Cannot drag and drop ReportViewer

Hi,
I have recently got started on Reporting Services using the excellent book
by Mr. Teo Lachev as reference. I am stuck, however, on the use of the
ReportViewer Server Control.
I compiled the project that was located in the SQL Server folder, and then
added the .dll server control component in the Visual Studio Toolbox. All
this I followed the book and also the Readme file that came with this sample
application. When I try to use it at design-time, however, I am not able to
drag and drop the control on to the WebForm. I am not sure what is wrong, and
I have the feeling that there's some configuration problem on my part
(again).
There is another puzzle I cannot solve and seems to be already discussed
many times in the discussion group. It is the RepeatWith property that you
are supposed to be able to set for controls such as textboxes and rectangles.
Is it true that it is a bug? If so, does anybody know whether an update or a
hotfix will be available anytime soon?
Thank you.Hi Rabbit:
Do you have an error message when you try to drop the control, or do
you get the circle indicating you cannot drop it?

No, I do not get an error message. Yes, I get the black circle.

So, can you drag another control onto the web form? The web form has to be
open in design mode. If this doesn't help, you can just copy and paste the
the control declarations which you can find by switching to the page HTML
view.

Hope this helps.
