Report Viewer Version 9 (VS 2008) Conflict

I have redev'dmy site to 3.5 and VS 2008.
Everything went ok except all kinds of troubles with the new version 9 of the Report Viewer component

It is substantially different than version 8.0 and pretty slick on my local dev machine but won't run on my DiscountASP site.
After a lot of searching I came to the following conclusions.

There is an issue (I'm not sure it is a bug) where both the Version 8 and Version 9 DLLs for the component are registered in the GAC but there is a naming or key conflict of some sort.
This issue is well discussed on the boards.
The problem I have is that there appears to be no actual DLL in the new component titled
'Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll 9.0' so I can't add it to my BIN file. I can't leave it out or I end up with failures trying to find it. (who knows why).
If I force the reference in my web config I get an 'ambiguous name' error in the aspx page (I think this is the funny key conflict ... the assemblies, as they are installed in the GAC are identical names, keys etc. Uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't help)

So ... my question is:
- has anyone run into this and if so did you find a way around it.
- does anyone know where I can find the 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll' Version 9.0or if it even exists on it's own anymore.

I've raised a ticket with Discount to see if they'll install/reinstall/sp the reportviewer for VS 2008 in the hope that having it the GAC there will help (if they even have a global cache I can 'see).

Any help would be appreciated.

 

also trouble with VS2008 ReportViewer control. I understand that DASP does not support Version 9 --- cant find the right assembly -- however, you seem to have gotten further than I.
Do you have the exact RV version number that you had for Version 8.0 ... I was think of just sticking this in the assembly section of web.config.
Any help on getting reportviewer of some kind would be helpful.

It's been awhile since I gave up on this. Discounts response is below. I have a SSRS 2005 install from them anyway so I ended up just running that.


As I recall the issue seemed to come down to one of the DLLs (I forget which one). It looks like maybe it's 'wrapped' in the V9 DLL somehow. If you try and add it explicitly you get the 'redundancy' error (If you look you'll see the public key is identical for both versions ... which makes no sense to me) .... if you leave it out it's fails.I was beginning to think it was a 2.0 to 3.0 or 3.5 issue and then ran out of time.


This seems to be an issue only for those of usupgrading from VS 2005 to VS 2008 (I assume that's you as well?). If you find a solution I'd love to hear about it. Meantime you might want to send Discount a note with the reference below so they know 'more demand has surfaced'. I wasn't real excited with this response. This is a pretty basic tool in the new scheme of things.
Good luck.

Dear Customer,
Report viewer control version 9 is not a standard windows dll is not currently installed due to lack of demand.
I'll forward your request to our engineer and we will definitely consider making it available if more demand surfaces.
Thank you for your understanding.
