How to upgrade VS2008 reporting Schema from 2005 to 2008

Question

As you all know Visual Studio using 2005 schema to create RDLC reports.

SSRS 2008 use 2008 schema to create RDL reports.

So I'm looking for a solution to change VS 2005 schema to 2008 schema. How to do this.

will this issue fix with installing Report Viewer 2010 or not ?

Answer 1

You should be able to install Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from the SSRS2008 install, and then just open the old reports in it, they get automatically updated to the new schema. But this will also mean that your report will no longer run on SSRS2005.
