveReports 2.0’s Report Window.
    2. Click on File option in the Report Window (not the file menu option of your VB Project)
    3. Click on Save As and use .RPX as an extension.

    However, please note that ActiveReports does not import Visual Basic or scripting code into .NET, all VB scripts will need to be rewritten as per .NET language specifications.

    You can also refer to this blog guiding on converting your DSR file to RPX here: https://developer.mescius.com/blogs/upgrade-activereports-2-com-reports-to-activereports-7

    We hope this helps!
