  • Is there even a question here? What are we supposed to "understand from these images"? They don't even have the same node expanded. – Claies Sep 11 '15 at 10:49
  • @Claies its not very well shown, but i *think* the problem is that in the second image you can see a "reporting" node, the former images does not have this. – James T Sep 11 '15 at 10:51
  • Reporting project template is not available for Visual Studio community edition https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/compare-visual-studio-2015-products-vs.aspx – ram hemasri Sep 11 '15 at 10:53
  • @JamesTrotter that may be true, but the first image is showing the Visual C# node, the second is showing a Visual Basic node. Either way, I'm not sure that asking a question through screenshots is really acceptable. – Claies Sep 11 '15 at 10:54
  • Just found the category in my VS 2015 Enterprise, just *never* used it because I use SSDT BI. I suspect the OP is using Community edition – Panagiotis Kanavos Sep 11 '15 at 10:54
  • please look at the images care fully. There is no report in the first image. in the second image there is a report. let me know how to add the reporting to the visual studio ? – RedAnz Sep 11 '15 at 10:58
  • @Claies i realise that, but in this instance reporting should show up on both, regardless. – James T Sep 11 '15 at 11:03
  • @Claies. I'm Using do Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 – RedAnz Sep 11 '15 at 11:10

I had the same issue and found the resolution here:

Missing Microsoft RDLC Report Designer in Visual Studio

"The Report Designer is part of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.

You can add it using the Visual Studio setup (Programs and Features > Visual Studio 2015 > Change)"

Which version of Visual Studio 2015 do you have? In my version there is such option - Reporting. Screenshot to prove:

New Project window

Visual Studio version details:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015
  • Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL
  • Microsoft .NET Framework
  • Version 4.6.00081

  • What reporting tools have you installed? What is this "Reports application"? The project category is *not* created by Visual Studio. Have you added any DevExpress, Telerik or other tools? – Panagiotis Kanavos Sep 11 '15 at 10:51
  • Nothing - it's just raw Visual Studio Professional. Check your edition, probably you have Express or Community. – Fka Sep 11 '15 at 10:52
  • Oops, found it. I've never used it because I typically use SSRS. Guess the OP is using Community – Panagiotis Kanavos Sep 11 '15 at 10:55
  • @Fka. I'm Using do Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 . But it is Not in my application reporting . – RedAnz Sep 11 '15 at 11:08
  • @Fka. i'm using same version of yours. – RedAnz Sep 11 '15 at 11:16
  • @RedAnz - that's odd. I've never installed anything additional to reporting projects. It was always out of the box. – Fka Sep 11 '15 at 11:21
