How to use SSRS with sql server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2012 installed system.
SQL Server 2008 R2 BIDS integrates only with VS 2008. As detailed here on MSDN:
"Business Intelligence Development Studio is Microsoft Visual
Studio 2008 with additional project types that are specific to SQL
Server business intelligence."
If you already have VS 2012 installed, then BIDS for 2008 R2 (VS 2008 Shell) can install side-by-side with VS 2012.

Hi there is a way to create DTSX packages for SSIS in SQL Server 2008 R2 using Visual Studio 2017?
Many Thanks
I am facing issues while installing 'Sql Server 2008 R2 developer' edition. My OS is windows 8. I am getting the error
"This program has compatability issues. Microsoft Sql Server 2008 and 2008 R2". I went through the solutions online for this issue.I installed 'VS 2010'. I enabled 'dotnet framework 3.5' which is under 'Turn windows features on or off' in programs menu of control panel. I installed 'Sql Server 2008 SP3' before installing 'Sql Server 2008 R2'. But same issue arised. Then I uninstalled 'Sql Server 2008 SP3' and installed 'Sql Server 2008 R2 SP2' before installing 'Sql Server 2008 R2'. But there is no use. My windows updates are up to date. I am strggling with this issue for 3 days. I need your suggestions.
Wonder if SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition can be used with C# Express 2010? I'm getting the error below when trying to add 'Service-based Database' item to my projects.
Please note, I've only got SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
Update 1 - I checked the service (MSSQLSERVER) and it's up and running, I've got no errors during SQL Server 2008 R2 installation either, the PC didn't have any previous versions of SQL Server installed.
The actual error:
Connections to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server
2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on
the local computer. The current version of SQL Server Express can be
downloaded at the following URL:

Thanks.
As the message says, Visual C# Express 2010 does not support connections to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (which is not an upgrade to SQL Server 2008 Express). You could give Visual Studio 2012 a try.
EDIT: It seems like my above statement is not correct. I've tested it and I got SQL Server 2008 R2 Express working with Visual Studio 2010 Premium. So I guess it should also work in Visual C# Express 2010.
In order for it to work I had to change 'SQL Server Instance Name' found in the options under 'Database Tools' --> 'Data Connections'. The default value is SQLEXPRESS but I changed my instance name to SQLEXPRESS2008R2 during installation.
I want to design a report with new SSRS feature called tablix, but it seems I've previous version of SSRS installed because instead of tablices there are matrices, tables and lists.
Where can I get a newer version of SSRS? (I've already googled all over the web but have found nothing)

The answer was quite simple: I needed to install new version of ReportViewer.dll. After that everything worked perfectly.
I have a number of dtsx projects created under Visual Studio 2005.
When I try to convert the solution to 2008 it converts fine but then the .dtproj file can't be loaded:
myProj.dtproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.dtproj) is not supported by this version of the application.
I have SQL Server 2005 installed but I got rid of Visual Studio 2005 as I am moving all my projects to Visual Studio 2008.
Reinstall the shell for BIDS. You can't use VS 2008 with SQL Server 2005 dtsx.
