Custom entity missing from File -> New Record menu in Dynamics CRM 2011 - ribbon

We have an On-Premises version of Dynamics CRM 2011. A custom entity that I created is missing from the File -> New Record menu. Any idea how to get it there?
I have rights to create the entity. I've been using the Visual Ribbon Editor to hide and add some buttons on lots of different entities.

How can the CustomerRef field from SalesTable be added to the CustAccountStatementExt report?

In Microsoft Dynamics Ax2012 R2 I want a customization for report CustAccountStatementExt by adding the field CustomerRef from SalesTable
Location of report in the AOT :
SSRS Reports\Reports\CustAccountStatementExt
You have to open Visual studio 2010 (only supported version for AX 2012 R2) and open this repot from Application Explorer (View -> Application Explorer Ctrl+D,Enter).
MSDN:
Walkthrough: Customizing Existing Microsoft Dynamics AX Reports
How to: Customize a Report
Visual Studio Tools for AX must be installed from the AX Setup.
In addition to Matej's answer (which only covers the customization of the report layout) you also have to make the field available in the report data source. To do that you have to add a new field to table CustAccountStatementExtTmp that will hold the value of the CustomerRef field from table SalesTable.
You will also have to customize the creation of the CustAccountStatementExtTmp records which in this case is surprisingly done in the report controller class CustAccountStatementExtController (usually the report tables are filled in the data provider class). This will require some work, because you have no direct way to access the SalesTable record there. Basically you have to figure out how to determine the sales order from the CustTrans record that is available there.
After that, you still have to customize CustAccountStatementExtDP.insertNewRecords method because for some reason the records are copied from one instance of the (temporary) table CustAccountStatementExtTmp to another.
After that the new field should show up in the data set of the report in Visual Studio and you can then include it in the report layout (see Matej's answer on how to do that).
Here are the steps I followed to accomplish this:
Add field to the CustAccountStatementExtTmp table
Add code to CustAccountStatementExtController.insertCustAccountStatementExtTmp method to populate the new field.
Refresh the data source in the SSRS report, and in the report design (and then re-open the design).
Add the field to the report
At this point I also had to restart the AOS before the data would appear on the report. Apparently there was something cached in memory that prevented it from working.

SSRS Report Wizard custom template

Before I begin, this is more of a follow up on the question asked here: SSRS 2008 R2 - Add Custom Template to New Report Wizard
I have edited the StyleTemplates.xml file the way I like to set all the default colors and fonts for new reports.
I have also saved a custom Report.rdl into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject folder.
As the original poster said, this works great if you want your custom template to be used when doing "Add -> New Item" to create a new report, but it doesn't seem to work at all for the "Add New Report" option that takes you through the report wizard.
The only thing it does for the Report Wizard is show my custom StyleTemplates.xml template, but it won't include any of the actual report elements (header footer etc.)
Is there a way to get the Report Wizard to recognize custom report templates not just fonts and colors?
Thanks.
After further research, it doesn't look like there is a way to accomplish this, currently. I think the best option here would be to create a 3rd part program that will take the xml details from SSRS and modify them.

How do I set the report language in Report Builder 3.0?

I'm using Report Builder 3.0 to create some reports for an application. I'm using Report Builder because I'd like the client to be able to customize the reports as needed in the future. Now, when I edit a report in Visual Studio (that is using Business Intelligence Development Studio), I can set the properties for the report. That way I can set the language for the report which is important to ensure that all the number/date formats appear correctly, as my client is in France, and they're fussy about that sort of thing. Setting the language adds an element to the report xml as follows:
</ReportParameters>
<Language>=User!Language</Language>
<rd:ReportUnitType>Mm</rd:ReportUnitType>
<rd:ReportServerUrl>http://localhost/reportserver_sql2008r2</rd:ReportServerUrl>
<rd:ReportID>24c58c7f-2a6a-4f68-878d-d26d97bb16e8</rd:ReportID>
</Report>
How can I access the report properties, and specifically the report language in Report Builder?
Thanks,
Patrick Collins
I know this is way old, but it's a valid question. I've verified that you can do this in Report Builder 2.0 (10.0.4.4000.0) and Report Builder 3.0 (11.0.2100.60):
Go to the "View" tab of the ribbon at the top of the screen.
Check the box next to "Properties" - voila, the familiar Properties Pane appears.
Go to Localization - Language and use the dropdown to select your desired language

Is it possible to create "Empty Solution" with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

s it possible to create an "Empty Solution" with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express? It looks to me like that was possible to do so with VWD 2008 SP1 Express.
Anything to configure to get an empty solution? Or something similar, so that I can get more than one solution for a new application? I've VS2008 professional and I'd like to switch to VWD 2010 Express before I'm able to get VS2010 Professional edition.
Thanks for helping
First, identify a folder location in which you will build solutions.
Then in VWD 2010 Express, create a New Project from the File menu. Select the Windows templates under your preferred language (ie C#) and highlight Class Library. Name your Class (ie, "Domain") and below that you have options to set your base directory for the solution folder, 'Create new solution', and provide a 'Solution name' with the 'Create directory for solution'.
You can then use the File -> Add... menu option to add resources to the your solution.
I came into this problem myself
If I understand you question right this is what you want to do.
Go to File -> New Project -> (under Installed Templates) click and expand desired language (VB or C#) -> click on Web -> and to the right go down to ASP.NET Empty Web Application. That will create the necesary Properties, References, and the Web.config files.
Then just click on File -> New File... -> Click on desired language -> Click on Web -> and select what you want you include. in your case a Web Form.
That is it.
