How can I reverse engineer my old .rdlc reports in VS 2012 Express?
I have a lot of reports that I developed in VS 2010 Pro, now I have VS 2012 Express when I open a report that only opens as an XML file . I have looked for solutions for centuries without any success.
- How can I view the designer (I tried to install Sql Server 2008 Express / w Advance Services)?
- Are there external designers who can see custom data types? (I tried fyiReporting)
- If both of the above are not possible, that is, anywhere, can I find out how to edit the file manually?
Many thanks.

If your reports were developed in VS 2010, that means they are in SQL Server 2012 format. I would try SQL Server 2012 Express. It includes a report builder via the Express Edition of the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
The RDL specification is also available on MSDN if you prefer.
