Visual Studio 2017 SSRS Report Templates

reporting-servicesvisual-studio-2017

With the version of SQL Server Data Tools included with SQL Server 2012 you could create a report definition and copy the .rdl into the folder below and it would appear when you created a new project item.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject

I'm trying to achieve the same with Visual Studio 2017 and the Report Project extension though this does not appear to work when I copy the file to the folder below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject

How can I get template report items to appear for report projects?

The new location is now under (replace Enterprise with whatever your sku is)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSDTRS\ProjectItems\ReportProject

UPDATE: This now looks to have changed to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\SSRS\ProjectItems\ReportProject

Reporting Services 2012 deploy error: “Error while loading code module”

It turned out I needed to copy the dll to this folder on the report server: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin

That is the only place it is needed on the report server if you just want to deploy reports to it.

Asp.net-core – Visual Studio 2017 install breaks Visual Studio 2015 ASP.NET Core Projects

@ClaudioNunes and @MegaTron have the correct answer. After reading that answer, I realized my .NET Core solution did not have a global.json file. I added a new solution folder and added a global.json file. Since none of my projects are nested in sub folders, I only had to remove "src" and "test" from the projects array:

{
  "projects": [],
  "sdk": {
    "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003131"
  }
}

The project now opens correctly in VS 2015 with VS 2017 RC installed.
