different versions of ssrs reports

    I have the following questions about a few different versions of ssrs reports:
    1. In my company, one of the report servers is version 2012. The rest of the report servers are newer.
    My question can I place newer versions of ssrs reports on a report server that runs ssrs 2012 only?
    If so, what version of visual studio can I use? Can I use Visual studio 2013 and/or a new version?
    2. Can I keep both Visusl Studio 2010 and a newer version of Visual Studio like 2013 on my workstation? If so, are there any problems that I need to
    be aware of? If not, can you tell me why I cannot keep both versions of Visual studio to write ssrs reports on my workstation?

    For question 2, there shouldn't be any problem keeping two versions of Visual Studio.  I have both 2005 and 2008 on my workstation (yeah, I know, we're supposed to be upgrading this year...) with no problems.  I often have both open at the same time without conflicts.

    To your first question, our 2005 and 2008 installs are pretty well separated procedurally, so I've never tried deploying a 2008 report to 2005.

    Thank you for your reply!  Does anyone one know the answer for versions 2010 and 2012?

    The "Target Server Version" is the project property in Visual Studio that allows the build to create the right version of the RDL for the server it's supposed to get deployed to.
