Done executing task "RdlCompile" -- FAILED Error in Visual Studio 2015

Question

When I run my code from Visual Studio 2015 it gives error and the build failed.

When I build or rebuild or clean the solution there is no error, But when I run it by clicking on the Start button it failed. It is a desktop application.

I cannot see any error in the error list.

When I changed the Error log file verbosity from Minimal to Detailed, I can see following failure error in the output window.

2>Output file "obj\Debug\RdlCompile.compiled" does not exist.
2>Using "RdlCompile" task from assembly "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91".

Answer 1

Had the same issue in VS 2017. Uninstall and reinstall of VS 2017 fixed the issue for me.

Answer 2

I was also having this issue.

I was able to correct it by uninstalling the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer extension. Disabling it was not enough.

Answer 3

Hope I am not too late. I faced this notorious issue and able to fix it with following steps

1. Change output verbosity to Diagnostic (Under Tools – Options – Projects and Solutions – Build and Run, there’s the MSBuild project build output verbosity combo box)
2. Reinstalled Microsoft RDLC Report Designer extension from MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio!
3. Rebuild Solution.

I took references from other answers like visual studio 2017 community build fail without showing any error!

Answer 4

For Visual Studio 2017, re-installing the the vsix for RDLC Report Designer worked! Spent 10 hours trying to figure this out.
