Reporting Template (RDLC) not exists in Visual Studio 2017

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.

The RDLC editor for VS2017 is only available as a VSIX installer from the marketplace: Download

I have just used VS2015 to add the new item. All other stuff seems to be fine in VS2017 (bearing in mind that you installed the VSIX extension)

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.

Please see this answer to a similar question for step by step details.
