Cannot get the Aspose renderers to show up in the report designer drop down list

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,


I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on Windows 10 64bit.

I have downloaded the trial edition of Aspose Words for Reporting Services (version 5.0.1.0) and followed the steps given here:

Getting Started|Documentation

Step 4 of that procedure fails for me.

Prior to the manual installation, I tried the MSI install procedure but noticed it made no changes to the RSReportDesigner.config / RSPreviewPolicy.config files, and not even copy the Aspose assembly into that Visual Studio’s PrivateAssemblies folder.

(relevant assembly I picked: (Program Files)\Aspose\Aspose.Words for Reporting Services v5.0.1\Bin\ReportViewer2015\Aspose.Words.ReportingServices.dll)

Note I don’t get any error messages in Visual Studio when I open my test report and run the preview.

It’s just as if the Aspose extensions are completely ignored.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Cyril,


Thanks for your inquiry.

To integrate with Visual Studio 2015 Report Designer, copy Bin<b>SSRS2016\Aspose.Words.ReportingServices.dll to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 13.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies directory.

Please follow the steps mentioned in following link.
