I have issue with building solution in visual studio 2019 when installing Microsoft RDLC Report Designer

Question

The error :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\ReportingServices\Microsoft.ReportingServices.targets(24,2): error MSB4062: The "Microsoft.Reporting.RdlCompile" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Installed the following https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55992 as a workaround. But not worked

Hello @Deepa S,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you try to install this NuGet package: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms(the latest version), will it work?

If it doesn’t work, please try to clear NuGet cache by following this document: Clearing local folders. Remove the bin, obj and the hidden .vs folder in your solution/project folder. Reinstall the NuGet packages and the related components that you previously installed, rebuild your project.

If the error persists, please kindly let us know the complete steps that you did. If this issue is reproducible on a newly created project, kindly share us the steps to reproduce this issue and check further.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us :)

Best Regards,

Tianyu
