    It is easy enough to state that you must simply install the redistibutable on the server. But what if you don't have control of the server (IE: Hosting company ). I have had so many deployment problems with the reportviewer it is just not funny.

    My latest problem is here
    http://www.onlineinvoicing.co.za/invoices/frmViewInvoice.aspx IID=108

    Error is along the lines of

    • The definition of the report 'Main Report' is invalid.
      • An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘[BC2001] file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\dzcb2nnr.0.vb' could not be found’.

    The filename of the script file in the error changes each time you refresh though. I am having no luck with my hosting company fixing this problem on their server and it has left my site broken as no-one can view invoices now.

    I was using the ComponentOne report writer/viewer before this and it worked hundreds, and I never had to rely on server setup for it to work. Simply make sure the relevant binaries are in the BIN folder and you are away. Simple and easy. Microsoft have made the operation of the ReportViewer over complicated. Nice component, nice writer, brilliant rendering (when it works) but *** deployment.

    This site works 100% on my development machine.

    Anyone have any ideas as to how we can fix this

    Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll and Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll. You have to add these to the references. Hope this helps.

    Make sure you have enabled full trust. ReportViewer requires full trust when in local processing mode. Partial trust is OK when in remote processing mode. More info: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wyts434y.aspx

    The Winforms ReportViewer control is also available on C# Express. After adding the references, you may right-click on the toolbox > Choose Items > Check ReportViewer.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ev,

    Have you downloaded and installed the ReportViewer Redistributable You should have it installed first then add the dll to the references before you can use the control. Hope this helps.

    ReportViewer control is not available in Express. You have to buy Standard or Professional editions of VS.

    However, an add-in is available for Web Developer Express.
