I want to create a report in Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008 but I don't know how can I do that. I create a report in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio but I don't know the relation between this report and Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008.
How can I use Reporting Services and create a report in it?
The report server is where you store your reports so that people can run them centrally. You can deploy your report from BIDS to the report server.
You can also log in to the report server and run a tool called report builder to create and deploy reports without having to use BIDS.
Have a look at the following link for how to get started with reporting services:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522672(v=sql.105).aspx
Since you already create report, you can directly upload your .rdl file directly to reporting service. If you don't know how to configure your reporting service, please refer to here . You can also use reporting service manage URL to see your uploaded report, and you can also open from there to use report builder to directly edit your report.

I'm unable to generate a report from the web based interface (Report Manager). The same report in my Visual Studio project works perfectly.
The error which appear when trying to generate the report from the web is
"Cannot create a connection to data source"
The log file error is the fallowing
Cannot get edition information from catalog server.
The report data is retreived from an SQL Azure database.
How come the report can work inside my Visual Studio project but no more once deployed?
I've tried both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008 on fresh machines and both gives the same result.
Thanks,
After a half day of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered it was because the edition of SSRS I am using does not support Azure SQL Databases as a data source.
I am using 2008 Express Advanced Edition. It appears Standard or above is required for this.
See this article for more information:

We are using SQL Server 2012:
one team develops datawarehouse
one team is in charge of reports using Report Builder
We use shared datasets.
When .rdl files are saved on local machine, we can see that <ReportServerURL> is fully embedded in file, in Shared DataSet section. How can we easily deploy the .rdl on another report server (production environment) without having to edit (by hand/script) all .rdl files?
As far as I know <ReportServerURL> is just a hint for Report Builder. It is not used by server, so reports can be safely deployed to another report server
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

I am new to SSRS. I have developed some reports using BIDS using SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) when I run them from my machine reports are running ok. But there are not appearing from SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS). Even when I open SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) in a web broswer
I can not see the reports on SSRS. How can I ensure that these reports are appearing or can be seen on SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) URL?
Please help.
Have you deployed them?
Right-Click on the report and go to Deploy
or
In the Build menu select "Deploy projectname"
You may have to set the project properties first for TargetServerURL to something like
http://SSRSserver/reportserver
They can be found in the Project menu under "projectname Properties"
There are two options to deploy your reports on server -
1] You can directly deploy it from your VS by right clicking on your report & selecting deploy option, here you need to mention target server -
http://[server name]/ReportServer
2] If you are able to access report server then web browser provide one option to upload your reports. So you can upload your report directly on report server (.rdl file). Here you need to set proper connnection string & permission rights to access the report.
Hope this will help you..!!
