The Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls assembly is documented in the .NET API Browser and offers features I want to use in my Windows Desktop application, like the RDLUpgrader Class and the RdlObjectModel classes.
Is the Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls assembly redistributable with my application developed in Visual Studio and where can I get the assembly? The SQL Server .NET SDK is referenced as the product this library applies to, but I can't find that product as a download option anywhere.

I don't find an option to download the Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls assembly separately. On my computer, it is downloaded together with the report builder or report designer application extension.

I don't know much about Visual Studio redistributions. I found this link for you: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/redistribution, maybe you can use it as a reference.

That's not the definitive answer I'm looking for. Could we add the Visual Studio tag back to this question and maybe get some additional engagement?
Yes, you can add tags for more help.
You can also raise a new VS thread to get help more quickly.
