Reporting Template (RDLC) not exists in Visual Studio 2017

Question

Reporting template Component (RDLC) not exists to as New Item in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise.

How to resolve this?

I have tried by installing SQL Server Data Tools.

Previously it works for me in Visual Studio 2015.

Answer 1

There is a bug in the extension Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio that the ReportViewer shows up as a non-visual component.

Instead use the NuGet Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WinForms for each project that will use the ReportViewer. Part of the solution involves removing the ReportViewer from the toolbox after use and restarting Visual Studio before opening the next project/solution.
