I have been trying to get report in visual studio 2010 by passing parameters such as startDate, endDate and etc., but I haven't done it yet
Can someone help me to generate this report by using report viewer.
I prefer vb.net.
So, instead of making you scared, you can simply go through some tutorials and do some R & D so that you get some grasp on the topics. If it is just that you have started then go through SSRS Series Part I first. and then see the other links also

Format Date Time

Hope this helps !

I have an SSRS report that works perfectly in Visual Studio 2017.
But when I deploy it, the deployed report comes back with all the data, ignoring the filters in the WHERE clause. I know it's this because when I remove the WHERE clause from my Visual Studio report, the data matches the deployed report.
This report pings off a shared data source; the dataset is not a shared.
Even a simple WHERE tbl.flag = 'Y' does not seem to do anything to the deployed report.
Why is SSRS not recognizing the entire SQL?
Not really an expert in SSRS, I just make them based off some YT tutorials and deploy them to the link that was given to me, so any advice or links for research are appreciated.
Check the server setting in the report project properties in Visual Studio.
If they look OK then delete the server copy of the report and redeploy.
If the report does not reappear then that proves that the report is either
a. not being deployed (you should see an error in the visual studio output window), or
b. it's being deployed to where you think it should be.
From the web portal you can search for a report by name and it will search all folders on the server so if it did deploy OK, you could find it that way.
I have discovered the issues was some inline comments I had in the SQL. I had some comments above the WHERE clause using dashes, --, explaining the filter. Once I removed it, the report executed correctly.
I was also able to change the comment style to the /* <my comment> */ and it executed correctly. It seems that other style of comments with dashes made the server think everything afterwards was a comment, and therefore not executed.
I want to create a report with .rdlc, in this case i want to join some table and put the result in table on the rdlc file. I got confused, coz there is no place to put my query in the report.
Did i have to write some coding to create the report, so i can use the query?

I suggest downloading SAP Crystal Reports (http://www.crystalreports.com/). If you are using SQL Server, use Business Intelligence to create the report through the server. The report viewer currently installed with Visual Studio is not user friendly.
Is there any possibility to make a report using MS ACCESS database files? I'm using Visual Studio 2013 however no reportviewer, just saw a source to download and have a toolbox for it however seems not working to make a new report since it lacks Report Wizard and Create a Report thus available only in paid.
Any alternatives to make simple but useful way of making a report?
I am using visual studio 2008 and reporting service 2008.
I created a .rdl reports. Now I want to convert .rdl to .rdlc. How can I do it?
Good question. According to spec whey should be more or less the same, but in reality they differ wildly depending on version. For instance if I open an RDLC file I created in Visual Studio 2010 in Report Builder 3.0 it works. But if I make a change in my RDL(C) file and try to open it in VS2010 I first get asked if I want to convert it to RDLC 2008 format (yes) and then I get the error message "The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded."
There is nothing to convert. All you have to do is to rename the file to .rdlc. This converts it from a server report to a client report. The underlying schema is the same, whether it's an .rdl or .rdlc file.
Take a look at FAQ #8 here: http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
I found working with MS support that converting an RDL to RDLC merely by changing the extensions results in a ReportViewer Control HTTPHandler error which is shown with a style of "dsiplay:none". It accuses the developer of not including the HTTPHandler in the web.config, when it is actually in the web.config. Using an rdlc created by VS in that project, then the reportviewer opens just fine and properly displays. MS support and I are still researching what other changes need to be made, but as of now, I can let people know not to drink the MSDN Kool-Aid.
I also tried changing the schemas namespace in the XML file and I got the same report definition cited above.
How can I connect to a Crystal Reports 4.6 report that connects to SQL Server 2005 as a data source, using Visual Basic?
I don't want to specify the connection string in the report. I want to pass the connection from VB. Is there any way to do this?
A long time ago I worked on Crystal 4.5 (I don't remember a 4.6). The way to change the connection details is still pretty much like it is today - Find the tables collection for each report and set the location & log on information for each one. Sub reports were a pain though. You had to go through each section of the report to find out if it contained a subreport, then get its table collection.
