Solution

  • The name of the object can be viewed and edited in the Properties window. Right-click on an object and select Properties to see this popup.

    When you select an object, its name is also displayed at the top of the properties section. You can also use this dropdown to select any object in the report.

    Note that you should be using the "SQL Server Data Tools" module in Visual Studio to see these properties. If you don't see the properties section, you can enable it from the View menu by selecting Properties Window.
