You have to install this component separately after installing 2019.

Once VS2019 is installed.. go to Tools -> Get tools and Features. Search for Reporting Services and install it.

Then you can create new SSRS projects

I had the same exact problem. Here is a workaround: Create an xml file containing the following minimal content. Then change the extension of the file from MyReport.xml to MyReport.rdlc in order to have rdlc extension.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Report 
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" 
xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">

<Width>6.5in</Width>
<Body>
 <Height>2in</Height>
</Body>
<rd:ReportTemplate>true</rd:ReportTemplate>
<Page>
</Page>
</Report>

I came to this solution, after installing all suggested tools/templates, still could not view the option/button to add a rdlc tool.

Using this technique you can now open/edit the file in the reportViewer Designer inside Visual Studio 2019

PS: This solution applies to .net 5 projects, and .net core 3.1 projects also, has chance to work on .net core 2.x project (didn't test this last).

From Visual Studio Extensions Menu => Manage Extensions => Search for RDLC =>Install => close and open your visual studio

Well.. after searching a lot, i installed Visual Studio 2015. create a winform project and added it to my Project in Visual Studio 2019

I can create datasets, rdlc report, just in this winform project, and then i add it to my wwwroot folder

My project, and the winform project at the bottom
