Create the Report Project
First,
we will launch Reporting Services' Report Designer, found in Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003.
1.
Click Start.
2.
Navigate to
the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 in the Programs group, as
appropriate. The equivalent on my PC appears as shown in Illustration 16.
3.
Select File
--> New from the main menu.
4.
Click Project
from the cascading menu, as shown in Illustration 17.
The New Project
dialog appears. We note that Business Intelligence Projects appears in
the Project Types tree, indicating an installation of Reporting
Services (the folder was added by the installation of Reporting Services,
as it established the Report Designer in Visual Studio .NET).
5.
Click Business Intelligence Projects in the Project Types list, if necessary.
6.
Click Report
Project in the Templates list.
7.
Navigate to a
location in which to place the Report Project files.
8.
Type the
following into the Name box, leaving other settings at default:
MXAS017
The New Project
dialog appears, with our addition, as shown in Illustration 18.

new project appears in the Solution Explorer (upper right corner
of the Visual Studio .NET interface), as we see in Illustration 19.
