Method not found: Void Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer.Reset().

After using this Reset method on my asp RV control, now the page issues this error:

Exception Details:System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer.Reset()'.

I tried downloading ReportViewer.exe 2005 Redistr. from the MS site and installed at the server but still get same error.

Is there a newer redist somewhere that I haven't found? Or do I need to regasm some files?

Fixed it. Even after running the ReportViewer.exe 2005 Redistr. on the server machine, nothing changed. Looks like that Redist from MS is not up to date.

I ended up copying my local files(Common, WebForms) to the server then running gacutil -i on them. All better.

I'm glad you posted a solution to this error. I'm having the exact same problem when I transfer my application to our Windows Server 2003 box. What local files exactly did you transfer? I searched for both "Common" and "WebForms" on my workstation but was unable to find them. Thanks!

These are the files you need to use Reset():

Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll 8.0.50727.762

Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll 8.0.50727.762

Alright. I'm having the same problems.

I installed the Visual Studio 2k5 SP1 as well as the ReportingViewer.exe redist. and nothing seems to work

Everytime I try to call reportviewer.reset() in code, it gets a blue squiggly underneath it and says "reset is not a member of Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer"

I have tried to remove the references to the Microsoft.Reporting dlls and adding them back in but nothing has worked.

Anything else I can try?

I'm having the same problem.

How do I use the gacutil? Can someone please send me the syntax for it?

Basically on my development machine I have VS2005 SP1 installed. When i'm deploying my application onto the staging server, I keep getting the following error message:

method does not exist: 'Void Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer.Reset()'

Someone please help!!!

Eric,

Can you send me the syntax for the gacutil please?

I'm having the same issues as the others are having, where it works on my development machine but not on the staging server.

I'll appreciate it.

Eric,

I am also facing the same problem. After installating report viewer redistributable service pack it got solved in local machine. But after uplaoding to server, an empty alert with no message is showing.

I have tried to copy local files i.e common & webform from c:\winnt\assembly, MMS but its not allowing. From where should i copy these files.

Thanks In Advance.

A better solution is to install the ReportViewer 2005 Redistributable SP1:
Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 SP1 (Upgrade)

If you haven't installed the original redistributable, you can do the full SP1 install:
Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 SP1 (Full Installation)

Note: you'll need to install Windows Installer 3.1 on your server if you want to use the Upgrade patch.
