SSRS shows wrong form


I am learning SSRS from a book. The book tells me to modify a simple existing report as follows -

  1. Create a new Form (windows forms) and use the RDLC file of the original report.
  2. Use the report wizard to select data source and eventually create your report.

When I try to run the modified report, visual studio shows me the old one instead. How do I fix this ?

The modified report -

When I rebuild the solution and debug it and try to run modified report, it shows me the old report instead.

Solution

  • Please see the edited question which has the project structure. I tried a workaround that works -

    This happens because of start item setting in visual studio. To change this -

    solution explorer > right click your vb (winforms) project > properties 
    > application side-tab > Startup form: Form2 (ie the form that points to 
    modified report)
    

    Rebuild the project and you will get the modified form/report instead of the original one. The problem with this approach is that you will have to change this all the time when you add a new form or report to your project.

    Can someone help me to fix this issue ?
