Have you tried View --> Report Data? Then you should see Parameters in the Report Data window. This is how I get to the parameters in VS2010.

    Remark: in VS2012 the Report Data item is located at the end of View menu, if it is not there (re)open the RDLC file. – tomash Oct 23 '12 at 13:04

    In VS2013 (cannot verify in earlier), shorcut `Ctrl+Alt+D`. It's the last option in View Menu. – aldo.roman.nurena Jun 18 '14 at 12:55
  • Shortcut works in 2008 as well, but it's missing in the view menu (Shortcut seems to be the only way to get it). – Patrick Jul 24 '14 at 13:10

    adding to @tomash ... the _Report Data_ item is at the BOTTOM of the menu ... the very very bottom where you don't always look – Ruskin Feb 10 '16 at 15:05

    I assume the RDLC UI was done by the 'B' team. I find it easier just to edit the .rdlc file in a text editor for a lot of things. =/ – Belmiris Apr 21 '16 at 15:03
  • In VS2015 the shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+D as well. – Luis Teijon Jan 09 '19 at 15:55

Just a quick remark for people using VS2008: open the RDLC in the designer and a Report main menu item should appear. The first sub-menu item is Report Parameters. You can configure the parameters from there.
