As far as I know, there is not really anything available. You would
need to investigate into using a custom .NET application to read in
the word document (most likely using System.IO and Streamreader) and
then output the file in the RDL format (using Streamwriter, XMLDoc,
etc). Hope this helps.

a report. I do this now. In the designer just do a right mouse click on
reports, add and existing item, then select your word document. Deploy like
a normal report. The only caveat is when you redeploy first go into report
manager and delete it and then deploy. I have found a redeploy does not
stick.

Converting Visual FoxPro reports to RDL

I need to convert Microsoft Visual FoxPro reports (FRX files) to RDL format.
FoxPro report has groups.
I think I must create nested List elements to simulate grouping and add
report fields to those list elements.
I have analyzed some possibilities:
1. Generate RDL XML from VFP FRX file using XmlDocument or XML stream.
2. Using dynamic RDL generation class from http://www.gotreportviewer.com
3. Transform XML report defintion generated by FoxPro XMLListener
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms994713(VS.80).aspx) to RDL
4. Use intermediate format like described in
http://www.vfpconversion.com/Blog.aspx?blogid=1b208937-2232-4b48-9a12-8c89f98ce08f&blog=us:Mike&messageid=b842330d-c2e2-4b5e-9d04-3415c8c0a4ad
Any idea or sample of FRX to RDL conversion ?
Andrus.Hi Andrus,
I see there is a VFP to RDL conversion tool at

Converting RDL to RDLC

Is there a tool to convert existing RDL files to RDLC.If the RDL file is from 2000 then you need to open and convert it to RS 2005
RDL format. Then rename the file from RDL to RDLC. As a matter of fact, that
is how I design my rdlc reports since the development environment for
reports is so much better with the report designer versus using what you can
do with VS 2005.
