As you all know Visual Studio using 2005 schema to create RDLC reports.
SSRS 2008 use 2008 schema to create RDL reports.
So I'm looking for a solution to change VS 2005 schema to 2008 schema. How to do this.
will this issue fix with installing Report Viewer 2010 or not ?
You should be able to install Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from the SSRS2008 install, and then just open the old reports in it, they get automatically updated to the new schema. But this will also mean that your report will no longer run on SSRS2005.

I downloaded Visual Studio 2008 from Microsoft.
Visual Studio 2008: (3,30 GB) http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e-fa03-485b-953b-ff952e402520/VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso
Final objective is to use SQL Server agent to execute SSIS tasks and later build an ASP.NET website to show SSRS reports.
After Visual Studio installation, I can't find SSIS and SSRS options inside.
I know SSIS and SSRS is part of SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard installation. Any idea how I can include it in my Visual Studio as an add on ? My SQL Server is running on another server. If I install VS which part of the SQL Server installation, I don't have the ASP.Net option.
Hope you can give me some advice. Thanks.
Run the SQL Server installation and look for the component:
Business Intelligence Development Studio add-ins to Microsoft Visual Studio
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".
I have many reports which I designed in VS 2010 Pro, now I only have VS 2012 Express, when I open the report it only opens as an XML file. I have been looking for solutions for ages without any success.
How can I view the designer (I tried installing Sql Server 2008
Express /w Advance Services) ?
Are there any external designers that can see the custom Data Types?
(I have tried fyiReporting)
If both of the above are not possible, then is there anywhere I can
find out how to edit the file by hand?
Many thanks.
If your reports were designed in VS 2010 that implies they are in SQL Server 2012 format. I would try SQL Server 2012 Express. It includes Report Designer via the Express edition of Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
The RDL specification is also available on MSDN if you prefer.
You can download the Report Builder according to your SQL Server version
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP4 Report Builder
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Report Builder
Microsoft® Report Builder SQL Version >= 2016
NOTE: I downloaded 2008 version and when you open a file with the Report Builder the extension says .rdl, if you have .rdlc just choose All Items (*.*)
Also you don't need to have SQL Server installed to create/modify a report but if you want to test it you have to install it
Here are the schema definitions for the RDL format according the SQL Server version
I am building SharePoint 2010 application using Visual Studio 2010 and the database is SQL Server 2008 R2, Enterprise version. Now I need to create SSRS reports in our application. I need to create a separate project for Reporting, but could find report project template and not even the business Intelligence section. Can someone guide me creating SSRS reports in specified environment and connect to SharePoint 2010.
To create SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2008R2 projects, you'll be using BIDS (Business Intelligence Developer Studio), which runs in Visual Studio 2008. If you install SQL 2012 Developer Tools, this integrates with Visual Studio 2010, and you can target SSRS 2008R2. If you do not have access to 2012, you're stuck with VS2008.
Report Service Project template is only available in VS 2008 when install SQL Server 2008.
Even VS 2010 utilmate have no this template. How to add it to VS 2010?
You cannot. VS 2010 doesn't have BIDS and therefore you cannot create SSRS reports in VS 2010. You'll have to use VS 2008 (as I do) or use Report Builder 2 or 3.
I have been told that once SQL Server 'Denali' is released, BIDS will be added to VS 2010.
