In this post we will see how to enable RDLC Reporting in Visual Studio 2017.
Go to Visual Studio Marketplace
- Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio
- Rdlc Designer and projects for ASP.Net and Windows Forms for Reporting Services Report Viewer Control
- Microsoft Reporting Services Projects
- The Microsoft RDL report designer, projects and wizards for creating professional reports.
Download both package and install.
We also can install using Visual Studio > Tools > Extensions and Updates
Go to Online Section > Visual Studio Marketplace > Search > “RDLC Reporting”
After installation re-open the project and Go to Add New Item > Visual C# Items section
See both Report and Reporting Wizard is there.
Now we need to add Report Viewer Control(both Windows and Web) from NUGET
Go to Toolbox > General > Choose Items > .Net Components > Browse
Path: \WindowsFormsApp1\packages\Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms.140.340.80\lib\net40
Choose Item
Finally ReportViewer control appear in Toolbox, drag and drop it to the form.
Hope this’ll help 🙂

hi,
i have created an web api which returns byte array, on reportViewer.LocalReport.Render method i get an exception “The definition of this report is not valid or supported
by this version of Reporting Services. The report
definition may have been created with a later version
of Reporting Services, or contain content that is not
well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services
schemas. Details: The report definition has an invalid
target namespace ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/
reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition’ which cannot be
upgraded.”
Using Visual Studio 2017.
Thanks

Hi,
I got exaxctly the same error as you (about http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/
reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition)
Have you found a workaround since then?
Thanks,
Tamas

Hi,
Working solution for me.
– Close VS2017.
– Double-click on rdlc, it will be opened in VS2017 and converted automatically.
– save rdlc and restart your projet.
It’s now working.

Dear Mr.Shashangka ( Microsoft Tech.Empolyee)’
We purchased visual studio 2017 and installed perfectly and now it is working . But we are unable to find any reporting tool in that to create report.
Either Crystal report or any other native reporting tool not getting.
My question is : I understood from this site we can enable by Clicking TOOLs Menu and Extension and updates menu or VSXI installer. BUT MY QUESTION IS WE NEED TO BUY THIS LICENCE SEPARATELY OR IT IS INCLUDED IN VISUAL STUDIO 2017 (which we purchased ). Pleaase let me know , I don’t want to try the above solution without proper knowledge.
Regards
Girish BR

“After installation re-open the project and Go to Add New Item > Visual C# Items section”
Did you start with a project open? If so what template was the project based on?
