I am upgrading my company to NAV 2009 and we will be moving to the RTC. I know for report I need Visual Studio. I have installed VS 2010 but when I select View/Layout I get a message that I'm not using a supported version of Visual Studio. Is there an update to the NAV client that I can get to have it work with VS 2010 or do I need to install 2008?

Thanks.

    I saw that post, but it says to use 2008. So should I go back to 2008 or is there something I can do to keep 2010?

    By the way, I installed VS 2010 Ultimate.

    You can install multiple versions of Visual Studio. Navision should find the one it likes best.

    You will unfortunately not be able to use VS 2010 for designing RDLC reports in NAV 2009. I'm currently preparing a blog about this to go out on our main NAV blog http://blogs.msdn.com/nav.

    Thanks Claus, I'll look for that post. Will I ever be able to use 2010 with NAV 2009 or will it only be for future versions of NAV? I will be installing 2008 and just want to know if it is worth keeping 2010.

    Thanks.

    As it looks right now, unfortunately no. The RDLC is converted when opened in VS 2010 so you will run to problems if you have developers on both 2010 and 2008.
    When I have the full picture of what we can and cannot do about this, I will post the blog.
