Debug Scripts in Visual Studio

  • Feb 18, 2026

This topic describes how to debug scripts used within the End-User Report Designer.

Important

Report scripts are not secure and are disabled by default. We recommend that you use expression bindings instead.

  1. Open your application that contains the End-User Report Designer. Do one of the following depending on the application target framework:

  2. Run the application.

  3. Start Visual Studio and select Debug | Attach to Process in the toolbar.

  4. Select your running application in the invoked Attach to Process dialog.

  5. Return to the application with the End-User Report Designer and switch to the Preview tab. This operation opens a temporary generated class with all report elements and script code in Visual Studio.
