Microsoft Reporting Services Projects causes delays and hangs

Question

Microsoft Reporting Services Projects causes delays and hangs

Dom 941

Getting this error frequently and VS often just hangs and I need to reboot. Using VS 2017. Is this a known issue with MRSP VSIX 2.6.11?

Is there an update/fix? What are the ramifications if I disable the extension as the error message suggests?

This is what I am using:

Hi @Dom,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You can temporarily disable the extension, which will stop using relevant features of Reporting Services projects.

Or you try to uninstall and reinstall the extension.

Besides, I likely recommend you install and use VS2022 where you can use the newer version of Microsoft Reporting Services Projects.

Sincerely,

Anna

If I disable, what would I lose? Is it something I can turn off and then back on if I make a new project or will disabling it alter my existing projects?

VS2022: Is this a maintenance release upgrade or a new purchase? Our IT department does not maintain our database & reporting environment so we would need to get the outside company to upgrade.

Thanks for the info.

Hello,

If you disable the extension, all Report Server projects (including existing and new projects) are unable to open.

If you can use VS2022, Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022 extension can be used for free.

I found that the extension with VS2017 has not been updated for a long time. If you can’t update to VS2022, you can report the issue to product team.
