The New Project dialog box opens. Select Report Server Project under Installed Templates ➤
Business Intelligence ➤ Reporting Services. If this is the first project that you have created, the project
name defaults to Report Project1. The location of the project can be a local drive or a network location.
In this case, make it C:\Pro_SSRS\Reports.
By default, the solution is named according to the project name, Report Project1, as shown in Figure
3-2. If you check the Create Directory for Solution box, you can append a new directory to the base
location. In this case, choose Solution1. After you click OK, both the project and solution are created,
and you can create report items and data sources within the project.
