Problem / Solution
Now that SQL 2014 is readily available, report designers will begin to develop new reports using SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013 to build, test and deploy SSRS reports. Unfortunately, "out of the box" many report designers and developers are running into an error when attempting to preview reports in SSDT-BI. This issue is caused by the Net.Pipe Listener service not being started after an install, and thus must be started and set to run automatically in order to preview reports without an error. Furthermore, when previewing reports a command window now opens and if a report designer closes this command window while previewing a report, a similar issue occurs. I have created a "tidbits" tip which covers this particular issue plus two other items which is available at : http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3428/sql-server-data-tools-ssdt-is-missing-after-installing-sql-server-2014/.
