I am trying to add a new Report Viewing Window in my Visual Studio 2013 developed WPF application. I already have a report defined in a separate class library and now I am trying to use that report in my WPF app. I am trying to Add New Item and from the WPF category I choose "Telerik Report Viewer Window Q3 2015". I name it accordingly and then I am presented with a form to configure the source of the report. I choose Existing Report Definition. Once I select Existing Report Definition, the only option I have is "TRDX report definition created in Report Designer". The other option, "Type report definition created in Visual Studio" is not enabled. My report was created in the Visual Studio designer, so I would expect to use this option. There's a progress bar that says "Loading types...". I wait on it for close to a minute or so, hoping that it will find my report and it will allow me to select it. It doesn't because the Visual Studio crashes and then it reopens on its own. I need to reload the entire solution and basically start the whole process all over again.
Does anyone else have the same experience and if you do, how did you solve it?
TIA,
Eddie

If both projects use the same Telerik Reporting version, types will be loaded successfully for the option to use existing reports.
Please test to run the Upgrade Wizard in the solution and update all related projects. then rebuild and test to use the WPF RepotViewer VS template with an existing report definition.
Let us know how it goes and if you need any further help.
