When the Sep 2013 toolkit is installed using NuGet, it also installs AjaxMin v4.97. Everything in my project works normally. In particular, the VS2012 report designer (for RDLC files) lets me add a new DataSet to any report, and displays all of my business object data sources as expected.
Next, if I rerun NuGet, it wants to upgrade AjaxMin to v5.2. If I do, then my project is broken in a very odd way: In the report designer, adding a DataSet doesn’t show any of my business object data sources. Instead, the Data Source Configuration Wizard pops up to help me create a data source from scratch.
This is a mature project and has been working for a long time. I spent a couple of days trying to isolate the problem and reduce the test procedure as much as possible. My conclusion is that AjaxMin v5.2 causes this problem. This is true if I install v5.2 via NuGet or if I download and install it manually.
Is there any known incompatibility between the toolkit and the newer version of AjaxMin?
Comments: You may not believe this, but what I do to get around this problem (and another I'll describe) is to restart visual studio and reload the project. Another problem I have with report designer (VS 2013) is that it will complain a reference is missing, and not start at all, even though a reference is there. This happens when you stop the wizard prematurely or for other mysterious reasons. Again I restart VS and it works. These issue have plagued me since VS 2008.
