SSRS Options

Use this form to specify the Visual Studio Version and Solution information.

 

Visual Studio

Version

Select the version of Visual Studio to use for Report Projects.

When 2003 is selected:

  1. All other fields are disabled

  2. No Report Solution or Project is created.

  3. SSRS Report Definition Layout files are written to the VS Solution folder.

 

When 2005 is selected:

If the VS version for creating VB projects is also 2005, by default a new Project is created in the same VS Solution as the VB project. A new Solution folder can also be specified if you want to separate the Report and VB Projects.

 

If the VS version for creating VB projects is 2003, a separate Solution is created to contain the SSRS project.

 

SSRS Project

Folder

 

The default is set to the IIS Root Folder, but any folder may be selected. The VS Solution (.sln) and Report project will be created under this directory if it does not already exist. Report Definition Layout files (rdl) are saved in the Solution folder.

 

Pressing the button will display an Open Folder dialog box. You can choose an existing folder or create new ones.

 

Solution Name

 

The name of the Solution to contain the Report project.

 

Project Name

 

The name of the Report project must be different than the VB Project Name if combining both in a single VS Solution.
