Greg Low points out an oddity in where Reporting Services templates are located in SQL Server 2017:
Templates are just report files (ie: RDL files) but placed in a special folder on your system.
If you’re starting with a blank page to create a report, you’re doing it wrong.
But where do these templates come from? In the Visual Studio 2015 version of the tools, they were here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\
Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProjectI found after installing the VS2017 version of the tools though, that they weren’t there any more.
Greg has found them in two separate locations, so read on to learn more.
