Credentials

When running reports inside the Visual Studio IDE the datasources lose the
credentials that were previously set up.
I use the 'Use a specific user name and password'.
Any ideas?Try setting the credentials in the advanced datasource options, and
then using the "Test Connection" button on the lower left. If the
credentials aren't correct, the connection will fail, and the report
manager will not keep them in the connection string. Of course, I may
have misinterpreted your problem, in which case sorry! Hope this helps.

Are you saying that the credentials aren't in Report Manager when you
deploy, or are you saying that the credentials disappear while you are
designing the report in VS?

Scenerio:
I create a report. Deploy the report. All works fine. I come back a few
days later to make a change and the credentials are gone. I simply have to
add username/password back. Then all works fine again. It seems like a
random problem.
There are 3 of us using the VS solution. Could that be causing problems?
Thanks.

Creating report folder hierarchy in VS.NET

Is it possible to create (or duplicate) the report server Report Manager
folder hierarchy in the VS.NET development IDE? There does not appear to be
an option to add a Folder to the Solution Explorer tree, and if I drag a
folder from the file system into the tree I receive an Access Denied message
when I try to open it.
I would like to be able to create a deployment hierarchy, because now all
reports deploy to the project root on the Report Server, and I have to move
them to the correct folder.
Thanks,
TimFolders are not supported in Report Designer.
It is in our wish list for future version.

solution and enter a different deployment folder for each of the projects.
