I am now working on Sql Server Management Studio and Visual Studio C#. I created an Stored Procedure to retrieve data from tables in database. Using the result dataset , I created a rdlc report using visual studio report designer.

I will install this software(software i am developing) in different systems in different locations. The problem is, the users may want to change the design(only the design, not dataset) of the reports and I can't install visual studio on all those systems. So, I would like to know is there any tool that can be used to change only the design of the rldc report, which is less in size, easy to install (comparing to visual studio)

  • So, you cannot install visual studio, but what about other software? Maybe [the report builder](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/install-report-builder?view=sql-server-2017#download) will do – Peter Bons Nov 06 '18 at 07:11
  • I tried report builder, but I can't open rdlc file, it only support rdl file? Is there any way to open rdlc file in report builder ? @PeterBons – A.Zain Nov 06 '18 at 13:27
  • "I can't install visual studio on all those systems" - Remember that it will install VS Community Edition, which is free. – ian_scho Jan 21 '19 at 08:47
