RDL build in visual studio 2015 not opening\supported in 2012

RDL build in visual studio 2015 not opening\supported in 2012. How to make compatible in old version.

Solution

  • Recent versions of SSDT have possibility to set different versions as targets (2005. 2008R2, "2016 and later" etc).

    This option is available under Project Configuration properties->General->TargetServerVersion

    Consider to update SSDT to latest version (17.4), However even older versions have a possibility to downgrade RDL by rebuilding project (right click->rebuild) and copy RDL from the output folder (bin\Debug) if target version was set to a previous release
