I want to create RDLC file in my C# project. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067.aspx) But I'm not getting Reporting item templates (Report or Report Wizard). I've got VS2013 Professional Edition so I assume it should have been there.

I've also installed SQL Server Data Tools for VS2013 and I'm able to create New Report Server Project and add a report there. But that's RDL file, that's not what I'm looking for.

I've tried devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates with no luck.

I'm not able to find these item templates online either (not sure if my company firewall is blocking anything).

Does anyone know what could be the reason for missing item templates (Report or Report Wizard) and how can I get those added in my current project?

Have you installed the Microsoft Report Viewer Runtime/Redistribution? These install the report viewer controls.

Microsoft Report Viewer Runtime 2012
