Another explanation to parents regarding the nature of COVID-19:

COVID-19: Good practices for families
Advice from infectious disease expert Dr Leong Hoe Nam

1. Should my child avoid extracurricular activities, like dance class?
If precautionary measures like temperature-taking and checks for respiratory symptoms are taken, it is ok. The chances of getting the virus are low.

2. Can I contract COVID-19 from swimming?
No. Contact with water would kill the virus. Adequately chlorinated water in pools is known to kill most respiratory viruses.

3. What are some precautions schools have in place?
Schools have put in place many measures, such as temperature-taking. They have also cancelled assemblies and outdoor activities. Children are effectively only exposed to their own classmates.

I have a Telerik Report which was creating few years back, using Telerik Reporting version R3 2018 SP2 (12.2.18.1129). This report has been deployed in production, and working as intended. But today, I received an email requesting some modification to be done on this report.

Unfortunately, I have upgraded my Telerik Reporting to the latest, version R1 2020 (14.0.20.115). But I wasn’t worried, I have done this before. I could just use Telerik Reporting Upgrade wizard, then everything would be compile as it used to be.

Before I upgrade I took screenshot which libraries are being referenced by project:

Once upgrade completed, I tried to open the report file then this error appeared:

I clicked OK then this error dialog pop out:

I closed my Visual Studio, then reopen again. But the error persistently appear whenever I tried to load the report designer. After few restarts of Visual Studio didn’t appease the error, maybe it’s something else. So I looked into ActivityLog.xml to see the details as the error dialog suggested:

It was a very long error message. What’s shown above is just a portion of it. Since I’m not sure what to do next, I decided to rename ActivityLog.xml to ActivityLog.xml.old. I was hoping maybe I could get a new shorter error message on the next try. To my surprise, I didn’t get the error. Now I am really don’t know what really caused the error, and what the solution is. But, that’s a mystery for another day.

I hope it helps! Cheers!
