How to integrate ssrs 2008 rdl into Visual studio 2005? - reporting-services

How can I integrate the SSRS 2008 Reportviewer and SSRS 2008 RDL into Visual Studio 2005 (.net 2.0)?
Is there any possibility to use SSRS Report Viewer 2008 in VS 2005(ver 2.0) either direct or using any .msi or using any other component??
Please help me....
Thanks in advance

You can use the report viewer web interface if you not running this locally by using the reporting web service. You will use the webbrowser control in your project and display the report right from the report server. This works nicely!

How to Add Report Viewer tools in Visual Studio 2022 C# Windows form application

I can't add Report Viewer tools in Visual studio 2022 .I am using c# desktop application.
Can anyone help me?
you need to install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022
First of all you have to download RDLC extension for Reporting "Microsoft.RdlcDesigner.vsix" From the below link:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio2022
Then try to install at your machine by closing Visual Studio before installation. Then restart your machine then you will be able to see option for Report or Report Wizard to create and design reports.
Install ReportViewerCore.Winform nuget package and also Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022 extension from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio2022
RDLC Report item template, Report Application project template, and RDLC report Designer
Install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022 extension on Visual Studio, to add adds "Report Application" project template, and "RDLC Report" item template and the "RDLC Report Designer" to Visual Studio.
Note: If you create a "Report Application" project, since it has preinstalled Nuget package of ReportViewer, then you don't need to explicitly install the package yourself. Make sure you rebuild the project after created.
Add ReportViewr Control to toolbox of WinForms application
Install Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms Nuget Package on a .NET Framework Windows Forms project, to add ReportViewer control to toolbox. .
Note: It doesn't include the RDLC report template and the report designer, so you usually need to install above VS extension as well. But you don't necessarily need to create "Report Application", a normal Windows Forms .NET Framework app, and then installing the NuGet package does the same thing as the Report Application app (without a wizard at the beginning). Make sure you rebuild the project after you installed the package
Reporting Service Reports project template, RDL item template, and RDL report designer
Install Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022 which is for creating Report .rptproj projects which is for Reporting Service Reports (RDL);
Note: It doesn't add the RDLC report template or Report Application project template, or RDLC report designer, and you only want it if you want to have a report server project and deploy the project to SSRS.
.NET CORE 3.1, and .NET 5+
Above solutions works for .NET Framework projects. If you want ReportViewr for .NET 5+ , or .NET Core 3.1+ you may want to use ReportViewer Core

Converting SSRS from Native Mode to SharePoint Integrated Mode

I am trying to follow this article to convert an SSRS instance from Native Mode to SharePoint Integrated Mode.
I am stuck at section “Configure SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode”, step 9. As you can see by my screenshot, the option to change the Report Server Mode is disabled.
My SSRS instance is SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise Edition.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Looks like a separate instance of SSRS for SharePoint is required for SQL Server 2012.

SSRS 2008 Deployment issue

I developed RDL using SSRS 2008 and when I deploy the reports on SSRS 2005 running server, It resulted below 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."
Any idea how can I deploy my reports without recreating the reports on SSRS 2005.
There are significant differences between SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2005. I don't think there is any easy way to deploy a 2008 .rdl to 2005.
There were some hacks that would let you deploy a 2005 .rdl to a SSRS 2000 server; but the differences in those formats were minor.
SSRS 2008 started using the tablix control for tables, lists and matrixes. These controls were different types in SSRS 2005.
Sorry for the bad news, but I think you will need to rebuild the report in 2005 or deploy to a 2008 server.

Can SQL Server Report Services Designer be rehosted?

I would like to be able to edit and create at run time reports based on SQL Server Reporting Services from my application. Can SQL Server Report Services Designer control be rehosted in a custom .Net application outside Visual Studio, in a similar manner to how the WF workflow designer does? Is there any code sample for this?
Use Report Builder for designing reports outside of Business Intelligence Development Studio. If you want to launch report builder from a hyperlink, make sure at least SQL Server 2008 SP1 is installed on the report server and use this URL:
http://<servername>/reportserver/reportbuilder/ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application

Using SSRS 2008 Report in CRM 4.0 Application

Is it possible to design a 2008 SSRS report and use it in a CRM 4 application. 2008 Has much nicer controls and report designer.
Yes, it is more dependent on the backing database. If CRM is setup with SQL Server 2008 it will support Report Builder 2008 reports. If SQL Server 2005, the reports will need to be built in Visual Studio 2005 with the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) installed. 2005 reports can be easily upgraded to 2008 reports but 2008 reports are not backwards compatible and cannot be easily converted back to 2005 reports.
You can setup a SQL Server 2008 SSRS instance and use that for reporting while continuing to use SQL 2005 for the database.
