title: Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer in Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>I am <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SqlReportingServices.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio-18001" rel="noreferrer">Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer extension</a> and NuGet <code>ReportViewerControl.Winform</code> package.</p>
  
  <p>Now it is possible to open *.rdlc file in Visual Studio 2017 designer, but when i try to save my report i am getting error: <strong>"Unknown Report Version: 9.0</strong></p>
  
  <p>Also, i can't create empty *.rdlc file because don't have the same template in <em>New File...</em> dialog</p>

  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>UPD:</strong></p>
  
  <p>At <code>this</code> moment, i have no idea how to fix that, but i know hwo to <strong>avoid</strong> it:</p>
  
  <p>Open your <code>old</code> report in <strong>VS2015</strong> and then save it - next time <strong>VS2017</strong> can open/edit/save files.</p>
