Visual Studio Report Designer 2015 Not Building to Target Server Version Correctly

I have an SSRS report project I'm working on in Visual Studio 2015, and I am unable to deploy my reports to the correct target server version.
The reports need to be able to deploy and run on SQL Server 2012, 2014 and 2016. Visual Studio 2015 allows for a Target Server Version option for the project of 2008R2, 2012, or 2014, which is what the target server version of the project is set to. The designer automatically upgraded the source RDL file schema to the 2016 version of the report once you open and do anything within it. I understand this part is by design.
The problem comes when you build the report. The build output files in the \bin\Debug or \bin\Release folders are not targeted to the correct server version. The following tag looks like it updates correctly in the output files:
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">
However, the build fails to remove and leaves behind all of the other SSRS 2016 tags within the built RDL files, and as such cannot be deployed to SSRS 2012 or 2014.
I have Visual Studio 2015 v 14.0.25431.01 installed with SQL Server Data Tools v14.0.60812.0 with SQL Server Reporting Services 13.0.1700.68.
Is there something that I'm missing that needs to be done as well besides setting Target Server Version to "2008R2, 2012, or 2014" to get it to build to the correct Target Server Version?
I had this same problem. What I needed to do to resolve this was
Clean the project
Under Project > Properties > General set TargetServerVersion to "SQL Server 2008"
Set TargetServerVersion to "SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012 or 2014"
Rebuild the project
Your project should now deploy to the correct version

Can I create SSRS Reports in VS 2015 using SQL Server 2008 R2?

I'm new to SSRS.
Recently upgraded my development environment from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition. Currently my reports are made using Crystal Reports. I would like to to use SSRS and I'm trying find out my current environment will allow me to do it.
So now I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
Can I create SSRS Reports using these two?
If yes, how can I create it?
I know how to create a report and publish it using the Business Intelligence Development Studio in SQL Server 2008 R2. But could not understand how I could use those reports in my WebApplication project in Visual Studio 2015.
Also would like to know - Is it possible to reuse my existing datasets which I'm using in my Crystal Reports?
Should I upgrade my SQL Server version?
Yes, you can create reports for SSRS 2008 R2 with VS 2015. You will need to download, and install, the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) at the following link.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
To build reports, create a new project using the Report Server Project template found under Templates/Business Intelligence in the New Project dialog. (After you install SSDT)
This is the replacement for BIDS, so much of what you see should look familiar.
Not sure about the Crystal Reports datasets, but you should be able to reuse any SQL or stored procedures that may be a part of these.
Should you upgrade? At some point, sure, but it isn't required. SQL Server 2016 is about to be here, and you are working with a product that is over 4 years old, and more than likely going to be out of support soon, if it isn’t already.
There is a setting in Visual Studio (See above answers for more details.)
There is a setting in
Project --> Properties --> TargetServerVersion
Note that here, server means database server or db-server, as opposed to web server or report-server.
But note well: For me, it is only the version in the folder:
..Projects\myProject1\myProject1\bin\Debug
that will actually deploy and work.

TFS - Not able to configure reporting services : Edit option no visible

I am trying to configure reporting services in TFS 2015, but there no Edit link visible on TFS Administration console.
I have upgraded server from TFS 2010 to TFS 2015.
.
Thanks in advance
Please make sure you have configured below settings before adding a report server.
Q: What kind of report server can I add?
A: You'll need to add SQL Server Reporting Services to provide a
report server for TFS. This can be added to the SQL Server instance
that is supporting TFS, or to a different instance.
Q: What permissions do I need?
A: You need to be a member of the local administrators group on the
server, the Team Foundation Administrators group in TFS, and the
sysadmin group in SQL Server, or have the equivalent permissions.
Also note:If you installed TFS on a client operating system, such as Windows 7, you can't add reporting as described here, because it isn't supported on client operating systems.

SSDT to open existing reports on existing report server

I don't know how to open existing reports on existing report server using SSDT.
I update my computer to SQL Server 2014 and SSDT.
Previously when I used SQL Server 2008, I used Report Builder to open existing reports by connecting existing Report Server.
How could I do like that using SSDT?
SSDT-BI is the SQL Server 2014 equivalent of the Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) development environment shipped with earlier versions of SQL Server. It is not a replacement for Report Builder, which is a seperate development tool. For SQL Server 2014 you will need to download the latest version of Report Builder from the Microsoft website:

Tool for Developing SSRS Reports

I only have SSMS 2008 Express on my dev machine. What tools are there that I can use to develop, maintain, and manage server side SSRS reports on this machine?
You need BIDS - Business Intelligence Development Studio, which is the Visual Studio shell for developing reports that target SQL Reporting Services, and is included as part of Reporting Services install.
You can download SQL Express with Advanced Services from here. This version of SQL Express includes Reporting Services.
sqlserver express may have some sp things. there's one tool is for ssrs development. you can check it out.
