Hi Shamil

Ouch, this sounds nasty. I haven't run any reporting in VS2010 yet but I'll keep an open eye.

Hi All --

I have got the following error message for VS2008 project converted to
VS2010:

VS 2010 Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportDesigner,
Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located
assembly's manifest 
definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80131040)

Googling:

zard-fails-to-upgrade-the-reportviewer-winforms-to-v10

where one of the advises coming from MS stated:

"Thank you for your feedback.

The issue that you have reported is because the v9.0.0.0 ReportViewer
control does not ship with VS 2010 
(it is replaced with the v10.0.0.0). In order for you to upgrade without the
issue, you need to install
 the v9.0 viewer control first: 
 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cc96c246-61e5-4d9e- 
bb5f-416d75a1b9ef&displaylang=en

BTW, we have chosen not to auto-upgrade the users from 9.0->10.0 because of
new API changes, 
Reporting Server dependency, Framework dependency changes introduced by the
10.0 viewer."

But it didn't work here. I did install ReportViewer's Viewer Control as they
advised (although I was wondering why should I have to install it if I have
VS2008 installed here on the same PC ?-)). It didn't help.

So I have finally changed project type as beeing .NET Framework 4.0 based as
well as I have set references to

Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll v.10.0
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll v.10.0

that helped immediately.

I do not care that much on "new API changes, and Framework dependency
changes introduced by the 10.0 viewer." they (MS) mention.
But I wonder what are "introduced Reporting Server dependency" - wouldn't
they imply some setup issues on ASP.NET hosting sites?
Do you know what they are/do you have a reference on an article describing
this issue?

BTW, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll v.10.0 and
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll v.10.0 are dependent on

Runtime Vesion v2.0.50727 IOW .NET Framework 2.0 - am I wrong?

Thank you.
