To transfer a report created in Visual Studio Designer from one project to another, follow the steps below: Save a report to REPX. Open your project in Visual Studio and create a new report. Open the newly created report in the Visual Studio Designer, click the report smart tag and select Open/Import to load the REPX file saved in step 1. RDLC files are created by the Visual Studio 2008 version of Report Designer. RDL and RDLC formats have the same XML schema. However, in RDLC files, some values (such as query text) are allowed to be empty, which means that they are not immediately ready to be published to a Report Server. So by either manually editing the rdl file to remove the Datasources path from the node, or by clicking on the Report’s Data Sources node in the Report Data pane and re-pointing it at the local Shard Data Source (which again, is itself a pointer to the globally shared Datasources!), you can fix this issue.
