Unable to use ReportViewer in asp.net web forms application

I have installed the ReportViewer version 11 download and am struggling to get it to work at all in Visual Studio 2013.

I created an empty web ASP.Net Web application and add a webform. To this aspx I drag from the toolbox a ScriptManager control as well as a ReportViewer control. Doing this adds the following line at the top of the file:

&lt;%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %&gt;

Open in new window

I check references and see that Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms exists and is of version 11.

Finally here is my updated Web.config:

&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;

&lt;configuration&gt;

  &lt;system.webServer&gt;
    &lt;validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /&gt;
  &lt;/system.webServer&gt;
  &lt;system.web&gt;

    &lt;httpHandlers&gt;
      &lt;add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" /&gt;
    &lt;/httpHandlers&gt;



    &lt;compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5"&gt;
      &lt;assemblies&gt;
        &lt;add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/&gt;
        &lt;add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/&gt;
        &lt;add assembly="Microsoft.Build.Framework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/&gt;
      &lt;/assemblies&gt;
    &lt;/compilation&gt;
    &lt;httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"/&gt;
  &lt;/system.web&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;

Running the project gives the following error:

0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'Microsoft' is undefined

Did you add script manager control before adding ReportViewer control?
Typical steps are:
1. Add a page.
2. Open the Toolbox window. From the AJAX Extensions group, drag a ScriptManager control onto the design surface.

3. From the Toolbox window, in the Reporting group, drag a ReportViewer control onto the page below the ScriptManager control.

Yes, did that exactly.

I've uploaded the test solution here in case it helps:

What line are you getting this error from?

I am so sorry for the late reply!

I get the error from here from the line beginning "$create(Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient":

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
    
if (typeof Microsoft == 'undefined' ||
    typeof Microsoft.Reporting == 'undefined' ||
    typeof Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient == 'undefined' ||
    typeof Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient.ReportViewer == 'undefined')
    Sys.UI.DomElement.setVisible($get('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ReportViewer1_HttpHandlerMissingErrorMessage'), true);
    $create(Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient.ReportViewer, {"_internalViewerId":"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ReportViewer1_ctl03","id":"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ReportViewer1"}, null, null);
});

Open in new window

The error I receive is:

Please give me time to retrace my own solution.

I had EXACTLY the same problem two or three months ago but I can't remember how I resolved it.

I will be once I remember.

I'd be very grateful if you can help1 My deadline is rapidly approaching and I have no idea how I'm going to get this sorted.

Thanks,

Thanks very much for the link.

Unfortunately those tips have not done the trick for me. I 'm really stuck on this as I can't get this control to work on either my Windows 8 laptop running Visual Studio 2013 nor my w7 machine running Visual Studio 2012.

Could I trouble someone to download the project I uploaded and see if it works on another environment? Or alternatively build the smallest asp.net solution with the report viewer in a page and upload it so I can see if it works on my system?

Many thanks,

Once I added the following worked great. Thank you for your help!

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<handlers>
<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
