Visual Studio 2015 not able to locate custom report assembly

Question

I am getting this error in Visual Studio 2015 report project. This project builds fine in VS2012. I suspect VS2015 is not able to locate a custom assembly at compile time. But I am not sure which all paths it is searching.

Error [rsErrorLoadingCodeModule] Error while loading code module: ‘xxxx.Reports.SDK, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'xxxx.Reports.SDK, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have already deployed my custom assembly on these locations but it did not help.

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies

- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

- C:\Program    Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
   Services\ReportServer\bin  

- C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin

- C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin

Please help me resolve this issue. Thanks.

You should deploy your custom assembly to the VS2015 Folder for private assemblies (in standard installations: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies"
