subhaoviya, I think the most probable cause for this is incompatibility problem of the VS 2008 with SQL Server 2012. U can not even connect to a SQL Server 2008 database. Even that requires you to have VS 2008 with a service pack. It's like trying to open an MS-Office 2007 document on a PC with MS-Office 2003. I am sure it will solve your problem if you upgrade your VS 2008 to VS 2012. Otherwise you'll need to degrade the SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2008, even after having VS 2008 with a service pack.

URL for VS 2008 SP1 (if you don't have it already): http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=10986 (.exe format)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13276 (.iso format)

Good Luck!

you can create a procedure in SQL 2012 and use it in your 2008 report though so that you dont have to use query builder from SSRS
