You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
First add the report called Vanilla from the above folder into your project (right-click on the project and choose to add an Existing Item):

Initially the report looks a bit boring and corporate.
Edit the file called rsreportserver.config in the appropriate folder so that it references a style sheet called pink.
Copy the default CSS file called HtmlViewer.css, to get a new file called pink.css:

You're now ready to make things pink!
Deploy the report to the report server, then see if your changes have worked:

Much better!
Finally, please delete the reference to the CSS style sheet from your rsreportserver.config file, before it gives an unprofessional impression of Wise Owl!
