Unable to launch Report Viewer ASP.NET MVC

[Kurt]

I have followed the instructions for adding the Telerik HTML5 MVC Report Viewer Item Template to our MVC application.

I can see all the folders, the reportscontroller and the reportviewerview.

The reportscontroller does not have an action to return the reportviewerview like I am familiar with.

I cannot figure out how to get the controller to show the report viewer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, 

Kurt

I must be an idiot, I cannot get this to work.  I created a completely blank MVC project, added the HTML5 MVC Report Viewer Item Template and still cannot get it to work.

What URL path should I be using?

http://server/reports?

http://server/reports/reportviewer?

http://server/reports/reportviewerview1?

?  I am completely confused.

Why do I have red squigglies in the reportviewerview1.cshtml?

 I have run the report upgrade.

Hello Kurt,

The VS item template of the HTML5 Viewer (MVC Wrapper) will add the report's template files (CSS,JS, HTML), a vbhtml/cshtml file with links to the required CSS, JS files and the viewer object, a sample implementation of the ReportsControllerBase as a WebAPI controller with the corresponding routes registrations in the Global.asax.

You will need to add a standard controller and an action returning the view added by the VS item template. For example if the view is named ReportViewerView.cshtml and you have already a HomeController:

• Move the ReportViewerView.cshtml in the View>Home folder;
• Add an action name ReportViewerView in HomeController, where the action returns a View;
• Make the action the default one on starting the application. Find the RouteConfig and set HomeController and ReportViewerView  action as default;
• Run the application and the first loaded view will display the viewer;

I hope this information is helpful.

Any thoughts on the red squigglies in my cshtml file?  Screenshot attached.  I added these references in the file, but it did not fix.

@using MyTelerikProject
@using Telerik.Reporting
@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@using Telerik.ReportViewer.Mvc

Hi Kurt,

Please test if moving the view file under the Views folder, and adding the namespace declarations in the Views>web.config file resolves the issue.

Also test updating all Nuget packages via VS Nuget Packages Manager and verify the runtime>assemblyBinding section in the root Web.config is properly structured.


If you need further help, feel free to open a support ticket and send us the problematic project to test the settings locally.

I have same issue as Kurt. I have tried moving viewer to the Views - home folder and all the other recommendation without luck. I am getting this error The resource cannot be found...

Also, @(Html.TelerikReporting().ReportViewer() is showing red squigglies in my cshtml file along with @url

Any help will be appreciated.
