I'm creating RDLC reports in VS10. When the program is NOT running, I can see the toolbox, and add controls to the report, but the "Report Data" pane is nowhere to be found, so I can't fill the controls on my report. However, if I run the solution, the "Report Data" pane appears, and I can drag fields on to my report, however the Toolbox contains no controls while I'm running. So, I've had to put the controls on to my report while not running, run the project and while it's running I can put the fields in....
anyways, how do I get the Report Data pane to stay visible while the project is not running?
The most common answer to this problem is to go to the Data menu and choose Show Data Sources. This option does not appear for me.
The Show Report Data Pane keyboard shortcut did work for me:
CTRL+ALT+D. There is nothing in the menus that I could find that does this same thing.
