SQL Server Reports project location\extension

  • I have inherited a SQL Server which has around 20 handwritten reports in Visual Studio, but I can't find the project/solution for these reports on the server... what should I be looking for?

    Thanks

  • The Reporting Services project file is a .rptproj extension. If for some reason you can't find this project file, you can always create a new Report Server Project, then add the reports to the project.

    To do so, create the project, right-click on the Report folder, click Add -> Existing Item... Select the reports and click Ok.

    Hope this helps!

  • If you're looking for the porject/solution files on the report server, you won't find them there unless the developer built them there. Only the RDL files (and data sources) are deployed to the server.

  • Use Jaspers tool to reverse engineer the reports and have it create the solution file for you...
