title: Viewing Generated PDF File of SSRS .rdl file in MVC 5 (Visual Studio 2015)
body: <p>I have a .rdl file of SSRS report and it is working fine when I open it in preview mode. I know that I can host this report file (*.rdl file) on SQL Server Report Server and can use it easily.</p>
  
  <p><strong>But my requirement is that I need to display only the PDF file (SSRS report saved in PDF format) on UI of MVC 5 without using SQL Server Report Server and Report Viewer Control.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have gone through a lot of blogs and articles and I found 1 good article:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/607382/Running-a-RDL-RDLC-SQL-Report-in-ASP-NET-without-S" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/607382/Running-a-RDL-RDLC-SQL-Report-in-ASP-NET-without-S</a> </p>
  
  <p>But it is using a lot of classes for serialization and also other complex logic. I am looking for simple logic with few lines of codes.</p>
  
  <p>Some developer also suggested to <strong>“Configuring ReportViewer for Local Processing”</strong> but in Visual Studio 2015 I am <strong>unable to find Report template</strong> inside C# language. </p>
  
  <p>I have already installed SSDT tool for Visual Studio 2015 and Business Intelligence Template is available in Visual Studio 2015 but I need Report template to configure RDLC.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Please suggest the easy way of displaying only the PDF file (SSRS report saved in PDF format) on UI of MVC 5 without using SQL Server Report Server and Report Viewer Control.</em></strong></p>
