Visual Studio crashes when trying to add a DataSet to an existing RDLC Report

[Nicolas Lope de Barrios]

Like most of us developers trying Syncfusion components, I'm learning by examining the code samples provided througout the site.

Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time trying to add or edit new Datasets to RDLC reports, because Visual Studio (2013 update 5 in my case), crashes when I try to do that. This does not happen when I create a new report from scracth.

Someone in another site suggested edit the RDLC file manually and look for a SchemaPath property. It's not there.

Some samples have AdventureWorks as Datasource, but when I try to see how this connections was created, or create a new Dataset, VS crashes and recovers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for replying, none of those solutions worked. They are outdated, not for VS 2013 update 5.

Also I tried creating a new report on a new LightSwitch solution using the Report Wizard, but I get this error:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies.

But SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 SP1 is not compatible with Windows 10 64-bit.

If you know something else, especially the cause of the crash, or how can I collect data to trace it, let me know.

Kind regards.

HI Nicolas,

Also I tried creating a new report on a new LightSwitch solution using the Report Wizard, but I get this error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. But SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 SP1 is not compatible with Windows 10 64-bit

This issue has occurred due to problem in load the “System.Data.SqlServerCe” dependent assemblies while opening the Report wizard. So, please re-install or re-pair the Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 setup in your machine to resolve this problem. Also check the below links to get Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 for Windows 10. https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=5783 https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=17876

If you know something else, especially the cause of the crash, or how can I collect data to trace it, let me know.

This crash might have occurred due to loading of more assemblies while opening the dialog in the project. You can also trace the error activity log of visual studio. So, please refer to the below MSDN blog to trace the error logs for visual studio crash. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2010/02/24/troubleshooting-extensions-with-the-activity-log/
