Deserialization failed: Unable to load report designer
I am working in the environment installed in a VM (windows 2003 server) with SQL Server 2008. This morning while I was working on report through my remote connection to the VM, MS BI development studio suddenly crashed and when I opened again the report is not appearing. Instead a line of XML/HTML code is appearing in design mode as following : <html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><title></title><style>.ErrorStyle { font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11 pt; text-align: left}.DetailsStyle { font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;text-indent: 0; word-spacing: 0; line-height: 100%; float: left; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0}.StackStyle { font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left; margin-left: 20; text-indent: 0}</style></head><body><DIV class="DetailsStyle" width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td height="40" bgcolor="#FF9999" width="8%" style="letter-spacing: 0" align="center"><img border="0" src="C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp\tmp520.tmp" width="35" height="35"></td><td height="40" bgcolor="#FF9999" width="91%" style="vertical-align: top; letter-spacing: 0" align="left"><b><font size="2" face="Arial" fontsize="70%">One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below.</font><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></b></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><DIV id="div1" class="ErrorStyle" width="100%"><span style="font-weight: 600"><br>Deserialization failed: The 'DataType' attribute is not declared. Line 980, position 20. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><p></p><div a href="" id="task0" style="cursor: hand; text-decoration:underline; color=#0000FF">Edit code</a><p></p></div></span></DIV></td></tr></table></div></body></html> And there is also warning Warning 1 Deserialization failed: The 'DataType' attribute is not declared. Line 980, position 20 Please note that i was working in the designer and never even opened code for this. Can you please let me know what has happened and what could be the possible remedy and prevention? I have put a considerable effort on designing the report but in worse case scenario I will develop that report again DigitalFM
