It's easy to miss that you've opened a read-only file in Visual Studio: When you open a file you can't change, a tiny little lock icon appears on the tab of the editor window to the right of the file's name. By default, Visual Studio won't even tell you that you can't change the file until - after you've made all your changes, of course - you. Upload the rdl file using the Upload Files link on the toolbar and navigate to the rdl file in your system. After upload, click on the Detail View link on the toolbar and edit the report selecting Manage link. By default, the Location text box displays the path to your 'Documents Visual Studio 20xx Projects' folder. Report Designer creates a folder named Tutorial below this path, and creates the Tutorial project in this folder. If the project doesn't belong to a VS solution, then VS also creates a solution file (.sln). Select OK to create the project.
