Microsoft Report Designer : Do you want to convert this report to RDLC 2008 format? Please click OK to proceed or Cancel to open it in the XML editor.

Hi All,

I have faced a strange issue while opening the Microsoft Standard report design.
Below are the error details and its resolution.

Issue :
 1)While editing the report design in visual studio I got the below message

2 ) I clicked on OK and got a error message displaying " one or more errors encountered while loading the designer.The errors are listed below."

The report definition has an invalid target namespace
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded."

 


Resolution:

1) Click on Edit code.



2) Remove the Report section tags (both open and close).
 

 3) Edit the report namespace haeder.



4) Replace with below tag:

<Report xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition">

5) save the XML and report.

Now you should able to edit the report design.



Have a great day..:)

Happy Daxing..!!!
