Are SSRS Reports supported in Visual Studio 2010 or 2012?

Question

I haven\'t seen anything in the release notes, has anyone determined if there has been any improvement in this area? It\'s kind of surprising MS wouldn\'t support .res

Answer 1

I got reports and a report project (.rtproj) to work in Visual Studio 2010 with SQL Server 2008 R2! It will presumably work in any combination of VS 2010/2012 with SQL Server 2008 (R2) or SQL Server 2012.

1. Install Visual Studio 2010 PLUS SP1.
2. Install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
3. Install SQL Server 2012 with Data Tools and Reporting Services. (I used the trial version)

Now I can use Visual Studio 2010 for editing and deploying reports, even to SQL Server 2008 R2 (and likely other versions).

For older SQL Server Reporting Service versions there is still a question of whether there is anything new or unsupported in the VS10/12 report editor project.
