3- can i use my entity framework as a data source for my report , if yes how to achieve this using Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2012
You will need to install SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013. This design studio is no longer called Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS), past VS 2013.

I'm upgrading from Visual Studio 2012 to 2013 for MSBI.
I have downloaded Visual Studio 2013 and SSDT separately.
SSDT fails to install:
Unspecified error. One or more issues caused setup to fail. Please
fix the issues and then retry setup.
It creates a log file every time.
If you want to develop Business Intelligence projects, what you need is SSDT-BI, not SSDT. SSDT is for SQL Server database projects and publishing etc.
SSDT-BI is for BI projects such as Integration Services, Reporting Services and Analysis Services.
You can download SSDT-BI 2013 from here.
If you want it only for business intelligence projects you don't need to download Visual Studio separately, SSDT-BI comes with Visual Studio shell.
You can as well start using SSDT-BI 2015 which supports SQL Server 2016 too.
Good luck.
I have just installed SQL server 2014 developer on my home computer running windows 8.1. To create reports I installed Visual studio 2015 with the business intelligence templates. when I attempted to create a report, reporting services was missing from the templates the only template available was integration services. How can I get that template?
The Report Designer is part of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
You can add it using the Visual Studio setup (Programs and Features > Visual Studio 2015 > Change)
I have a problem very similar to this post
I have installed "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension" for Dynamics CRM 2015. Installed BIDS for Sql Server 2012 and working with VS 2013 Community Edition. Windows Live sign-in assistant is also installed.
I created a new project with Business Intelligence/Report Server Project and went on to Add New Data Source but see the following list with no option for "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Fetch"
Apparently, there seems to be no errors. Can anyone give me some ideas or suggestions on what to do to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 Report Authoring Extension (with SQL Server Data Tools support) doesn't support VS 2013. Here is part of System Requirements:
The following components are required:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
-- OR --
Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Data Tools
To install SQL Server Data Tools, on the PC running Visual Studio 2010 go to the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express download page,
download the following files appropriate to your CPU architecture and
language:
ENU\x64\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe
ENU\x86\SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe
Select the "SSDT" or "SQL Server Data Tools" installation.

I have Visual Studio 2013 and Sql Server 2012 installed but i don't know how to create Sql Server Reporting Service in Visual Studio.I have searched on google and have read that Visual Studio Business Intelligence required for this...
Please help me that where is the Business Intelligence option in Visual Studio that i have installed ?
You need to install Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2013 before you will see the Reporting Services template.
You can download it for free from the Microsoft site here

Once this is installed, select File, New, Project, and you will see a new template folder called Business Intelligence. Expand this folder and select the Reporting Services option.
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
