Hi Team,

I am a senior software developer from JLL. We have an application that is very old(asp.net web forms, VB.net & report viewer component). This application is critical and used by many clients(internal & external). We are planning to migrate the application to the latest version of dot.net core or dot.net 5 . We observe report viewer component is tightly coupled to webforms. Kidly provide us any alternative to use the report viewer to download, view reports. How can we get rid of asp.net webforms and still use report viewer?

Regards,

    Hi @Dibya Ranjan Tripathy ,
    As far as I think,there is no possible to use report viewer in asp.net core. And there is still no possible in the further.
    More details,you could refer to below article:
