Creating a SSRS report using a mySQL data source

I need to setup a report server using SQL Server Reporting Services with MySQL datasource. I am using a ODBC connection to connect MySQL. Using this connection I am able to add a dataset in my reporting project in Visual Studio 2015.
Using this dataset I can create a reports in Visual Studio and it show me preview as well using my table from MySQL, So far so good only problem arise when I try to deploy my reports to my local machine it show following error :
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'ODBC' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
I am using SQL Server 2012 Express Edition and I follow this tutorial to connect report with MySql.

Can you please help me to know what I am doing wrong here? Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know if any other information needed.
Thank you
I do not think this is supported in express dev version.

If you have the full version, it can be easily done, via the instructions you linked above.

Data missing in HTML on SSDT16 and Report Builder

I'm having an issue with the soft render of a simple report in both SSDT and Report Builder environments in 2016. I'm sure there is a sample solution but I'm unable to find a solution on the web/forum.
I'm actually just using a simple tablix from AdventureworksDW2016CTP3 with a couple of fields inserted. The data might initially display but disappears after modifying the field length or switching between design and preview. More interestingly, the report views perfectly when utilising print preview and it exports to .pdf correctly... and also views correctly when deployed to the report server.
All is installed locally on my laptop with Windows 10 and Administrator privileges. I have repaired and upgraded Visual Studio and SSDT to the latest version but without any luck.
I've added images of the simple design, soft render and print preview as well as Visual Studio System Info at the bottom.
Thanks

After much testing it appears that the problem came down to my graphics driver - Intel HD Graphics 5500.
The problem still occurred after I updated the driver so I then disabled it... which solved the problem. I then reinstalled the driver and all is now working as expected.

ReportViewer problems

I've been trying to get a report running through Microsoft ReportViewer in Visual Studio 2012. Here is my situation.
I have a report (.rdl file) that was originally created through Microsoft Reporting Services running on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server.
I originally tried moving it into a VB.NET project running through Visual Studio 2005, but when I converted the .rdl file to .rdlc and tried to bring it into the VS 2005, I could not view the .rdlc file in design time. A while after that, I figured out that this was due to schema compatibility issues because of the fact that the report was created on a SQL Server 2008 server.
So then I tried creating a project through Visual Studio 2012 instead, which we also had in house. This time I was successfull at being able to view the report in design time. However after that, I ran into run time issues because I was using Version 8 of the Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms dll. I believe that this was also due to a schema comaptibility issue
So now, I'm trying to move up to using a newer version of the Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms dll (Version 11). When I remove the Version 8 and add the version 11 instead in my references, everything appears to be fine at first, no errors present. However, when I try to build my project I get the many compile errors all over the place like the following:
Type 'Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer' is not defined.
The wierdest part is that if I were to remove and re-add the reference, or check one of the Microsoft.Reporting references in the Imported namespace, all the errors go away. But when I rebuild the project the errors come back, and I'm stuck.
I'm currently running the Microsoft .NET framework 4.5 on my computer, and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 as my development platform.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Doug

Reporting Services Built in 2012 Deploy in 2008

I have been working for a client who run SQL Server 2008 in their live environment. I had been working onsite for a period but now work from home. However, due to security, I cannot connect to the live setup, I can only connect to a test server. This server runs SQL Server 2012. I script any code and send it to the office for someone to deploy. The problem I have is I am now doing some reporting services work. They are only pretty basic reports, tablix controls, nothing fancy. Is is possible to build on 2012 and deploy to 2008? Can I do something with the .rdl file to make this work or is it not going to be feasible?
Thanks in advance
In the Properties of the ReportServer Project in Visual Studio you can set the target server version.
Right click the Project in the Solution Explorer pane and set the TargetServerVersion Property to the required version. This works for reports SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 onwards. The designer will then manage what features are available to avoid using features from a later version of SSRS.
The .rdl files are nicely formated XML. You can use your favorite diff tool to compare reports generated in either version of the tool.
I'm pretty sure that Microsoft doesn't support moving a newer RDL to an older version server.
There were huge changes to the .rdl format between 2005 and 2008, moderate changes between 2008 and 2008R2, but I haven't really looked into 2008R2 versus 2012. From what I've seen these should be smaller changes yet.
If you do this you are off of the golden supported brick road. Since this server is production, and you don't have a good way to test this, I would find a 2008 server to develop with. I wouldn't want my name connected with the possible problems that could come up with a hack to move the rdl backwards.

Using the WebForms ReportViewer 10.0 with a Reporting Services 2012 instance

Does anyone know definitively whether the ReportViewer 10.0 webforms control works correctly against a Reporting Services 2012 instance?
Our application uses v10.0 of the webforms ReportViewer control and typically we connect to one of several 2008 SSRS instances. However we have had to setup a new secure environment for one of our clients and have deployed our application to it. We are seeing some strange behavior and I just found out that this new environment runs SQL Server 2012 and therefore SSRS 2012.
The problem we are seeing is that some users of the web application get the following message in the ReportViewer control:
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
This doesn't seem like a client specific issue since the connection to the SSRS server is made by the application and the rendered output is sent to the client. Before we go too far into troubleshooting this issue I feel like I need to try and verify whether this combination should work ok, or if there are known incompatibilities.
Unfortunately it's a fairly big effort to just swap out the ReportViewer control we are using to the latest version that aligns with SSRS 2012 and so I'm trying to see if anyone has successfully gotten this to work without issues or not.
Thanks.
