| I would like to know if there is a way to compare rdl files with each to see where a difference may lie. Basically I have the orginal SSRS 2008 r2 report and know it has been drastically modfied based upon new requirements. I would like to be able to compare the original SSRS 2008 r2 rdl (file) with the new SSRS 2008 r2 rdl (file). I want do accomplish this task for code inspections. I want a group of my co-workers to look at the compares to see if there 'better' ways to change the SSRS 2008 r2 reports based upon user requirements. |

| It is a "common perception" that diff-tools doesn't work with SSRS in terms of automatically merging changes and such but if it's only for manual comparison it might work. Notepad++ also has a comparison tool.- LumbagoMy blog-> http://thefirstsql.com/2011/02/07/regular-expressions-advanced-string-matching-and-new-split-function-sql-server-2008-r2/ |
