Web part controls don't work after sites are migrated to SharePoint Server 2016

After you migrate the sites on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 to SharePoint Server 2016, the following web part controls no longer work on the migrated sites:

• SpListFilterWebPart
• ExcelWebRenderer
• ReportViewerWebpart

These web part controls were replaced by new versions in SharePoint Server 2016.

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.

Delete the web part controls and then reinsert them.

To do this, add the following entries in the web.config file for the migrated Web Apps.

SpListFilterWebPart

Add the following entry to the SafeControls section:

<SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls" TypeName="SpListFilterWebPart" Safe="True" />   

ExcelWebRenderer

Add the following entry to the assemblyBinding section of the web.config file:

<dependentAssembly>   
 <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Office.Excel.WebUI" publicKeyToken="71e9bce111e9429c" />   
 <!-- Assembly versions can be redirected in application, publisher policy, or machine configuration files. -->   
 <bindingRedirect oldVersion="15.0.0.0" newVersion="16.0.0.0"/>   
 </dependentAssembly>   

ReportViewerWebPart

Add the following entry to the SafeControls section:

<SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" Namespace="Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.UI.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
