Can I get some help with this dilemma?

I tried to create a new Q2 2013 report into an existing project only to see this error:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Reporting, Version=4.2.10.1110, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

Prior to adding this new item I had deleted the reference to Telerik.Reporting from my project, and then let VS2010 add the appropriate reference. The version is 7.1.13.802; the runtime version is v4.0.30319.

All of my projects in this solution are configured to use .net 4.0.

I have tried to use the Reporting --> Upgrade Wizard, which tells me the upgrade was successful. I have cleaned and rebuilt the project after running the wizard. I have restarted Visual Studio, and the workstation (running Win7 Pro x64).

All of the other Telerik controls work fine in the project and solution.

Here is the call stack information:

Problem has been solved.

I store my 3rd party controls in a "Binaries" folder in each project in the solution. It turned out that one of the Reporting DLLs was out of date (back to 2010), although I had recently installed 2013 Q2 reporting tools. I manually replaced the 2010 Reporting DLLs with the 2013 DLLs in the Binaries folder.

I then decided to add a Telerik Report Viewer to a new webform but it notified me of a conflict with two different versions. I decided to leave the conflict in place, then run a Reporting Upgrade on the offending page/project. Telerik successfully updated the versions of the controls for me on the new form.

Fortunately that solved my problem completely.
