When I dbl-click a report to open it in the designer, I am getting an error:
To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: instance
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks, Simon

Further, I cannot create any more reports because this error prevents the report wizard from doing its thing.

It turns out that another developer had checked some of the older DLL's from a previous version into our dependencies folder. Once I replaced those with the latest Reporting DLL's, I am able to open the reports properly again.
This issue is resolved for me.

I also got the same error.
Is this will happen for trial versions?
I mean when the trial version expires do we get this?
