Best practice converting RDL to RDLC

I'm looking to move from RDL to RDLC files, for my reports.

The reasons are:

My ideal situation would be the following: Create the report as a RDL file, so it can easily be edited. Deploy it as a RDLC to the webapp.

Have a module extract the querys and parameters stored in the RDLC and created and pass the datasets to the reportviewer.

In this scenario its easy to maintain. Any idea if such is available, or directions to create it?

Microsoft provides documents about Converting RDL to RDLC files

You can find the document in MSDN: Converting RDL and RDLC Files
If you need the docs for another Visual-Studio Version, there's a version selector on the page.

It seems apparent that there is no viable solution for your scenario.

I suggest you reconsider your original reasons:

  • Performance - I'm not aware of any significant performance difference. In fact an SSRS server will usually out-perform an RDLC solution overall due to scalability and caching features
  • Firewall issues - SSRS server is not restricted to port 80, ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159261.aspx
