ReportViewer control not visible in ToolBox

In some cases, even after doing all above steps, the ReportViewer control will not be visible. Thus, there is no need to worry you can easily register and use it in the following way.

Registering the ReportViewer control

<%@Register Assembly= "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" Namespace= "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix= "rsweb" %>
 

Adding the ReportViewer control with ScriptManager

<asp:ScriptManager runat= "server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID= "ReportViewer1" runat= "server" Width= "600">
