I have a problem that started Monday (10/1/18) where the query designer for report projects (*.rptproj) has changed, I believe to the Report Builder Visual Designer. This has the unfortunate effect of me having to use the Text-Based Designer for managing the dataset query in the report, which is less than optimal.
When I try to change out of the Text-Based Designer, I get this message:
This happens for all our reports in our Reporting project. Has anyone else run into this issue? All of my Google-Fu attempts to find a solution have failed.
From what I can tell, the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension in VS was updated on 9/28/18, but I don't see anything in the change log for such a change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks to #B1313, his answer has to his question has done the trick for me.

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.
I have been working with SSRS for 2 years now in a SQL 2008 R2 environment. I have been using Visual Studio 2008 BIDS interface to develop and maintain reports. Frankly, I am appalled by the quality of this software and it's Preview option. I have been documenting my gripes (reached number 48). Simple things like unsupported copy/paste using keyboard shortcuts, appalling error reporting, very flaky subreport concept, awful intellisense, missing undo option in many circumstances etc etc. I have lost many hours of development time working around issues such as these. I am dumbfounded as to how software could ever be released in such a state.
Anyway, I currently have no option to move from the SQL 2008 R2 environment but I am wondering whether, if I start to use the Visual Studio 2010 environment as my IDE (rather than Visual Studio 2008) whether I might see any improvements?
Any help with this would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
We currently use Report Builder with ColdFusion. This Report Builder hasn't seen any Adobe development in around 5 years and doesn't look like it will see any soon.
I need a scalable reporting solution that will work in the cloud without huge licencing implications. I've looked at Crystal (which I don't understand the pricing or what I need) and JasperReports with iReport, and I guess that Microsoft SQL Reporting is an option also.
I'd like to get some recommendations on what people are using and how you have integrated that into ColdFusion. I appreciate that it may not be as seamless as Report Builder.
We are using Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 in a Cloud infrastructure.
What ever solution we come up with, the resulting output of the reports need to be PDF.
I've used Crystal, SQL Report Builder and ColdFusion Report Builder.
Crystal and SQL Report Builder are much better than ColdFusion Report Builder. Like you said CF is not going anywhere and is really buggy to me.
Crystal is great but it becomes really expensive when you want to publish reports to the web. The standard product requires a report viewer that is installed locally. If you need to publish to the web it is much more expensive.
SQL Report Builder is a really good option. Version 3.0 is really nice and makes it very easy to write advanced SQL queries or call SPs and publish to the web.
I am a pretty big fan of SQL Report Builder.
Hope this helps.
I just got Visual Studio 2010 and need to create a web application using LINQ to SQL. I started writing the web app but can't add a .DBML file to the solution. The option isn't there when I go to Add -> New Item.
Am I missing something from the installation CD? Did they change something from Visual Studio 2008? I haven't written in .NET for about a year, so I'm out of the loop.
Thanks very much for any help.
I can't believe this - I just starting developing an SSRS report, using a SQL 2008 Report Server project in VS 2008. When I try to render the report in the VS 2008 ReportViewer control, I get this error
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an
invalid target namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition'
which cannot be upgraded."
I understand the error, and it has been well-documented all over the web over the past year and a half or so, but can it be that there is still no way of viewing these reports in the latest ReportViewer control? In other words, all these announcements from last year that MS would release an updated ReportViewer control in Q1 of 2009 that can render SSRS 2008 reports were wrong?
The only workaround is to install SQL Server 2005 RS? How have others solved this? Switch to VS 2010? Can I register the 2010 ReportViewer control with my VS2008 project, and is that going to solve the problem? So many questions, but no answers ...
Unfortunately, that is indeed the truth :-(
See Bill Vaughn's Retraction: The ReportViewer Control Does NOT Support SQL Server 2008 RDL in Local Mode for more details.
Hard to believe - but true :-( Let's hope it'll be better in Reporting Services for SQL Server 2010 - eerrghh... 2008 R2 :-)
