Hello!
I am migrating reports from .Net Framework 4.5.2 to .Net Core 3.1. I've been having issues with the report designer within Visual Studio as it seems not to work. I've been trying for a while, with different libraries/dlls but no success. The reports do work on Core, the only problem seems to be the VS Designer. We really don't wanna switch to some other designer to edit out existing reports so if possible we'd like to use it the same way that we've been using it till now. The image with the error is attached. How would we go about fixing this? Is it even possible? Thank you for answer in advance!
Best regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,
Indeed, we don't support a Visuals Studio Report Designer for .NET Core yet. You may find more details in the corresponding feature request - Make Visual Studio designer work with .NET Core (a.k.a. SDK-style) projects.
The implementation of the designer is in our plans for the end of 2021.
Meanwhile, you may use the approach suggested in the KB article How to use Visual Studio Report Designer to edit CS Reports in .Net Core Projects.
