I just started working with other developers. When they send .rdl files back to me and i try to open the file through visual studio 2005, it shows some raw html rather than the design view. The html says:
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. The Report element was not found.
How can i fix this?
For anyone who has the same problem, I figured it out:
The developers modified and saved using 'Report Builder'(v. 3.0). Report Builder 3.0 is designed to support SSRS 2008 R2 only and supports a new version of the RDL schema, which is not compatible with SSRS 2005. So, i had to use SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services instead.
