Where can I find the xml schema (xsd) that targets the Visual Studio Report Designer namespace

Question

The reason why I would need this is to create .rdlc files programmatically that could then be opened in Visual Studio Report Designer. I know the report definition xsd is readily available, but require the report designer xsd (denoted by the "rd" prefix, below)

This is from the root node of .rdlc files generated by Visual Studio Report Designer

 <Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">

In other words, I need an XSD that starts with

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" ... />

Does anyone know where to find such an XSD?

Answer 1

I entered this URL in the address bar of the browser: http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition

And it loaded a page with a link to the XSD

Clicked on the link and it opened the XSD file.
