Can I control the version of new SSDT reports in Visual Studio?

Question

I am using the Visual Studio SSDT BI add-on to create reports for SQL Server Reporting Services. The project I\'ve created is configured to target SQL Server versions 2008/2

Answer 1

Had the same issue using SSDT version 14.0.60305.0.

1) I was able to change the xmls namespace attribute in the tag of each of my reports to match the target environment. Reference https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc627465.aspx on how to determine the RDL Schema version of the target server.

2) I changed the TargetServerVersion in the project properties pages to "SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012, or 2014". Reference http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/tim/issue-publishing-to-ssrs-2012-with-ssdt-2015/ to see how to open the project properties page.
