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
Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 Redistributable Package
After installing VS 2013 Update 4 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44916) I'm able to see Reporting item templates.
Please note: I had installed Report Viewer Runtime and Redistributable package as suggested by #Scott before installing Update 4. That time Reporting item templates were not available.
Now I'm not sure if Update 4 in itself is sufficient for item templates or you need Update 4 + Report Viewer runtime/redistributable.

I am doing maintenance on a winforms project, VS2013 framework 4.5
Now I got to a point where some reports need to be build, but I cannot find the report generator that comes with visual studio.
So, this might be a stupid question, but where is the report generator from visual studio ?
Its been some years since I worked with a microsoft programming tool but I believe that something called crystal reports was delivered with older versions of visual studio. What is the report generator that is delivered with visual studio these days and where to find it ?
You can still use the ReportViewer that comes with Visual Studio to view reports. You can simply draw that control on your Form.
For the creation of reports, you can add a new Report item to your project, which works inside the visual designer of Visual Studio. This will create a .rdlc file.
Crystal Reports doesn't have a bundle agreement with Microsoft any more, so they can't be found pre-installed any more. You can still download it though.
Hello I am trying to create a website in VS 2013 and trying to add a report (.RDL) in the project. But when I do Add New Item, I am not able to see any report or report wizard in the dialog.
I did installed SSDT Tools for SSRS as well but still I didn't got any report template/editor in the visual studio 2013. Previously I was using vs 2012 and later when I installed vs 2013 I was able to get the report template in the VS 2013 but when I formatted my PC, I just installed 2013 but no option for reports or report viewer in the tool box.
Can anyone please guide me to get the template back ?
After looking at your list of installed templates, I think you got the wrong version of SSDT, since you have options for SQL Server templates, but not Business Intelligence. There are two very distinct versions of SSDT: SSDT for regular database tooling, and SSDT-BI (contains templates for SSAS, SSRS, SSIS projects).
Please follow this link and download SSDT-BI for 2013:

This should install the desired templates.

You can download those files from here
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
And check out this link, maybe it solves your problem
Crystal reports problem
I've created a bunch of RPT files and we've been using Business Objects to run them against our sql db using a different param's for each rpt file to generate a pdf.
Is there an api I can use to run these reports?
I've downloaded and installed crystal reports for visual studio, but (1) I'm not sure which dll's I need to add to accomplish this and (2) I can't find any documentation or sample code -- can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish, your question is not very clear. If you are looking for a program to view the reports in, SAP has a free version of the Crystal Reports Viewer available here. If you want to create applications to run your reports in, you will need something like Visual Studio, which lets you create Windows Forms or Web Applications to embed your Crystal Reports in.
EDIT: To add Crystal Reports to Visual Studio you will first need to download the runtime from SAP. Most commom runtimes can be found here. Then you will have to add the CR to your toolbox in VS by choosing Tools -> choose Toolbox items. Make sure the .NET Frameworks Components tab is selected and scroll to the CrystalReport items. Check the items you want to add (CrystalReportViewer for sure) and click OK. After that the CR Viewer should be available to you in the Reporting section of your toolbox.

In Vs 2003 the Runtime of Crystal reports was bundled in the program setup when you create the installer and installed, but with vs 2005 and later you have to install it.
I think here you can find the msi
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27917
The dll version of the Runtime that ships with vs is different from the various version of Crystal reports, so you have to install the right one
There's a good chance that installing the new version of Crystal Reports wiped your previous assemblies out of the GAC and replaced them with a newer version. From SAP:
As each version of Crystal Reports has its' own specific runtime which
must be correctly deployed, it is critical that the deployed runtime
be in agreement with the Crystal Reports assemblies for Visual Studio
.NET referenced in your project.
Your error looks like it is trying to find a DLL from Crystal Reports 10.5 and as the above link suggests, it does not like having differing versions of crystal reports running side by side.
