I have been able to get a sample EF6 context to work as a datasource in the report designer by adding the assembly reference to the config file.  When I use the same process for our existing EF6 context the data source does not show in the designer.  I have copied all the referenced dlls to the report designer folder.

Is there any way to diagnose what part of the load is failing?

Hello Darren,

In cases when assemblies are not loaded properly you can use Fuslogvw.exe to find out which assemblies were not loaded, where the application searched for them and any additional information regarding the error that occurred (if there were any errors).

Thanks, that was useful.  I got the following error.

LOG: Assembly Name is: DataLayer, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
ERR: Invalid assembly platform or ContentType in file (hr = 0x8007000b).

Once I built the assembly targeted to x64 it loaded.  Is that a requirement or did I do something wrong?

Hi Darren,

As of Q3 2013 we provide two versions of the Standalone Designer. thus you can extend the tool with external assemblies built for specific platform freely.
