'Design a new report' in Report Viewer control

[billybobcat]

Clicking the 'Design a new report' in Report Viewer control has no response. I can click 'Dock in parent container', it responded by docking but when I click 'Design a new report', there is no response. It looks like I did not do something with the Report Viewer control, what did I miss out?

Here are my steps:
- Open Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition
- The Report Viewer control is not found in Toolbox
- Add the Report Viewer control to the Toolbox
- Note here I check both Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms and Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms but I get only one Report Viewer control in the tool box
- Once the Report Viewer control is added in Toolbox, I drag the Report Viewer control to the Form
- I also create a DataSet in the Form, I drag the Vendors table to the DataSet
- Now when I click the Report Viewer tasks, Design a new report, there is no response




According to the tutorial, that should open the report designer but in my case, there is no response.

What do I need to do to be able to open the report designer when I click 'Design a new report'??

You only get one control in the Toolbox because you can only be working on either a Windows app or a Web app at any one time, so you can only use one control at any one time.

Have you installed SQL Server Reporting Services?

I see. Thanks.

Have you installed SQL Server Reporting Services?

Yes, I believe so.

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2...-features.aspx

The Report server is available for SQL Server Express in the SQL Server Express with Advanced Services download.


I have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express version 9.00.3042.00

This is the SQL Server Express with Advanced Services download:

SQL Server Express with Advanced Services has all of the features in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, plus you can:
- Run SQL Server Reporting Services reports on local relational data.

I am using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. I could add the Report Viewer control into the form.

But why do you think I cannot 'Design a new report'?
