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.

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.
I have recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio 2012, however I cannot seem to see how to execute SQL scripts (created by Entity framework) on a SQL Server CE 4.0 database. With VS2010 + SSMS 2008 the Transact-SQL editor would ask for a connection and you could browse to the object, however this option is not available in SSMS 2012.
I have tried to execute the script via the Server Explorer -> New Query window, but I get parse errors. Any clues?
Microsoft got rid of that for SSMS 2012, and suggested to use the integrated tools in WebMatrix instead (from memory, can't find a link for that sorry).
As suggested in that Microsoft Answers post, however, you could use the SQL Server Compact Toolbox, it's pretty effective.
Try using the SQL Server Object Explorer instead of the Server Explorer. That should allow you to do what you wish.
I have started working on SSRS and I have installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and already installed Visual Studio 2010. When i am opening VS2010 in that case i didn't seen Business intelligence Projects -> Report Server Project but whenever i am opening SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio under Microsoft SQL Server 2008 it shows in the new project wizard. My current project is in 4.0 and i have worked on that project using VS2010. How can Report Server Project show in VS2010?
SQL Server 2008 only uses a VS2008 shell. As Pratik says, you do need to use the SQL Server Setup and install the Business Intelligence Development Studio feature to install the VS2008 shell. You will not be able to use VS2010 to create your report server project until you upgrade to SQL Server 2012.
Gaurav you need to install the business intelligence development studio also to see the Report server project templates.

I have an old Report Server Project created in Visual Studio 2005. The reports are deployed to an SSRS 2005 Server.
When I open this project in Visual Studio 2008 it converts the project file and then when I try and deploy any of the reports (from Visual Studio 2008) I encounter this error:
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.
Is there anyway I can edit and deploy my report files in Visual Studio 2008 without upgrading them. This would save me having to install Visual Studio 2005 on my new laptop.
As far as I know there is no way of editing SQL 2005 Report files with VS 2008. That's why we still have VS 2005 installed here.
