Possible Duplicate:
Visual Studio 2005 doesn't support Sql Server 2008

I’ve got an issue with my Visual Studio Reporting Service where sometimes when I open reports, which are working in Reporting Services, for editing and I get an error which says:

“The server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL server 2005 Beta 2 or later”

This started to occur when we started using a new SQL Server 2008.
Anyway what I’m asking is – is it possible to upgrade to a new Visual Studio while keeping all reports intact, updated and editable?

Also isn’t SQL Server 2008 able to work with Visual Studio 2005?

    I guess you cannot work with SQL Server 2008 RS from Visual Studio 2005. You need to install Visual Studio 2008 instead. I strongly recommend don’t stuck with so old software.

    Also Microsoft usually brings backward compatibility: you can work with SQL Server 2005 from Visual Studio 2008 but not vise versa.

    And yes, you can upgrade SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2008 keeping all the data. But backup it first anyway .
