Reporting - SOAP serialization/deserialization capabilities are no longer available

What Changed

We removed the DevExpress.XtraReports.Configuration.Settings.AllowSoapLayoutDeserialization property because SOAP serialization/deserialization is no longer supported.

We removed all classes and enums contained in the DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.BarCode namespace. Those classes and enumerations were already marked as obsolete as a result of previous refactorings.

Reasons for Change

This change allows us to make our API and components more robust.

Impact on Existing Apps

This change affects reporting applications that use SOAP deserialization, the DevExpress.XtraReports.Configuration.Settings.AllowSoapLayoutDeserialization property, classes or enums defined in the DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.BarCode namespace.

How to Update Existing Apps

If your application uses SOAP serialization to store report layouts, use a previous version to load the layout in SOAP format and save it to XML format before updating the application.

How to Revert to Previous Behavior

You cannot revert to previous behavior.
