As you can see am new to Visual Studio. I installed VS2015 community (by "default" installation). However, when I go search for the "Data Report" or "ReportViewer" as others may call it, I don't know where else to find it.

I've followed the steps I saw on the internet, including the CTRL + ALT + D But still, it didn't appear. I've even tried to follow this step: Download MS ReportViewer2015 yet afterwards no DataReport can be found on the toolbox or anywhere on the VS menu.

Compare to VB6 where DataReport is already part of its toolbox, I find it odd that VS2015: VB.NET doesn't have such feature by default. Can you guys help me solve this problem? Did any of you ever encounter it and then manage to get it fixed? I need some solution, the kind of which I don't have to uninstall the VS2015 since am afraid that it might affect my projects and would delete the Solutions and even the forms.

Your ideas are much appreciated. Thanks.

Unlike past releases of Visual Studio, in Visual Studio 2015 the ReportViewer control requires the installation of Microsoft Sql Server Data Tools when setting up Visual Studio 2015 during installation

  • am currently in the middle of project making. How can I have these without reinstalling VS2015? I've already downloaded the ReportViewer2015.Runtime in my VS, but the ReportViewer is still missing from the toolbox. What to do? :'( – MoonPrincess Mar 31 '16 at 03:12
  • I just checked my control panels and it shows that I do have Microsoft Sql Server Data Tools installed... @Up All Night Then why does Report Viewer isn't showing? – MoonPrincess Apr 03 '16 at 12:48
