Hello,

Simply installing it will not add to the toolbox. See the following post, search for 

Now we can temporarily add the ReportViewer tool to the tool box.

Note in this case the install is done via NuGet.

Hi gaggs1,

Sorry for bothering you.

As Kareninstructor and Jack J Jun say, the RDLC report designer extension doesn't contains report viewer control, and the control this need to be add by other package.

In addition to the steps they share, you could also follow below steps:

1. download the nuget package, which contains report viewer control.
2. **modify the file extension to zip , and unzip it. **
3. go to toolbox in visual studio, right-click the white area, click "choose items..."
4. click the "Browser", then open "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll" in your extracting directory, which is like: "C:\Downloads\microsoft.reportingservices.reportviewercontrol.webforms.150.1358.0\lib\net40"
5. Then you could add it from toolbox

Look forward to your feedback.

Best Regards,

Dylan
