RDLC file opens as text only not in the designer


I have an RDLC file that opens as text only (xml) not in the designer, how can I force it back to default to open with the designer. (I need to go back and forth).

I swear I saw this on Stack already, but for the google of me I can't find it.


Solution

  • I just had this issue...

    I resolved by adding a new Report to the project, which opened in the designer.

    After the designer opened correctly, the existing reports also opened in the designer as not as XML.
