how to use RDLC in visual studio 2022

Question

Hi I've created a new solution on .net 6 on VS2022 , and now I need to create reports but it looks like there is no way in vs2022. is there a way to use reporting services RDLC files in WPF on VS2002 ?

Mean a while I've open the solution on VS2009 in order to use it for building RDLC reports, but when I try to associate the data source to an Object I got this error

My object is a Class in a referenced project (class library .net6) the class is:

   public  class prueba
    {
        public int MyProperty { get; set; }
        public int prop2 { get; set; }
        public int prop3 { get; set; }
    }

Answer 1

There is now a RDLC Report Designer Add-In for Visual Studio 2022.

To use those reports in your application, you need an RDLC renderer (aka "Microsoft ReportViewer"), which is available for .NET 4.0-4.8 as a nuget package:

• Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms
• Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms

Do note, though, that Microsoft did not release a ReportViewer for .NET Core or .NET 5+, and they have announced that do not intend to release one in the future (see, for example, the comments on this blog post).

There are some enthusiast ports/recompilations floating around on github and nuget, but they are not from Microsoft, nor has Microsoft given them permission to do that, so using those packages carries a certain amount of technical and legal risk. That's not something you want to do in a commercial project.

You only can use projects with netstandard, 2.0 or 2.1

so the class you will use as a data source only can be in a project using .NetFramework or netstandard.
