When deploying SQL reports 2008 from Visual Studio it is a pain when it comes to deploying to a few different sites. I tried setting up different configurations using the Configuration Manager & that failed miserably. I have a couple of test virtual machines and a couple of customers to deploy to with patches and new reports, it seems ridiculous to have to manually set up the target server every time.
Anyway I came across this application called RSBuild, but it seems to be a bit buggy & not updated for a while. When I try to use UNC paths for the location of the rdl files it fails and if I map the UNC path to a drive I get a error stating that "the given path's format is not supported". Perhaps if I move the config and/or the rsbuild app to the unc location it may work. Is there a better way ? Surely there must be ! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Kinnear Mobile: 040 704 5686. Office: 03 9589 6502 SK Pro-Active!
