I can't report a problem with visual studio going in help > Send Feedback > Report Problem. I click on the menu item and nothing happens. I ask for help here since there is no other way to get support for VS i could find.
Re-install Visual Studio Code or update to another version of it.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Shell and I have had to change my ProtectionLevel to 'DontSaveSensitive' mid project.
Now I get an error: Basic Checks.dtsx has a different ProtectionLevel than the project.
However, there is nowhere in the Project properties that I can see where the ProtectionLevel can be changed to match. All searches seem to indicate this is easy in VS 2012 but can't find any info for VS 2010
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Ravi
You have two different places where you can set ProtectionLevel.
First place is properties pane of a package, second place is properties pane of entire project (right click on a project and you will find it under Common Properties). Ensure that you have the same setting in both places.
I have just opened up a project that contains SSRs reports and yet I am unable to view them in Design Mode. When I click on them, only the XMLS appear and I am not sure how to resolve this in VS 2012 ?
In a version of Visual Studio that includes SQL Server Report Services, create a new Report Server Project.
In the new Report Server Project, right-click the project node in the Solution Explorer and choose "Add" > "Existing Item...". Then browse to and select the RDL file. Once it is in a Report Server Project, you can right-click the report and choose "View Designer" to see it in Design View. By default, it ought to open in Design View anyway.
If the file is not part of a Report Server Project, you'll only be able to view the XML text. Depending upon the Version of Visual Studio you may (or may not) get XML highlighting and intellisense.
Rename report as '.rdlc' it will open in design mode in Visual studio 2012
In Visual Studio 2015:
First make sure you have installed Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, then rename your reports to .rdls, right click on reports > Open With > Report Designer
If you are not able to create / add Report Server Project download and install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 from the location here (if you VS is 2012). Then create an new report server Reproting server project project Report Server Project and do as "add Existing Item" as my RDL report which need to be opened and go for design view. Then it will open the report in design mode.
You are missing Report Template in visual studio
Got to Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features.
Select you Visual Studio Version, right click and 'Change'.
The Visual Studio Setup splashscreen should appear, Click on Modify at the bottom left, and then under 'Windows and Web Development' select Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. The Reporting option should then appear in your installed updates.
After installing Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, you would need to install Report Viewer for Visual Studio 2017 (or which ever version you are using)... that worked for me from link below:

You can force open it by Right click on RDL file and click on View Designer to see the RDL in design mode.
Once you have the needed extensions (Microsoft Reporting Services, Report Designer) installed and everything updated, what worked for me was to open the .rptproj project, and then open the needed .rdl.
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.
See same question: How to rebuild the Visual Studio Toolbox?
What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
I want to create the report in my application using the reportViewer control.
I have added the ReportViewer control to WindowsForm from the toolbox. From the smart tag I, I selected the option Design a New Report. When I click on the design a new report, I am getting a .rdlc report, but I want to design it using a Wizard. I am not getting the Wizard can anyone tell me how to get the wizard so that I can design the report in simple manner.
Please help me out in getting the wizard.
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know, there is no wizard for creating reports under Visual Studio 2005.
Sorry - your just going to have to cope with the WYSIWYG editor provided.
