strange thing.. no preview,data and layout pane in report.rdlc
Hi,
I'm using VS 2005 beta2 and sqlserver express april CPT. When I open a new rdlc file, I can see the report designer working well but no panes.
So I can't preview the data... any ideas? I'm working in webforms.. I wish to view the report with a hyperlink on an aspx page.. how can do that?
Thank you very much..

There are two flavors of Report Designer. The first is designed to work in C# and VB projects and also web. It creates .rdlc files. For data you use standard Visual Studio wizards such as DataTable Configuration Wizard. To preview, embed the ReportViewer control in your application, point it to the report and run your app.
Here's a walkthrough:http://whidbey.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rs_vsrpts/html/ab6d924d-1319-42b9-8e48-c1e682e91f87.asp
The other flavor of Report Designer ships with SQL Server. It supports Report Projects. It creates .rdl files designed to be deployed to a Report Server. It has the Data and Preview tabs that you are referring to.
