I installed Microsoft Reporting Services Projects VS2019 extention and ssdt based on this link on vs 2019 : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt?view=sql-server-ver15

I have wpf core project in vs 2019 , but when I right click and select add new item , there is not Report item to select. How can we add .rdlc file to wpf core project?

I found it , we have to install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer extention on VS 2019. Now I have Report and Report Wizard items in add new item. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio-18001

    Even after insalling this, still cannot view the add an rdlc item option – Bellash Dec 23 '20 at 15:15
  • @Bellash the reason for this is that even though Microsoft is offering the ability to view and edit RDLC files in .NET 5+, the ability to actually add them will no longer be possible going forward. For now my solution is to add an existing RDLC file and edit from there. – Freerey Jul 19 '22 at 18:52

You have to install this component separately after installing 2019.

Once VS2019 is installed.. go to Tools -> Get tools and Features. Search for Reporting Services and install it.

Then you can create new SSRS projects

  • I don't want to create ssrs project. I only want to add a rdlc file to my wpf core project and print it. – M Komaei May 08 '20 at 00:18
  • maybe if you install the above add on, then it might be available when you add a new item? If not, I'll just delete my answer – Harry May 08 '20 at 00:37

I had the same exact problem. Here is a workaround: Create an xml file containing the following minimal content. Then change the extension of the file from MyReport.xml to MyReport.rdlc in order to have rdlc extension.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Report 
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" 
xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">

<Width>6.5in</Width>
<Body>
 <Height>2in</Height>
</Body>
<rd:ReportTemplate>true</rd:ReportTemplate>
<Page>
</Page>
</Report>

I came to this solution, after installing all suggested tools/templates, still could not view the option/button to add a rdlc tool.

Using this technique you can now open/edit the file in the reportViewer Designer inside Visual Studio 2019

PS: This solution applies to .net 5 projects, and .net core 3.1 projects also, has chance to work on .net core 2.x project (didn't test this last).

From Visual Studio Extensions Menu => Manage Extensions => Search for RDLC =>Install => close and open your visual studio

Well.. after searching a lot, i installed Visual Studio 2015. create a winform project and added it to my Project in Visual Studio 2019

I can create datasets, rdlc report, just in this winform project, and then i add it to my wwwroot folder
