Hi David,

Please check the projects settings and if they target the same or compatible .NET framework versions. Also double-check which viewer is dragged from the VS Toolbox - the old ASP.NET WebForms viewer (obsolete as of Q3 2015) or the HTML5 WebForms wrapper.


My recommendation is to use the wizard that starts on adding a viewer through the VS item template. The wizard will let you create a separate ClassLibrary project that will be referenced by the main web application.

For more details, How To: Use HTML5 ASP.NET Web Forms Report Viewer.


In case the issue is not related to the project settings, please open a support ticket and send us the problematic project.

Regards,
Stef
