How to create the RDL file for reports from the VS Code editor in Business Central ?

Hello Readers,

 

For creating the .rdl file for the report most of us are following different methods, but today I am going to explain how to generate the .rdl file directly from the VS Code editor application.

 

Let’s start 

First open the VS code editor

Open your extension folder and Navigate to the report file

In my project file there is no .rdl file for the opened report.

Before we generate the .rdl file, we should give the property “RDLCLayout” in the report.

So let’s mention the property and give the file path where it should create the .rdl file in the property.

After giving the property, click on the Ctrl + Shift + B

.rdl file is generated for the report

Now you can open the rdl file and you can start the designing the report.

Thanks
