Getting a .rdl from a ReportBuilder save

I have created and deployed a report model.
I can go to http://localhost/reports not problem
I can create reports no problem using the Report Builder.
My question is: Is there a way of grabbing some sort of .rdl file or
something of that report so I can publish it to another server? After
I save the report I cannot find it anywhere.
Using the Report builder is way simpler than building reports in a VS
report project.
Is there something I am missing? Can you build .rdls in VS using the
same simple UI that is in Report Builder?
Thanks,
BillBill,
By default the report builder will save the RDLin Reporting Services in the
folder where your model is located. You can navigate to this folder via the
Report Manager Website (http://{server}/Reports), navigate to where your
model is located and your RDL should be there.
OR
You can save the RDL to your local hard drive through the Report Builder
application via the File \ Save To File and specify on your local hard drive
where u'd like to save the RDL.
Hope this helps.

Get the Report Model Fields of a particular report?

If I have a Report Path and I want to get at the fields associated with this report's Model (not the fields in the Report!!!), is there a way to do so using the ReportingService2005 or the VS.NET 2005 ReportViewer control?

I have played around with the ReportingService2005.GetItemDataSources() and the ServerReport.GetDataSources() (ReportViewer) methods, but with no luck.

I imagine that this functionality must be available becuase the Model fields are displayed in the Report Builder application once you select a Model.

Thanks!

OK...to get back to the Model do this:

New" size="2">Dim datasources() As DataSource = rs.GetItemDataSources(rptViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath)

For Each ds As DataSource In datasources
Dim modelPath As String = DirectCast(ds.Item, DataSourceReference).Reference

Dim modelItems() As ModelItem = rs.ListModelItemChildren(modelPath, Nothing, True)
For Each modelitem As ModelItem In modelItems
If item.Type = ModelItemTypeEnum.Attribute Then
'this is a field in the Model
'now how do i get the FieldType?
End If
Next

Next

Now how do I get the Field Type (i.e. String, Date, etc...)?
