My app (winforms .net 2.0 / vs2008) works fine on my dev machine but on one of test machines i’m getting this exception. Has anybody encountered something similar?

The vs2008 designer for reports and report viewer are not backwards compatible with 2.0. In the same way you cannot design 2005 reports with vs2008 – that may be your issue.
