hi everyone, this is a documented feature, but in case someone missed it...
when you are previewing a report, press ctrl+alt+f1 (or the top right button, and then "about this report...")to see the dataset being passed to the rdlc for rendering.
Actually, this is the "only" debugger we have when doing rdlc.
NOTE: You have to activate the feature the first time you run the report and then ReRun the report to see the dataset.

The same shortcut applies to pages to have something similar to the old "zoom".
NOTE: in order to see the zoom of the subpages, you have to use the shortcut, but you can't use the top right button, because it will show the zoom of the "header" page. (clicking changes the focus)

Enjoy!

    UPDATE:
    1. With some pcs, ctrl+alt+f1 shortcut doesn't work; to solve it, press ctrl+windowsbutton+alt+f1 instead (thanks to engsiong75)
    2. The About this page feature does not work if the underlying table has a not enabled field :thumbsdown:
