Failed to create component 'ReportViewer'

Question

Anyone can help me with below error? It looks like it has something to do with different versions but I am not able to solve it. I followed different instructions like: Installing the NuGet package for the WinForms than adding the dll via .NET Framework components. When I drag and drop the ReportViewer onto a Form it gives me the below error.

Answer 1

This is what I did and it worked well for me:

1- Installed Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio

2- Opened Visual Studio and created a new project using Visual Basic > Report Application template. (You can also search for it using top right search box)

3- From the warning dialog clicked Trust

4- Cancelled Report Wizard (I just didn't want to create report initially, you can create.)

5- Rebuild the solution.

You are all set. You can add a new Report and design it in VS and show it in ReportViewer. If you open Form1 you can see a ReportViewer there.

To add it to toolbox, you can click on Choose Items and then Browse your solution directory and from the NuGet package folders go to report viewer package folder and select Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll.
