Copying an rdlc file

Question

I need to set up several .rdlc reports that are similar with just a few minor differences. I have set up the first one. Is there an easy way to copy and paste the this report as a different name so I do not have create a new report each time? I tried doing this but when I right click I do not see a PASTE option.

Thanks.

Answer 1

After you have copied the rdlc file from within the project you have to right click on the project file itself to get the paste option, once you do that it should make a 'Copy of XXXX.rdlc' in the project.

Note that copying the RDLC does not change the ReportID.
