Hi,

I have designed a report in the Standalone Reportdesigner and saved them as trdx-File. Now I have the problem that I need Subreports. Subreports are not really supported by the Standalone version. To avoid the loss of work is it possible to import the trdx file in the Reportdesigner in the Visual Studio?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi,

I have found a workaround. I've just created a similar report with subreports but less fields in Visual Studio and serialized them as XML. Then I copied the needed parts of the xml-structure into the trdx file, changed some values and opened it in the Standalone Reportdesigner. The support in the IDE is not complete, but the preview works.
