Starting in 2019, the Reporting control is no longer included in Essential Studio. If you're experiencing issues with the Syncfusion Reporting Platform, Report Viewer, Report Designer, or Report Writer, we recommend migrating to Bold Reports, our dedicated reporting platform.

Bold Reports offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features for all your reporting needs, and we will help you make a smooth transition from the discontinued control. Our support team at https://support.boldreports.com/ is here to assist you with any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the migration process.

We thank you for choosing Syncfusion and appreciate your understanding.

Report Designer Broken after update

We recently updated all of our references to the Syncfusion 13.1 release from the 12.4 version.  Prior to the update we were having no issues at all.  Now we get :

System.IO.FileNotFoundException occurred
  _HResult=-2147024894
  _message=Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.ReportViewer.WPF, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

  InnerException: 


We have double checked that every assembly is now referencing the new version and that each assembly that the report designer is dependent upon has been referenced.  Where there any major changes made that could cause this exception?  Also, is there a reason that the reportdesigner.dll is not available via the  Syncfusion Wpf Nuget?

Hi Justin,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

We regret to inform you that we have tested multiple scenario to reproduce the mentioned issue but we are unable to reproduce the mentioned issue. Instead of this we are facing similar kind of issue only if we enable runtime exception (Debug->Exceptions->Common Language Runtime Exceptions). Could you please confirm with us whether the runtime exception enabled in your application?. If you still face any issues, could you please share more details on this, it will be helpful for us to provide a solution earlier.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Nithya B
