I could not find the Crystal Reports template in Visual Studio 2008 to create a Crystal Report.
So, after googling I found out that while installing I should have enabled the Crystal Report basic option. I did that also, but I could not find the Crystal Reports template while adding a new item, whereas in ToolBox under Reporting tab, it displays CrystalReportViewer and CrystalReportDocument controls.
What is the difference between adding a CrystalReport template or adding a CrystalReportViewer? Are CrystalReportDocument controls on a form working the same?
I am new to the Crystal Reports concept and usage. Can you please help me make the Crystal Reports template appear while adding new items in project.
The Visual Studio version is 2008 Professional Edition.
There seems to be some help in this blog post - especially in the comments.

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
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.
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.

Crystal Report now doesn't comes with Visual Studio. You have to download it separately. Follow this link: http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/default.asp .
Once you install the CR2010. You will be able to add crystal report pages (.rpt) in your project using VS 2010.
I don't think Crystal Reports are provided by default any more in VS2010, you have to download and install them separately.
