I have an rdlc (definition is 2010) and trying to edit it in the Visual studio 2017 (community).
When I open it in the designer (which is an separated extension and require to install)
It ask me to update the RDLC to latest version.
I can edit it in visual studio 2017 after update RDLC.
But edited RDLC CANNOT be rendered (the definition updated to 2016)
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition
If I choose not to update, the report viewer can display the report correctly.
Then I try to search why the reportViewer unable to render definition 2016 RDLC.
I found that the reportViewer version in Visual studio 2017 is version 12.
According to information from web, the latest version of report viewer is 14.
And I found there is actually NO WAY to update the report viewer to 14 (at least in community version).
I am curious why the handling of visual studio 2017 can be that bad
The RDLC designer forces us to update the RDLC to 2016 definition in visual studio 2017
But there is no way to update the viewer to render the report with 2016 definition
Installed things:
Designer ask me to update when trying to view the RDLC in the VS2017
Updated RDLC cannot be rendered in the ReportViewer
If choose not to update, the reportViewer can be displayed, but designer cannot view and edit the RDLC
There are a few different components for RDLC in Visual Studio 2017.
Designer
Installed as an extension - you need this to edit your reports. I understand this is what you have already:
Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio (marketplace.visualstudio.com)
Projects/Wizards
A separate extension. Adds the projects and wizards into Visual Studio that you use for creating new projects/reports.
Microsoft Reporting Services Projects (marketplace.visualstudio.com)
Extension links only for clarification, you can find them in Visual Studio in:
Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Online.
ReportViewerControl
For each project you have that uses ReportViewer, you need the ReportViewerControl NuGet package to give you the updated viewer:
For Winforms (or WPF via a WindowsFormsHost (learn.microsoft.com)):
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms (nuget.org)
For ASP.Net (never used personally):
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms (nuget.org)
Again, links only for clarification, you can find in Visual Studio in:
Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for Solution -> Browse.
Note: Be sure to install the correct nuget packages. If you're coming from VS2015 you might previously have had unofficial packages installed. Check the name carefully (and the link if you need to confirm). Screenshot below:

I am trying to install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer in Visual Studio 2017. For my install attempt I went to Tools--> Extensions and Updates and selected RDLC Report Designer and clicked download. It began the installation process and then failed with a Modifications Failed box shown on the attached see screen shot. I also tried to install the RDLC Report Designer from the Marketplace and got the same error. Any idea why this is happening? I have Visual Studio 2013 installed on the same machine with RLDC installed for it, could that be the problem?1
The only things I saw in the installation log that stood out were:
Capping recursion at 5 directories in each extension root due to 'default limit'.
5/2/2022 12:35:06 PM - Skipping 'C:\Users\peter\AppData\Local\Microsoft SDKs' as it doesn't exist
5/2/2022 12:35:06 PM - The extension with ID '717ad572-c4b7-435c-c166-c2969777f718' is not installed to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017.
Thanks

I was able to get the RDLC Report Designer and Report Server Project installed by updating visual studio and then installing the extensions.

I installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1 and wanted to create "Report Server Project". However it was not available. I tried to google the solution and most were saying to go to:
TOOLS > EXTENSIONS and UPDATES > UPDATES and check for updates related to SSDT and update it. I tried updating it but it is
not continue updating. For others it worked, but for me it didn't.
So ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION is to download SSDT from : SSDT for Visual Studio (VS) 2015.
Choose the appropriate language you need to download.
SSDT for Visual Studio 2015 SCREENSHOT
Here is the direct link for Visual Studio 2015 English: Visual Studio 2015 English
After installing, Report Server Project Template will now appear in NEW > PROJECT:
Report Server Project Template is now available SCREENSHOT
i want migrate from Visual Studio 2010 to 2017
in 2010 i'm using Data Report (and called SSRS)
how i use data report in Visual Studio 2017?
by the way, i can compile and run VS2010 app with reports, but i can't Design Reports, because editor show me RDLC files as XML structure.
then i install (Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio)
now i can design report files by easy, and i still can using Data Report as VS2010
I need use SSRS to generate reports in Visual Studio 2017.
Firstly I installed report viewer control via nuget: Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms
After installed the control, I got the report viewer in the toolbox. But the RDLC editor is not in the new project dialog.
So I downloaded and installed Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio
After doing this, I found the report viewer disappeared from the toolbox and RDLC editor is still not in the new project dialog window.
Did I missing some other stuffs to install? Or I did something wrong?
Thank you.
Have a look at the answer to this question: Reporting Template (RDLC) not exits in Visual Studio 2017
"There is a bug in the extension Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio that the ReportViewer shows up as a non-visual component."
When I Google and look up how to add a RDLC report to my Visual Studio 2013 Project I get the answer i'd expect, usually "In the Templates pane, select Report or Report Wizard"
This article is one of them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067(v=VS.100).aspx
Nowhere can I find anything about "what if there is no Reports section" in your installed Templates
For the last month I thought this was because I needed to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013. Yesterday I installed this. As a result I now appear to have a new version of Visual Studio 2013 called "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Integrated)". It has a purple icon and loads with a black splash image
My Project is currently running and being developed in Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web which has a green icon
If I try to load my project into the new Integrated Shell VS 2013 I get errors. What I really want is just to have the template available so I can add RDLC reports
I have already used MuGet to install MvcReportViewer and set my web config etc and references. Following instructions at https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvcReportViewer/
Now I need to create an RDLC but have no Template to do so
Could it be that VS-2013 Express has this feature turned off, because if I go into Help/About VS2013 Express for Web it has SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.30919.1 as an Installed product
Any comments appreciated
As far as I know, you can't use VS 2013 Express to edit RDLC files. It requires at least the professional version.
See: http://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/navteam/archive/2013/12/19/microsoft-visual-studio-2013-now-supported-for-rdlc-report-design.aspx
You can, however, create them in Sql Server Reporting Services, which is part of the advanced version of Sql Server Express Edition, using SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio (BIDS) Express.
Try to download (Microsoft Report viewer 2012 run-time)
& Report Builder3
- First is the tool that display & Print Report.
- Report Builder is the tool that you can design report with it.
You Must have SQL Server 2012 Installed
