Visual Studio 2008 Report Server Project Design View not working.

Question

When I create a new Reporting Services report or try to open an existing report (that has been working) in Visual Studio 2008. I cannot view the design. I get no error message and it only shows html code in the "Design View". I've tried reinstalling VS2008 and BIDS, but hasn't worked. This was all working when I last used it 2 weeks ago.

Nate, I know this is an old post, however, I was having this same issue and resolved it by switching the rdl file to code view and finding that visual studio added an invalid attribute to one of the parameters tags (it was underlined with a blue squigely). When I deleted the parameter, everything worked properly.
