Visual Studio 2015 crashing after adding a report

Question

I already searched on Stackoverflow but I could only find this workaround. Remove ChilkatDotNet45 DLL

I have Visual Studio 2015 Professional Update 3. I am working with a web project and already have 3 reports that are working fine. The last time I changed the code was before the Windows Anniversary update. Maybe that's it. I don't know.

Visual Studio crashes and restarts itself when I try to add a report with the report wizard. But I am able to add a report without the wizard.

Visual Studio crashes and restarts itself after I add a table to an empty report.

I can still change my dataset and the "old" report that I created 2 months ago.

How can I fix my Visual Studio?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Try the following steps.

1. Create a new Project and add a Report using the Report Wizard. If this works then the problem is project related.

2. Add a report using the Report wizard in the Solution that is restarting, if you then receive an error stating something similar to : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient, Version=10.0.0. Redirect to the windows explorer C:\\Windows\\Assembly. Scroll down to "Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient" and make sure the version in question is installed .

If the version in this example 10.0.0. is not installed then you need to install the Correct Provider ADO.NET Version.

10.0.0 is Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 ADOMD.NET.

After installation , restart Visual Studio and create a report again using the Report Wizard. If this works , you should be able to open the Dataset

Let me know if this helped .
