Can sql server reporting service report 2005 rdl be displayed in sql server
report service 2008 without doing any conversions? If so, are there things I
should be aware of that might cause a problem? If not, can you point me to a
URL that will show me how to convert sql server 2005 reports to sql server
2008 reports (rdls)?

Thanks!

When you update a RS 2005 server to RS 2008 server officially you don't have
to do anything. The old RDL continue to work. However, I think it is safer
to convert and redeploy. To convert you open the report up in the RS 2008
report designer. By this I mean actually pull it up into the design surface.
Then save and redeploy. What I did was copy my project and then converted
the project to a RS 2008 project and then open and save every report. I am
not aware of any other way to convert them.

Again, RS 2005 reports should work unmodified but I think it is safer to
convert and redeploy.
