Reportviewer go at bottom when drag

Hello Suhel,

I had the same problem as you and I solved it by removing references Windows.ReportViewer.Winform, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Design.dll and updating the same dll to latest version with Nuget.

Download and installed Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms latest version

go to the toolbox and right clicked > Choose Items

From there I deselected Windows.ReportViewer.Winform, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Design.dll existing version and selected latest version.

I then went back to my solution to drag and drop the report viewer to form, it will work.

Or try below workaround :

In your Designer.cs file, you have to add below code manually:

this.Controls.Add(this.reportViewer1);

This is my example in a form called "FrmPreviewRpt1":

//
// FrmPreviewRpt1
//
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(725, 305);
this.Controls.Add(this.reportViewer1); // This is the new line.
this.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(2, 2, 2, 2);
this.Name = "FrmPreviewRpt1";
this.Text = "FrmPreviewRpt1";
this.ResumeLayout(false);

you have to change the size (and possibly other visible attributes) in the Designer.cs file manually.
