    Visual Studio Report Toolbox, full of rich controls

    This toolbox, customized for each unique report type, consists of flexible report controls. You can add controls to your report design surface using drag-and-drop or by double-clicking.


    Then, use the built-in Properties panel to customize the control and bind it to data fields. A rich Properties window is also included, containing a wide range of properties for each element in the report.


    The default Visual Studio theme extends the Toolbox with its associated windows.

    Report Explorer

    The Report Explorer provides a visual overview of report elements in a tree view, where each node represents a report element. Because section reports, RDL reports, and page reports consist of different report elements, the Report Explorer displays different elements in the report tree depending on the type of report you open.

    Report layout

    • Section Report Layout

      By default, reports are displayed in three sections: page header, details, and page footer. You can clear the page header and footer and add a report header and footer. You can add up to 32 group headers and footers. To display report data, drag controls to the sections. Reports designed with a section layout are saved in RPX format.

    • Page Report Layout

      You can design advanced reports using the same page layout throughout the report or using separate layout pages. Reports designed with these layouts are saved in RDLX format.

    • RDL report layout

      The RDL layout defines a data-centric report with flexible layout. This layout expands as you continue to add data and tools to the report. Visual Studio reports designed with the RDL layout are also saved in the RDLX format.
