Question

I would like to upgrade a project which uses RDLC to create reports. The solution uses Report Viewer 2010SP1.
I installed successfully the report viewer 2012 runtime, however the component does not appear in the add references windows of visual studio.
I also checked the NuGet-Packages and there I found a “Report Viewer”-package 11, but while installing this version, only the web-component but not the WinForms-component has been installed.

On the web I have seen some workarounds changing the registry, but is it really necessary to manually change the registry to have this done?

Was it helpful?

Solution

One way, probably not the best, is selecting the component directly with the "browse"-option.

In the “Add Reference” dialog, browse to “\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\ReportViewer” and select there the component "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll"
