I have old projects that use ReportViewer with the following schemas;
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition" and mlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition"
Now I'm using VS 2017.
I have installed the Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio through Extensions and Update, so, when I open a rdlc that was created on 2008/01/reportdefinition it works fine and I can modify it without problem.
However if I open a rdlc created on 2010/01/reportdefinition the report designer request me convert the rdlc to the newer version of: xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition"
Can someone explain why this happens? And how I can get the 2010/01 version to behave like the 2008/01 rather than force me to upgrade.

Hello I have used this very useful Adding Barcode to Report Builder 3.0 until today with my Microsoft Report Builder - Version 12.0.6024.0. It works like a charm with no issues but now I'm in need of upgrading my reports into a newer version of Microsoft Report Builder - Version 15.0.19611.0. For some reason the barcodes does not show up in the newer version. Does anyone know how to make this work?
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.
I'm trying to create a report in SSRS (Visual Studio 2012) for Dynamics 2011 using fetchXML. I have downloaded and installed the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Report Authoring Extension (with SQL Server Data Tools support) but I cannot find the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch Type when I try to create a report, please, does any one have any suggestions?
Probably you are trying to create the report in some already existed project, I had the same issue with VS2010 in that case.
To make Fetch XML data source be visible you must create new project in Visual Studio. If all installations were successful, you must be able to create project with Business Intelligence/Report Server Project template, than create new report and in Report Data window (if it not appears automatically - just click on any place on report, go to View menu and find Report Data window) right click on Datasets, than pick "Use a dataset embeded in my report", click "New..." button near Data source drop down and there you should see Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch connection type.
Have no possibility to test this with VS2012, hope this will help.
As far as I know the latest version of SQL is SQL 2012 and BIDS for it is done using VS2010. So answer is quite simple - you would not be able to build a report using VS2012, you will have to use VS2010.
You're missing the Report Authoring Extensions. Install these and you'll have the FetchXML in the list.
If you've upgraded to a later CRM version since this post, just search on that version of extension installer instead (2013/2015/2016).
I have two reports in a report project that have somehow been updated to use the 2010 report defintion;
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition" ...>
However, all other reports in the project, including new reports added to the project use the 2008 definition;
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" ...>
How can i force this update across the other reports in the project?
=EDIT=
The Visual Studio 2012 compatibility chart specific to SQL Server Report Project says;
If you add a feature that’s specific to Visual Studio 2012, the report
schema is upgraded automatically and you can no longer open the
project in Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
Now i just need to figure out what a 2012 feature is...
One option is to add a Map (2012 feature) to the report, save it, then delete the Map, and save again. Note that adding the Map and deleting before saving will not enforce the upgrade.
In the report properties find InitialPageName an give it a value. InitialPageName is a 2010 feature, as well as the PageName property that can be set on various report elements, such as Tablix and Graph.
I just started working with other developers. When they send .rdl files back to me and i try to open the file through visual studio 2005, it shows some raw html rather than the design view. The html says:
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below.
The Report element was not found.
How can i fix this?
For anyone who has the same problem, I figured it out:
The developers modified and saved using 'Report Builder'(v. 3.0). Report Builder 3.0 is designed to support SSRS 2008 R2 only and supports a new version of the RDL schema, which is not compatible with SSRS 2005. So, i had to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services instead.
