I am trying to add a .rdlc report to a C# Windows application using Visual Studio 2017 Community, but the ReportViewer control shows as a non-visual component below the form.

I have tried the solution I found here: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/install-rdlc-extensions-in-visual-studio-2017/

and here: Reportviewer tool missing in visual studio 2017 RC

I want to be able to display the .rdlc report on the form, just like the way it appears on other versions of Visual Studio. Any assistance will be appreciated.

As I know Visual Studio 2015 and above versions has hidden RDLC report viewer. To enable this feature you can go to ControlPanel > Visual Studio 2017 > Right click and choose Update, then you can find the extension for RDLC.

I also found a link to do it easier : install RDLC extension for report viewer in VisualStudio 2017

  • Please were you using visual studio 2017 community? – UwakPeter Aug 02 '19 at 06:32
  • Yes, I used both VS2017 community and VS2017 Professional. I did install RDLC for both versions and they worked well. For your issue I think you can post a question on Microsoft forum for more information. – binh nguyen Aug 02 '19 at 09:10
