SSRS Uploaded report only shows xml when viewed

I have uploaded a report (rdlc) and I can view it when I navigate to report manager url, but when I click on the report, all I get is the xml and no report view.

I am using SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.

rdlc files are client-side reports and are deployed with an application and processed by the application.

Report Server server-side reports, i.e. rdl files, are processed on an SSRS Report Server.

These are totally different file types - the Report Server (exposed through the Report Manager website) expects an rdl file, not rdlc, which is why it's just displaying the rdlc definition only and not an actual report.

You need to develop a server-side report (i.e. rdl) and deploy this if you want to view it through a Report Server.

See Creating Client Report Definition (.rdlc) Files and Reporting Services Reports (SSRS) - those links might help explain the difference in more detail.
