  Team,

  Facting issues in two scenarios where we have to utilize the existing ActiveReports
  
  Softwares used:
  
  1. Active Reports licensed (version 15.0.5.0)
  
  2. Visual Studio 2015 and Framework 4.7.2

  Senario 1: Tried opening the older version of Section reports(.rpx) in Visual Studio 15 and was able to see the design view. When previewing the report getting the below error

  Exception details:
  
  System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘GrapeCity.ActiveReports.VisualStudio.2015, Version=15.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
  
  File name: ‘GrapeCity.ActiveReports.VisualStudio.2015, Version=15.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff’

  Senario 2: The existing section reports(.rpx) files were converted to (.rdlx) files with Banded list enabled during conversion

  The report format of RDLX is
  
  Banded List
  
  Group Header( controls which are used on each of report)
  
  Banded List Details
  
  Group Footer (No Records Found)

  The problem is when no results are returned from Database the report is displayed as blank.
  
  My requirement is the header and footer section should be rendered when there is no data in the detail.

  Can you please suggest on how to proceed in the above two scenarios

  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsnet/docs/v15/online/requirements.html

  My requirement is the header and footer section should be rendered when there is no data in the detail.
  
  Can you add the Header and Footer in the report to show the content without data.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit

  I installed latest version and still the same behavior occurs. Yes this happens on a newly created report with nothing on it and I dropped a label on it as well and same behavior. Also created a brand new report after installing latest hotfix and same behavior. I can pull the same reports up in AR15 designer on same machine and they preview successfully. Behavior only exists within VS Environment.

  Environment: Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
  
  Windows 8.1 pro
