We have a VS2008 solution with a project that had RDLC files. We generate them dynamically in code, and don't need the viewer.
However, when we converted to VS2010, when I open the .rdlc i don't get the designer, it just opens as XML. Even if I create a new rdlc from scratch in 2010, it opens in xml, not with the designer. Help!!!
Reporting Services development is done in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), which uses the Visual Studio shell. The Visual Studio 2010 shell is not yet supported. You'll have to edit the report in BIDS using the VS2008 shell.
Check the second note here for more info.

i want migrate from Visual Studio 2010 to 2017
in 2010 i'm using Data Report (and called SSRS)
how i use data report in Visual Studio 2017?
by the way, i can compile and run VS2010 app with reports, but i can't Design Reports, because editor show me RDLC files as XML structure.
then i install (Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio)
now i can design report files by easy, and i still can using Data Report as VS2010
I need to open an SSRS report that was created in Visual Studio 2005. To include HTML renderining, I need to convert or upgrade the file.
How to edit SSRS 2005 Reports in Visual Studio 2008 with included data source?
The File is opening in Design mode correctly but code is getting changed. Confuse with handling data source as both having different structure.
Please update!!
It automatically convert with all required changes. Data Source remained same.
When I Google and look up how to add a RDLC report to my Visual Studio 2013 Project I get the answer i'd expect, usually "In the Templates pane, select Report or Report Wizard"
This article is one of them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067(v=VS.100).aspx
Nowhere can I find anything about "what if there is no Reports section" in your installed Templates
For the last month I thought this was because I needed to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013. Yesterday I installed this. As a result I now appear to have a new version of Visual Studio 2013 called "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Integrated)". It has a purple icon and loads with a black splash image
My Project is currently running and being developed in Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web which has a green icon
If I try to load my project into the new Integrated Shell VS 2013 I get errors. What I really want is just to have the template available so I can add RDLC reports
I have already used MuGet to install MvcReportViewer and set my web config etc and references. Following instructions at https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvcReportViewer/
Now I need to create an RDLC but have no Template to do so
Could it be that VS-2013 Express has this feature turned off, because if I go into Help/About VS2013 Express for Web it has SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.30919.1 as an Installed product
Any comments appreciated
As far as I know, you can't use VS 2013 Express to edit RDLC files. It requires at least the professional version.
See: http://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/navteam/archive/2013/12/19/microsoft-visual-studio-2013-now-supported-for-rdlc-report-design.aspx
You can, however, create them in Sql Server Reporting Services, which is part of the advanced version of Sql Server Express Edition, using SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) Express.
Try to download (Microsoft Report viewer 2012 run-time)
& Report Builder3
- First is the tool that display & Print Report.
- Report Builder is the tool that you can design report with it.
You Must have SQL Server 2012 Installed
Using Visual Studio 2012 to design SSRS reports, I am able to add a new chart or a new table perfectly fine. They are unformatted, however. How can I launch the nice table/tablix/chart wizard inside Visual Studio like we are able to do in Report Builder 3?
The Report Builder wizard isn't available in Visual Studio. The closest available is the Report Wizard:
Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but I cannot find a way to add a Document Map to an RDLC file from within Visual Studio 2010 (or the stand-alone "Report Builder 2.0" for that matter).
I previous versions, such as 2005 and 2008, this was a simple matter of adding a document map label to a report item. But the property "Document Map Label" is no longer present.
Furthermore, I can't find a way to add a bookmark either.
If anyone can shed some light on this, that would be great!!
Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly which version you are referring to. Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) If you install BIDS from the SQL Server 2008 R2 disk it will install the shell of Visual Studio 2008. If you already have Visual Studio 2010, installing BIDS will still install the 2008 shell of visual studio and will load that if you try to make BI projects. If you install it from SQL Server 2012 it will install the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), which uses the Visual Studio 2010 Shell. I suppose that's the version you mean.
I've checked my version of BIDS from SQL Server 2008R2 and all the objects added to a report do have the DocumentMapLabel property. I've also just checked my SSDT from SQL 2012 and the property is still there. Select an object on the report and look in the properties window under "Other".
