When I open in aspx page ... in browser, report is displayed, but when I try to redesign the report i get this screen in attachment.

How can I get to design view?

Hello,

Sorry, it seems that you're designing XtraReport1.resx instead of XtraReport1.cs. So, to view your report at design time you need to right-click on XtraReport1.cs in the Solution Explorer, and choose "View Designer" in the context menu.

Does this help?

nope ... i have only two files ... one is vb and one resx ...

file.vb I can open only in code view ... and resx I can open in designer and source view ... I deleted my report, created new one, used default settings ... but after I saved it I cannot open it, vb file has only option "Open" and it shows me someting like this

Designer code

maybe information that I am using VWD 2005 Express is helpful?

Hello,

Yes, this is the reason. The issue is that the XtraReports designer can't be opened in MS Visual Web Developer Express edition. The fact is that this IDE opens a designer and determines it by the file extension. Since a report's file is vb or cs, the IDE opens it in a text editor...

The only solution we can suggest to you is to use another IDE (for instance, "MS Visual C# Express edition") to design your reports. For example, you may use the "MS Visual C# Express edition" to design your reports, and then use the "Project->Add Existing Item..." menu item to add these reports to your Web-application.

Hope this helps.

But if that is true, how can I design report in VWD 2005 express edition end run it normally, but I cannot just open and change it after that ... Problem is that for every change, I have to make another report ...

I downloaded MS Visual C# Express edition and tried with method described and it doesn't work. I also tried to do in C# in VWD and same thing happens. With what IDE I can design reports? Except Visual Studio ...

I have found a solution :)

Well, while creating report, designer view is opened, but after that you cannot open it in any program, BUT, open that class file, copy code in clipboard, delete that class file, create new with same name and PASTE that code inside ... since with every creation, you get designer, in that way you can allways get to designer view.

For now ... it is only way ...
