I'm trying to add a DevExpress Report Desginer Wizard to my WPF project but I keep getting an error about versions. I've posted a screenshot to simplify things
This project already contains references to DevExpress controls of a different version.
The current version is 15.2.4.
Incorrect reference: DevExpress.Data.v14.1 14.1.8
I've updated the project files per the DevExpress Upgrade notes but this hasn't changed anything.
You can try to execute "upgrade tool" from the visual studio menu
DevExpress -> Upgrade tool,
run this tool on the current solution/project, close the wpf window designer, rebuild solution/project, open your wpf window again in the designer, check that the toolbox contains WPF ReportDesigner v15.2 control and add it to the wpf window.
I resolved the error by removing all references to DevExpress components with a different version than the 15.2 that it was trying to use.
I had to clean and build my solution after doing this because they obstinately kept coming back and causing trouble so if you're here looking for a solution, be aware of that.

On Visual Studio 2019 I have added the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer from NuGet packages and I went ahead and added the Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms.dll to the project as well. I also created a .xsd and a .rdlc The reportviewer tool shows up on my toolbox and I am able to drag and drop it onto the form. The problem is, when I drop the report viewer tool onto my form, it doesn't open the report view. Instead, it goes to the bottom of the form, just like the timer tool does. I double click on it and it does nothing. I followed the same steps on VS 2017 and was able to create a report.
I already uninstalled the packages and re-installed them and it keeps behaving the same way.
I expect the report viewer to display as it did in VS 2017
I'm using version 150.1404.0 and the issue is still present.
The bug is not in the reporting control, it is a VS2019 code generator bug.
The code lacks the line that actually adds the control on the form:
this.Controls.Add(reportViewer1);
This needs to be placed after the control was initialized and before the
this.ResumeLayout(false);
line in the InitializeComponent() method, which can be found in the formName.Designer.cs
I was having the same issue and I got it solved by installing those packages from NuGet:
1- Corrected.Microsoft.ReportServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms
2- Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms
3- Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.v12
4- Microsoft.REportViewer.WinForms.v12
Rebuild your project and you are good to go.
** Found it on youtube but couldn't place the link here because of the rules here, thanks to him.
From VS 2019 click extension menu then select Manage Extensions at the online tab search report viewer you will find Microsoft RDLC Report Designer click download button
right click on your project and select Manage Nuget Packages then install the report Viwer control to you project
search for
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms
rebuild Vs Solution
from Toolbox right click add Choose Items
on the .NET Framework Components, select Browse. Select the Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll or Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll from the NuGet package folder you installed
The new control should display within the toolbox
There are a ton of unofficial versions on NuGet. Ensure you are using the correct package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms/
Issue was fixed in version 150.1400.0
I'm developing a WinForms application using Visual studio 2013. I have two user controls and 1 custom control in my project. Unfortunately for some reason they are not appearing in my toolbox at design. At one point they did briefly but disappeared and never returned. I have tried resetting the toolbox, checking the AutoPopulate option and made sure that my project is built. I've seen solutions about adding controls that exist in their own library but these exist within the same project. My classes also have a namespace and the ToolboxItem(True) attribute.
Thanks
Installing WPF Controls onto a machine is a messy task.
I tested installation in various systems including VMs. Following are the issues I have seen.
Controls not installed in the VS Toolbox.
Controls are isntalled but, cannot be dragged-n-dropped onto the WPF Window
Duplicate entries in the Toolbox sometimes!
I do not know what is wrong with the ToolboxControlsInstaller package. It messes up the Toolbox all the time, well most of the times.
Any guidelines what is the best practices to install WPF controls?
Our customers are very annoyed with these Toolbox behaviors.
Any help is welcome!
Regars,

Our customers were annoyed too.
So I wrote this tutorial article covering toolbox installation once and for all:
Visual Studio Toolbox Control Integration
The most convenient approach seems to be using the Toolbox Controls Installer (TCI) package already pre-installed in VS2010 and newer. This includes just adding a key in registry, i.e.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ToolboxControlsInstaller\SampleControl, Version=3.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3cc4c7b61201d46c
You can also specify a custom tab name.
If you don't have a custom installer for your components, wrapping the DLLs in a VSI or VSIX package may be convenient. The VSIX is more powerful, support quiet install, custom tab name and uninstallation, but only VS2010 or newer.
Be careful with registry + VS2012. I discussed how the registry should be updated for VS2012, or simply call:
devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs
and then
devenv.exe /Setup
To clear things up.
Sometimes one also have to clear the Toolbox cache (TBD files), which seems to be a quite evil thing!
How do you install WPF controls into toolbox? However, these are all common issues with Visual Studio toolbox if you(or someone while installing other components) have done some mistakes in configuring. Refer the below links which has suggestions to avoid these issues.
Installing controls to VS 2010 procedure : How to add my custom WPF control to the ToolBox by using the WPF ToolBox Control template
Icons messed up issue : Visual studio 2005 toolbox icons messed up (though this is not reported with VS 2010, this solution would work for VS 2010 also).
I am trying to drag and drop Telerik RadGridView on my windows form. But instead of showing on the form(in designer view), it shows the control just below the designer i.e. the area where some of the controls like DataSet, Binding Source, FileDialog controls are shown when added to the form from the toolbox.
The same problem happens for any rad control like RadButton, RadLabel etc. I can work on the control by using the controls added to the form, but the problem is that in case of some controls like RadGridView, the smart tag is not available that makes a lot of things easier.
I think I am missing something, so that I am unable to drag-drop the controls. Can any one help me out?
Can also be caused by a version mismatch. I had the latest version installed but code base referenced previous version (specifically 2011 Q2).
An uninstall of latest and install of 20011.Q2 fixed it for me.
This is caused by missing design time assembly in your GAC. Uninstall the all telerik controls from your computer, reinstall them and then update your project references. This should solve the problem.
More info at this link.
you must ReInstall your telerik product then open your project and reload your toolbox.
this sometime happen like you update your visual studio or you install a new package of telerik.
My VS2010 install has WPF Browser application project template, and WPF User Control lib template, but no WPF Application template. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
For me I was missing ProjectTypeGuids in the .csproj file (a new project worked for me so just compared the project files), so if you add this to the .csproj file under PropertyGroup I then had all the WPF types available for adding:
<ProjectTypeGuids>{60dc8134-eba5-43b8-bcc9-bb4bc16c2548};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
This is kind of an old question, but I just hit the same issue and found the answer after the above didn't help, so....the solution for me was that I had to select a higher framework version (4.0) before the WPF Application template I was looking for became visible. If you find that you don't have the WPF or other project templates you expect available, you may want to check that you've selected the approriate framework version from the drop-down list immediately to the right of the "Recent Templates" label in the Add New Project dialog (it's near the top-left of the dialog in question).
This issue is a lot older than Visual Studio 2010. It goes back to 2005 at least. Lucky you, I was missing the New Class template once.
According to a bunch of sources, this trick works:
If you are missing a template that comes with your installation, run devenv.exe with the /installvstemplates switch.
You'll need to exit out of all Visual Studio instances for this to work.
The trick is mentioned in the MSDN documentation:

Thread on the issue in a previous version of Visual Studio: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/8a5ae9e3-be7b-493d-831c-1e49e8103f26/
I wound up uninstalling and reinstalling my Visual Studio entirely but this trick probably would have fixed my problem.
Just had this in VS2017 Community Edition. This discreet message to add missing templates helped me:
In VS 2017
Make sure that you have .Net Desktop Tools checked in you VS
