  • A limitation of SSRS... you have to make each folder equate to a single project. You can then wrap multiple projects into a single solution but you can't make sub-folders in your project and deploy them to different SSRS folder paths.

  • Then is there an easy way to copry or migrate all file to a source control in VS TFS online?

  • I've never used TFS online. Here are the steps to do it if you used VS / TFS on-prem, maybe it is similar.

    1. Start by creating a directory to hold everything.

    2. In VS, create a new blank solution file in the root of that directory.

    3. Copy over the projects that you have into that directory (one sub-directory per project).

    3.a. Project files use relative paths to the project file. As long as you don't disturb the project sub-directories, your projects will not be effected.

    4. Open the blank solution file and add your projects to the solution.

  • Is there a book or descriptive direction or step by step information somewhere to read or follow?
