Report Builder displays the description text as a tooltip in the Explorer pane.

I would like to have metadata about each field in the model when we use
report builder. I tried to use the description field that is in the
properties of each field but that discription does not show up on report
builder. Is this possible to do? Am I just doing it incorrectly?Mr. Meyers, thanks for the reply, I do have one question as a follow up. Do
I have to do something to turn it on? I have descriptions typed in, but when
I "hover" over the column name in report builder, I only get the column name
again in the little text box that comes open. I am running RC2.
Thanks again.

Report "code behind"

Or rather simple access top the report in markup format from Visual studio! Sometimes I have to go to windows explorer and drill down to my report and open it as a .txt file to see what I am looking for.

Why in gods name does visual studio not have it such that I can see my report in markup.

I am running local reports which might be the reason, cant complain to much over something that is free I guess

In Visual Studio you can right-click on the report name and open in XML format - if that's what you are talking about.
