Dear All,

I have created one report in visual studio 2010. While running the project the system showing following error.

"The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. C:\Users\Amma\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\AMS\ReportVendor.rdlc "

I have checked for the same issue nothing was working. I tried to change the Microsoft.ReportViewer version to 10. But nothing happend.

Someone pls help me with this.

If you navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\ReportingServices and examine the file Microsoft.ReportingServices.targets what does the line that starts "UsingTask ..." say?

Yeah, I tried to change that from version 9 to 10. But that also showing another error.

"another error" ?? What is the "other error"?

Error 1 The "Microsoft.Reporting.RdlCompile" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a. Confirm that the <usingtask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Sounds like the ReportingServices isn't installed properly - check your references first to make sure you're pointing at the correct dll and if that isn't the problem try re-installing - http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=6442[^]

I already installed and restarted the visual studio. The problem still exists.

CHill60 20-May-15 8:47am

Do you have access to another machine where it is working? Sometimes the re-install does not solve the issue, but if you can copy the relevant folders from a working machine it gives it a "kick-start"

Which file or folder I need to copy from the other system?

CHill60 20-May-15 9:19am

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\ReportViewer - and check the contents of the targets file as well/again

Thanks Chill60, I installed on my second system copied that Microsoft.ReportingServices.targets. Now it's working fine.

Fantastic!

Actually, I have another system, but that doesn't have any files that related to visual studio.

How do we make this report work on older version of reporting ? You need to make 2 changes in to the RDL file to get it working.

1. Open the RDL file using notepad or other editing tools ,you will find something like below in the beginning of the code.

change the version from 2016 to 2010 .

2. Search for "ReportParametersLayout" in file and remove the whole block (This code is created on 2016 version of visual studio) .

As shown below ,remove the whole block and save the report.

Now try to upload the RDL file into the reporting service ,change the data source and run the report.

Conclusion:

change the SQL version on the RDL file and remove the ReportParametersLayout to get the report working.

Copied the Microsoft.ReportingServices.target file from the other system. Now it's working fine.

Full path: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\ReportingServices
