> In general, Telerik Reports are *Telerik.Reporting.Report* objects which can be serialized in TRDX files, or compressed TRDP files. The XML definition has a schema version that is updated in case of API changes in the released reporting functionality. It is important to use a version of Standalone Report Designer that matches the version of Telerik Reporting assemblies used to create the.NET report definition. For more information, please refer to [XML Report Definition]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-designer-tools/desktop-designers/standalone-report-designer/xml-report-definition%}) (*XML Schema Versioning* section). This guarantees that you are using the same version of the Telerik Reporting engine to create and process reports.

1. (Optional) If the target report depends on external assemblies for event handlers, data sources, user functions, or custom aggregates, first you have to reference those assemblies in the configuration file. For more information see: [Extending Report Designer]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-designer-tools/desktop-designers/standalone-report-designer/configuration/extending-report-designer%})

>tip As of __Q3 2024 (18.2.24.806)__, both the __Standalone Report Designer__ and the __Standalone Report Designer for .NET__ serialize report and item event handlers in the declarative report definitions during the import process. However, the source code of the event handlers is not embedded in the report definitions. This code resides in the original assembly from which the declarative report definition is imported. The code will be executed when the event handler is invoked by the Reporting engine. To load the assembly that contains and executes the code in the event handlers, the Report Designer needs to be [extended]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-designer-tools/desktop-designers/standalone-report-designer/configuration/extending-report-designer%}), including the assembly that contains the event handlers in the Report Designer configuration file.
