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 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 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?
There is an SSRS report embedded into SharePoint that needs to be fixed (the report does). I am familiar with SSRS and SharePoint, but not with the two together. Usually when I work with SSRS it is in Visual Studio. I can fix reports from there, and deploy them to the report server. But I'm not sure how the report got to SharePoint. Someone else put it there and now they are gone and I need to fix it. How do I go about editing / fixing an SSRS report on a SharePoint site? Where is this report anyways, on the report server with a link to it? I cannot find it there.
Please help.
Once in Sharepoint, click the dropdown arrow next to the report as shown below and choose 'Edit in Report Builder'.
Report Builder will take a few minutes to open. Once Report Builder is open, then you can edit the report and save it. Refresh the SharePoint site and your report will be updated.
Depending on your version of SSMS. I have SSMS 2008R2, which is compatible with Report Builder 3.0
Here's the link to download Report Builder 3.0

I had the same struggle once. Hope this helps.
Is there any way to refresh a subreport in Reporting Services?
When I change something on a subreport file and back to the main report, I have to delete the subreport object and include a new instance again to get my preview updated.
Is there any way to update the sub report object in the main report without having to delete and include the same again?
Actually I think the answer is to ensure that you preview or rebuild the sub-report before you view it in the parent report.
The simplest way to rebuild a subreport is to preview it in BIDS, but you can also right-click | build on the report in the Solution Explorer. Alternatively, rebuild your whole report project if that's easier than rebuilding individual reports.
In BIDS, in your top level report, you should have a Subreport object. That object is essentially just a pointer to another rdl in the project. This should update automatically. What i think you're seeing is BIDS loading a stale version of the subreport. If this happens try closing BIDS all the way down and open the project back up again and rerun the parent report. It should have the updated subreport.
This is all assuming that you've got a report project in bids with standalone reports instead of embedding reports in aspx pages.
I realize this is an old post, but as can happen, I was someone with the issue as well and landed here through searching google. I'm not sure if the OP is using Visual Studio 2008 like one of the commenters is, as am I, but what I found is that while preview on the main report is not showing an updated sub-report, I can see the update by right clicking on the main report in the solution explorer and selecting "run". It doesn't seem to take much longer if at all to open the separate run window.
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.
