I just need to know, how can I identify the type of SSRS report from Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012?
For Example: Whether the existing report is table(tablix) or matrix report.
There is no such thing as a tablix or a matrix report in any version of SSRS post 2005. Each report can have charts, tables, matrices, etc all on the one report.
The only way you can know what is contained in the report is to open it and have a look.

I know the basic difference between RDLC and RDL, both almost the same uses XML schemas just different designer platform (SQL and Visual Studio). I wondering to know why both have a different graphic, like chart interface, chart style and anything else. I would like to use RDLC but the graphic looks older than RDL(SSRS), assumed SSRS 2016.
Is it possible if I have RDLC reporting like SSRS contents?
I need to display the field names from dataset bound to each column on the report. Is there an option in SSRS to display the report in design mode when you run the report through report viewer?
Or are there any other suggestions on how to do this?
Related to a
question I've asked earlier regarding SSRS, could anyone please tell me - Is it possible to reuse an existing dataset in SSRS?
I know we can have shared datasets and we can convert a dataset to a shared one too.
Currently we are using Crystal Reports. We are trying to migrate to SSRS. So we were trying to reuse the existing dataset which we've used to create Crystal Reports. There is no option I could see to convert this dataset to a shared dataset so that I can reuse it. I could see the option to convert a new dataset to a shared dataset but not an old one. Or else what are the other options?
We're using VisualStudio 2015, SSDT for VisualStudio 2015, SQL Server 2008 R2.
Hope someone could help me.
SSRS can't use a Crystal Reports Dataset. But you can take the same query you used from Crystal Reports and paste it into a new Dataset in SSRS.
SSRS datasets are specific to SSRS reports, you can't migrate dataset from any other reporting service to SSRS. In your case, you can create a new dataset similar to crystal report by copying your query in new SSRS dataset and by refreshing the parameters/fields values in report being used with that dataset.
In case dataset is to be used by multiple reports you can use shared dataset.
I prepared a report. I have used 15 subreports for the main report. When I deploy my report then all the subreports are also deployed in the Report Manager. I just want to see Main Report in the Report Manager instead of all reports. The snapshots are below. Is there any way advise me?
You'll need to go to the properties of the sub reports and hide them in tile view. You can't actually completely hide them but this will hide them from most users.
I'm trying to migrate our reporting from Crystal report to MS Reporting Service. In the Crystal Report report designer, I can organize sections of the report, including inserting sections, adding suppress conditions. Please kindly advise how can I achieve those in MS Business Intelligence Studio (built in Visual Studio 2008).
Thank you!

To organize sections, take a look at Subreports. You can add several elements to a subreport, and then add the subreport to the main report. Then you can set the visibility of the whole subreport in an expression.
MSDN: SSRS Subreports
in ssrs you can add new expressions for controlling of the report behaviors. for example you can write an expression for controlling of a textbox visibility.
