RDLC 报表项消失

 

今天碰到一件很奇怪的事情，

Visual studio 2008 RDLC报表在设计状态时，工具箱中的报表项（文本框、折线图、表、子报表等）竟然消失了，打补丁，重装VS都没有解决，最后解决办法如下：

fixed this by going into my profile as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

toolbox.tbd
toolbox_reset.tbd
toolboxIndex.tbd
toolboxIndex_reset.tbd

There are four HIDDEN files in there that make up what is apparently the toolbox cache. If you erase them, they will be re-generated and #13119 will go back to General. As I said, these files appear to be hidden so configure the file explorer accordingly.

Second problem: my User controls disappeared from the toolbox.
I was able to fix it by going into the VS menus:

Visual Studio "Tools" menu

"Options" submenu

"Windows Form Designer" tab "General" tab Set "AutoToolboxPopulate" to "True"
