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."

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 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 have Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. After installing Crystal report for visual studio I can't add a new item of type of crystal report. I restarted the visual studio and my PC but I can't see this. I went to control panel and see that Crystal report already installed.
What is wrong?
We have a VS2008 solution with a project that had RDLC files. We generate them dynamically in code, and don't need the viewer.
However, when we converted to VS2010, when I open the .rdlc i don't get the designer, it just opens as XML. Even if I create a new rdlc from scratch in 2010, it opens in xml, not with the designer. Help!!!
Reporting Services development is done in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), which uses the Visual Studio shell. The Visual Studio 2010 shell is not yet supported. You'll have to edit the report in BIDS using the VS2008 shell.

I'm new to Crystal Reports and Visual Studio. I already created reports in crystal reports and I also have a Report Viewer in my forms in Visual Studio 2010. I am wondering how to embed the created reports in the report viewer in visual studio 2010 forms and what references should I include in order for it not to have errors. Please help. Thanks
