I hope someone can help me.

I have created a webapplication that uses the ReportViewer.

It runs fine on my devolopment pc but when I copy it to our server I get a parse error:-

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have seen posts anout this error in the 2005 beta version and that this would be resolved by using the setup & deployment project to install this control.

I have created a setup project but when I attempt to install it to our server I get an error:-

An error occured while attempting to create the directory Web folder.

I am logged in as an administrator and I have made sure that the permisions are set to full control on the website Home directorys.

So I am scratching my head now. Can anyone help me please.

Hi,

and welcome to the ASP.NET forums.

I don't have experience with the reportviewer myself but my first thing to check is to locate the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll on the hard drive and once found upload it to the /bin subfolder on the server.

Grz, Kris.

Thanks for your help. You have put me on the right track. I have done a fare bit in VS2000/2003 but I am new to VS2005

The bin file was not on the website but it made me realise that the way the site was being uploaded/created maybe wrong and hence not creating the bin file etc

It turns out that I was using the 'Copy Web Site' option instead of the 'Publish Website' in the Build menu.

I now have a new problem. In my web application I use the ReportVeiwer control and I used the 'Design a new report' option in the ReportViewer tasks. This created a blank report called report.rdlc. I then link this into the ReportViewer using the 'Choose Report' option also in the ReportViewer tasks.

When running this on the server I get:-

An error occurred during local report processing.

Thanks for your help

OK I just got round the above problem by just including the following line in the Page_Load event

 Solution :- Install  ReportViewer.exe in the hosting server,  which can be found here:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\ReportViewer\ReportViewer.exe

Thanx Chintu...you resolved my purpose..
