VS Version 17.11.5 - SSRS report RDLs open BLANK

Question

Hello,

Version 17.11.5 - SSRS report RDLs open BLANK

I have submitted this from VS but have not received any help. It gets set to Triaged or marked as a duplicate and I have not heard back. I am a tad surprised this is not a widespread issue because there are a lot of SSRS developers. Can someone let me know if this is being worked on and if it can be reproduced by Microsoft? We have several SSRS reporting projects that are stuck in VS2017 because of this issue.

One other note, once it started working for a bit and I reported it was corrected but it stopped working right after I sent the message.

Thanks!

Linda

Hi @Linda,

Thank you for your reaching out and welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Do you mean the Design view is blank, but you can see the table borders? You could try to update your VS and the Reporting Services extension to the latest versions.

Refer to https://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/topic/the-possible-reason-why-report-designer-view-is-all-blank.

Or do you mean parameters hold a blank space in the deployed RDL? Please refer to the known issue.

If you have any more issues or need further assistance, feel free to share with us!

Best regards,

Lucy Chen
