Visual Studio 'Preview' tab builds entire solution - reporting-services

When Previewing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2017, every .rdl in the solution is built the first time. After that every .rdl is checked to see if it is 'Up-to-Date'. We have some very large solutions and I am wondering if there is a way to stop the 'Preview' from looking at every report every time?

SSRS Report RDL is not updating in the Dynamics CRM

I have a strange issue..., I was not able to see any updates made to my SSRS Report RDL in the Dynamics CRM, no luck even after changing the parameters and changing the details available in the report table.
After this when deployed to Dynamics CRM, it still shows me the old report, however this does open in my local in visual studio with the appropriate changes made...I am on Dynamics 365 9.0 version online.
Please let me know if there is any hack or trick to overcome this...I am struggling from last one day...couldn't find any proper fix for this online...
Kindly suggest....
Followed the below steps to solve the issue...posting here as it could help someone searching for this...
1.are you sure you are uploading the correct RDL file
2. Clean the VS Solution
3. Reload the project
4. Then rebuild the project in release mode, take the RDL from the release folder.
5. Delete the existing report and reload the one from Release folder and that's it.

SSRS Report - Subreport can't be found

Ok, I have an SSRS report that has 2 subreports in it. One works just fine and the other works in testing but when I publish the report to my AMS platform under their instructions, the subreport comes up saying it can't be found. I can run the report through Visual Studio and it works just fine without a problem and I have rebuilt the entire project a few times and republished but I still keep getting the same error. I know that the publishing is working because I made a change to the main report to expand the subreport area and allow me to see the full error and that published fine. Any reason this would work through Visual Studio but not when published? The report along with the 2 subreports all are in the same directory as well.
Additional note to this. I just went to the master report in Visual Studio and deleted the subreport from it. I then re-added it and gave it a different name. Rebuilt the report and re-uploaded it including the already uploaded sub report and I am getting the same error but the error is referring to the new name I gave the subreport so it picked up the name change but not the actual sub report for some reason
Sometimes SSRS website caches your old report and doesn't get overridden by your new reports. On the SSRS website, try removing all of your reports including the main report. Then re-deploy.

SSRS Report not updating in Preview in Visual Studio

I've never seen this problem before.
The report elements are not updating from changes made in the Design mode in Visual Studio (2015). It's not a data issue - even static text box changes are not appearing.
I had removed the Member ID column, combined the last and first names into a single Member Name column, added a couple of columns and renamed SEX to Gender. Here's the Design view.
These changes should appear when I click on Preview but Visual Studio displays the old report.
As I mentioned, I haven't seen this before and haven't found any similar issues when using Google-Fu. I have tried restarting VS but that was no help. The only thing I did to get from the first pic to the second is to press the Preview button in Visual Studio. I've been trying to make it update for over half an hour now. I've updated and created hundreds of SSRS report over the last 15 years but have never seen or heard of this issue.
Is there some new preview caching that SSRS is now doing? It seems similar to the dumb data caching issue but I don't see where the report would be cached. This is completely ridiculous - what moron would create a caching for something being developed so changes can't be viewed?
How can I see the correct preview in my SSRS report in Viusual Studio?

Edit SSRS report on SharePoint

There is an SSRS report embedded into SharePoint that needs to be fixed (the report does). I am familiar with SSRS and SharePoint, but not with the two together. Usually when I work with SSRS it is in Visual Studio. I can fix reports from there, and deploy them to the report server. But I'm not sure how the report got to SharePoint. Someone else put it there and now they are gone and I need to fix it. How do I go about editing / fixing an SSRS report on a SharePoint site? Where is this report anyways, on the report server with a link to it? I cannot find it there.
Please help.
Once in Sharepoint, click the dropdown arrow next to the report as shown below and choose 'Edit in Report Builder'.
Report Builder will take a few minutes to open. Once Report Builder is open, then you can edit the report and save it. Refresh the SharePoint site and your report will be updated.
Depending on your version of SSMS. I have SSMS 2008R2, which is compatible with Report Builder 3.0
Here's the link to download Report Builder 3.0

I had the same struggle once. Hope this helps.

SSRS showing different data in reportserver and Microsoft Visual Studio

In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.
