Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.DataVisualization'

Question

I am working over Asp.Net MVC application. I am using report viewer. Everything was working good at development computer, when I uploaded this to my shared hosting, it started to throw this error.

I googled it, but I didn't found specific question to 'DataVisualization' dll, either I found similar questions like could not load ReportViewer.Webform etc.

Because I was getting error on 'DataVisualization.dll' file, so none of the solution worked for me.

Go to web config and delete or comment the following tag.

        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
