SSRS shows wrong form

  • I am learning SSRS from a book. The book tells me to modify a simple existing report as follows -

    > Create a new Form (windows forms) and use the RDLC file of the original report.

    > Use the report wizard to select data source and eventually create your report.

    When I try to run the modified report, visual studio shows me the old one instead. How do I fix this ?

    old report -

    The modified report -

    When I rebuild the solution and debug it and try to run modified report, it shows me the old report instead.

  • Do you have start item set on your project as a Old report ? That could be the reason...

  • Got it to work, but using a slightly different solution. Now I need to figure out how to make it show the form that is opened.

    Info on start item -

  • This happens because of start item setting in visual studio. To change this -

    solution explorer > right click your vb (winforms) project > properties

    > application side-tab > Startup form: Form2 (ie the form that points to

    modified report)

    Rebuild the project and you will get the modified form/report instead of the original one. The problem with this approach is that you will have to change this all the time when you add a new form or report to your project.

    Can someone help me to fix this issue ?
