I am trying to display an already existing .rdl report in report viewer. Is this possible, or does the report have to be created in Report Viewer?
You can use a report viewer control and set it to use a Server Report.

Yes, you definitely can pull up an existing report.

I am converting a application where we used a local server with SSRS for reports. Corporate has now decided that instead we will use a corporate server and Tableau and ditch SSRS. I now have 20 reports that only need to be produced locally. I have decided to produced them as RDLC reports and display\print them with Report viewer. At this point the only way I know to do this is with 20 RDLC's and 20 Report viewers Forms. I am wondering if it is possible to have one "Report viewer form" that I can pass the RDLC I want to show. It just seems like a cleaner solution.
I have been having some issues previewing data in SSRS lately. I confirm that the datasources connections and datasets are fully correct. In my first example, when I preview the report, I cannot see the row containing the Total for each school. It does not display the label neither in the preview mode.
However, for the same report, when I preview it and try to export to Excel, bingo! the label and the total appears.
I thought it was maybe a bug on SSRS (within Visual Studio), so I downloaded Report Builder instead which was working fine till this morning.
Again, when I tried to preview the report, it is now returning me blank rows (although if I export to Excel, all the data is here). The same thing is happening in Report Builder, and I am stuck.
I wonder if anyone else has encountered similar issues, and if so, please let me know any workaround.
I am running Windows 10 Home Edition, and Visual Studio 2019, with the latest version of SSRS and Report Builder.
We have some reports created in SSRS 2005, which uses Bonavista Microcharts plugin to show microcharts.
We would like to upgrade the reports to SSRS 2012 now, but I couldnot add the XLCubed dll to SSRS report toolbox(which worked perfect in SSRS 2008). It is throwing an error saying "There are no components in this dll that can be placed on toolbox".
I can't even go back to Sparkline in SSRS 2012, because that would require a complete restructure of Dataset. The dataset is designed for Bonavista plugin, the microchart data is combined with a pipe (eg, 500|200|300 etc).
Any change in DS means we will have to make changes in around 300 reports, do we have any 3rd party microchart tool available for SSRS 2012, that is similar to XLCubed microcharts/Bonavista microcharts?
You should take a look at: Nevron Chart for SSRS

SQL Server Reporting services capable of exporting report as TIFF.
This is excellent since I want to use report inside my Silverlight application and already have infrastracture for viewing TIFF.
Question is how to GET tiff directly from report server without running report on webpage first?
You can use the SSRS Web Service and call the Render method. This method will give you a specified report as a Stream, which can then be shown in your infrastructure to view TIFF's.
I am developing a WPF application in VB. Net and I'm using SQL Server Reporting to create my reports.
I have a report that contains the specifications for a machine and I would add the PDF file that contains additional information to report and then print it.
Is it possible to dynamically add PDF files in a RDLC report?
Or is there a way to solve this problem
Thank you
i dont think that reports server has any inbuilt support for pdf's. You might be able to buy one, but i think i would save the pdf's as jpegs and just put those in the report instead
