Once I opened the project directly, the reports were opening with the report editor, not the xml editor.

Infact by default when you click on open also it should open in design mode, but from your post I understand its not doing so. Try clicking on View Designer. Daniel Bowlin.
This can also happen if you are opening the file with a non SSRS project. It will also happen if you try to open something developed in R2 with and vice versa. Different namespace. SQL Rob.
Good Thread, thanks for the ideas so far. In my case I was unable to open an rdl on a client site that had both and R2 installed. The solution that worked for me was first open BIDS the product the report was developed in , create reporting services project and add the current report. I just had a very simliar problem. It was on a report I'd developed myself and was occuring in the project in which I'd developed it.
Clicking View Designer made no difference, neither did excluding it from the project and then re-adding it. I started whimpering quietly to myself at this point as visions of the dole queue swam across my minds eye. Then I saw the warning message "Data Type Attribute not declared". Hope blossomed as I selecetd View Code from the context menu and two more similarly worded warnings appeared.
Closed the designer window which was still showing xml and re-opened it to be presented with the glorious spectacle of my neatly laid out report, once more restored in all its tablixy splendour. I have visual Studio and and I m having the same problem trying to open my reports in report designer too.
I am opening from file- open - existing project -- didn't work. I also did add existing project and did not work either. Any idea? Try to start clean,in these cases. From here navigate to the directory that has the Windows. If this is a newer version of SSRS than what the report was built with it , the dev environment will try to convert the report to the version of SSRS you have.
If you are opening the report with an earlier version of SSRS, you are probably out of luck and should rebuild it new.
I found that there was some extensions issues, overthought I have the latest Enterprise edition, It could not work right because of some weird extension configuration error base on I don't know. Then I repaired my latest version. You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Login to reply. Need Report Layout view. Post reply.

Tracey , go to the development tool , open any project Add the report by right clicking the reports Go for existing report and give the path where the report you want to open exists, Don't try to open the rdl file directly.
Now you can see the report Thank you Raj Deep. April 5, at am
