The report designer and the report project load and run correctly. Everything works however on one of my machines when I click on "Expression" in the context menu I get the following error. Everything else works.

I have tried to install the corresponding WPF controls, remove and add the reference again, add binding redirects, and just about everything else, but it still doesn't work.

Is there anything else to try?

Hi Patrick,

The assemblies that the WPF report viewer depends on are not related in any way to the Report Designer. A first step we can suggest is repairing the Telerik Reporting installation and see if that helps. If not, you can compare what differs on the machine where the problem occurs and the other ones where it works correctly (clearly it is not the project, otherwise would throw exception on any machine).
If you are unable to identify any culprits, you can attach another Visual Studio instance to this one when the exception occurs to try and track down the problem. If that does not yield results, turn on the tracing of the VS IDE and perform again the steps that causes the exception. Below is the XML you need to add to the devenv.exe.config file:

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    ...
    <system.diagnostics>
        <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
          <listeners>
            <add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\temp\DEVENV.LOG" />               
            <remove name="Default" />
          </listeners>
        </trace>
    </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

This file usually resides under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE directory (don't forget to make a backup copy before modifying it).

You can also enable the Visual Studio activity log and see if that would show any hints what is wrong.
