Is Visual Studio 2026 Pro version 18.1.1 and Microsoft Reporting Services Projects version 4.0 extension supported with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio version 23.8.2.0?
I get an SSRS error when attempting to render the report using the Preview tab (see screenshot below).
The same SSRS report use works fine in Visual Studio 2017 and 2022 version of ODT. My goal is to run the same report with Visual Studio 2026, Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension v4.0 and the latest version of ODT v23.8.2.0.
I ran this script to add the managed ODP.NET entry to the SSRS's Preview .config file but the SSRS report still failed with the error shown below with Visual Studio 2026 (works fine in Visual Studio 2017 and 2022).
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\wdlhhaii.22h\Utils\OraVsProvCfg.exe" /action:config /product:odpm /vspath:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSRS\PreviewProcessingService.exe" /providerpath:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\wdlhhaii.22h\Assemblies\DataProviders\Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll"
Extras I've done was add the managed ODP.NET driver into the GAC (from the managed ODP.NET .dll file that is from the Visual Studio 2026 ODT extension folder). I'll continue to troubleshoot and will provide any findings and / or additional questions, thanks!
