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. Tongue Tied

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 Big Smile

Thank you very much..

    Hi Rajeev,

    Yeah, I understand now... is very difficult to see the right way with all these new features and all the differences between the different versions of the products..

    Thanks for your courtesy

    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:

    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.
