Could not load file or assembly GrapeCity.ActiveReports for build project after Visual Studio 2022 17.8.7 update

I am getting below error while building VB.NET solution in Visual Studio 2022 Professional IDE.

Could not load file or assembly 'GrapeCity.ActiveReports, Version=17.0.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)'

.NET Framework: 4.7.2

Before VS2022 17.8.7 update the project was building without any issues but after update to this VS version it started giving above error.

I have packages for GrapeCity.ActiveReports 17.0.3 and its dependent packages also. The same project with the same packages and packages folder is getting compiled with VS2022 17.8.4.

It seems that some of other assemblies which are being referred by GrapeCity.ActiveReports 17.0.3 got updated during VS2022 17.8.7 update.

I am not supposed to use updated version of GrapeCity.ActiveReports 17.2.0 due to some approvals needed.

    Hi @Patil, Mangesh, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Have you tried to clean and rebuild the solution?

    You can backup the project and try to reinstall the package GrapeCity.ActiveReports by right-clicking on project > Manage NuGet Packages. 

    If the project works normally in VS2022 version 17.8.4 and you can’t update GrapeCity.ActiveReports to the latest version, I suspect the GrapeCity.ActiveReports version 17.0.3 is not compatible with VS2022 version 17.8.7, and you can roll back the VS2022 to version 17.8.4 by opening the Visual Studio Installer > More > Rollback to previous version. 

    By the way, the package is related to GrapeCity, you can also report it in dedicated GrapeCity forum. Thanks for your understanding!

    Sincerely,

    Anna
