SSRS 2008 R2 Missing reference to System.Numerics - reporting-services

I have an SSRS report that I wrote, taking advantage of System.Numerics.BigInteger. When the client installs the report they get this error:
The client is using .NET version 4.6.1 and the report works when installed on my local server. When I wrote the report I had to add a reference to the assembly like so:
What am I missing/not understanding that causes this not to work?

Setting up SSRS 2012?

We're trying to set up an environment to migrate an SSRS 2005 installation to SSRS 2012. The install of SSRS 2012 appeared to go fine. I understand that 2012 (well, 2008 +) does not need IIS anymore, that it uses something called HTTP:sys. Aside from not knowing what HTTP:sys is, I'm fine with it. The new server did not have IIS installed on it when I installed SSRS 2012. It does now but it is shut off. So SSRS 2012 is installed and configured according to the prompts (and a Youtube tutorial and a comparison to how our SSRS 2005 is configured) and it all seems straight forward and should "just work". But when I follow the URL to the Report manager, I'm prompted for network credentials and then get a blank webpage, not the following as expected (except empty of course):
I've run into this one before on an install of SSRS 2008R2.
Open the rsreportserver.config(By default, it can be found from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer)
Comment out the <RSWindowsNegotiate/> under <AuthenticationTypes> element.

SSRS Datasource connection to SQL Azure Data don't work from web based reports

I'm unable to generate a report from the web based interface (Report Manager). The same report in my Visual Studio project works perfectly.
The error which appear when trying to generate the report from the web is
"Cannot create a connection to data source"
The log file error is the fallowing
Cannot get edition information from catalog server.
The report data is retreived from an SQL Azure database.
How come the report can work inside my Visual Studio project but no more once deployed?
I've tried both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008 on fresh machines and both gives the same result.
Thanks,
After a half day of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered it was because the edition of SSRS I am using does not support Azure SQL Databases as a data source.
I am using 2008 Express Advanced Edition. It appears Standard or above is required for this.

ReportViewer problems

I've been trying to get a report running through Microsoft ReportViewer in Visual Studio 2012. Here is my situation.
I have a report (.rdl file) that was originally created through Microsoft Reporting Services running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server.
I originally tried moving it into a VB.NET project running through Visual Studio 2005, but when I converted the .rdl file to .rdlc and tried to bring it into the VS 2005, I could not view the .rdlc file in design time. A while after that, I figured out that this was due to schema compatibility issues because of the fact that the report was created on a SQL Server 2008 server.
So then I tried creating a project through Visual Studio 2012 instead, which we also had in house. This time I was successfull at being able to view the report in design time. However after that, I ran into run time issues because I was using Version 8 of the Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms dll. I believe that this was also due to a schema comaptibility issue
So now, I'm trying to move up to using a newer version of the Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms dll (Version 11). When I remove the Version 8 and add the version 11 instead in my references, everything appears to be fine at first, no errors present. However, when I try to build my project I get the many compile errors all over the place like the following:
Type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer' is not defined.
The wierdest part is that if I were to remove and re-add the reference, or check one of the Microsoft.Reporting references in the Imported namespace, all the errors go away. But when I rebuild the project the errors come back, and I'm stuck.
I'm currently running the Microsoft .NET framework 4.5 on my computer, and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 as my development platform.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Doug

Error Viewing rdl Report on deployment machine. The definition of the report '' is invalid

I have some rdl reports that work fine with Report Builder 2. However, when I deploy my wpf application (and reports with it) on windows 8 machine, I get Report Definition Error. The Error Message says The definition of the report '' is invalid. The reports work fine even on my development machine under VS 2010. The reports are running under Processing Mode Local. Here are a few things that I tried to resolve this issue.
Checked that the ReportViewer dll's are in the bin directory of the deployment machine
Checked that the Report Definition is correct by running them successfully in Report Builder 2 and SQLServer 2008R2.
There is a doubt that I am not sure of. The windows 8 deployment machine has a program entry "Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2008 SP1" in the control panel. Can this be an issue. I think that, since I copied the ReportViewer dll in the bin(executable) directory of the deployed machine, these dll should be loaded and not the GAC. At this stage I am out of ideas as to why I an unable to generate reports on the deployed machine.
I had not copied the "Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll into the bin directory thinking that it is not required for the winforms version of report viewer. In my developement machine this file was in the GAC and hence I did not get any errors for the same. This made me think that the dll is not required. But it is required and so had to copy this into the executable directory of my wpf application.

Upgrade RDLC from 2008 to 2010 (2005 report to 2008 report) Error

I have multiple reports that have been created over the years and anytime a RDLC file is opened in the VS2010, it is asking for an upgrade. I have seen many posts about changing the .config file, but these files are not using config files since they are application based. I have Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms, .Common, .ProcessingObjectModel and, .WebForms 9.0 and 8.0 installed on the lab machine.
After upgrading a report and trying to run it on the lab machine ( ms server 2008) I am returned an error of: "The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.
Does Report Viewer 2010 Redistributable Package fix this issue? I cannot find a distinct answer. If not, is there another workaround without changing server modes from local to server?
You should really be opening those using the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), which can be found under the Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 folder on the Programs menu.
