Report Viewer Control - Report not showing edits?

[HeroTheCat]

I have a WinForm application with several report viewer controls and some do not experience this problem, but it has happened before.

I create my reports as RDL files in a 2nd solution and then copy/rename to an RDLC in the project resources directory.
I then add it as a resource for my application.
The application runs, and the report is fine.

Now I edit the RDL file in the 2nd solution to add parameters or grouping.
I remove the reference to the original RDLC and delete the file.
I again copy/rename the RDL to the 1st solution's directory as an RDLC.
I re-add the referrence to the RDLC file.
When I run (Debug or Release) the application, the report does NOT show my changes.

I've done a CLEAN, a REBUILD, deleted all files in the bin/Release and Debug folders.

I just don't understand why the reports are not showing my changes.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

I found that my ASSUMPTIONS were wrong... LOL


I create a SQL Dataset/Command and ASSUMED that the parameters for that command are "linked" to the report when the Dataset is linked. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

I therefore had to apply the parameters to the report manually as in ....

    Private Sub renderReport(ByVal conn As SqlConnection, ByVal command As SqlCommand, ByVal reportName As String, ByVal reportViewer As ReportViewer)

        Dim reportDataSet As New DataSet
        Dim reportDataAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter

        Try
            ' create a parameter array to hold the report parameters
            Dim parameters(command.Parameters.Count - 1) As ReportParameter

            ' apply the command to the dataset
            reportDataAdapter.SelectCommand = command

            ' open the connection
            conn.Open()

            ' fill the dataset
            reportDataAdapter.Fill(reportDataSet, "payerMixCharges")

            ' close the connection
            conn.Close()

            ' create the datasource
            Dim rDS As New ReportDataSource("payerMixCharges", reportDataSet.Tables(0))

            lastExecutionPoint = 2900

            ' build the parameter collection
            For i = 0 To command.Parameters.Count - 1
                parameters(i) = New ReportParameter(Replace(command.Parameters(i).ParameterName, "@", ""), command.Parameters(i).Value.ToString)
            Next

            With reportViewer
                .Reset()
                .LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
                .ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local
                .LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = reportName
                .LocalReport.DataSources.Add(rDS)

                ' APPLY THE COMMAND PARAMS TO THE REPORT
                .LocalReport.SetParameters(parameters)
                .RefreshReport()
                .Refresh()
            End With

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.InnerException.ToString, MsgBoxStyle.Critical, ex.Message)
        Finally
            reportDataSet = Nothing
            reportDataAdapter = Nothing
        End Try

    End Sub
