[RESOLVED] Toolbox does not have a Tablix control for an RDLC report
I have installed the Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms v150.1440.0 in my project using the NuGet package manager.
I have created a report (Windows Form) and placed a ReportViewer control from the Toolbox on the report's surface. Intellisense shows it is a ReportViewer version 15.0.0.0 .Net Component.
I cannot find the Tablix control in the Toolbox.
What do I need to do to get the Tablix control into the Toolbox?

It’s been a while since I last built a project that included a ReportViewer. I am trying to remember all the steps that I followed back then.
Do I need to add a new report, so that I can choose it with the ReportViewer’s smart tag?
My VS2019 Community program does not have a “Report” in the “Add new...” menu. I vaguely remember “Add -> New Item -> Reporting -> Report -> Report1.rdlc” on prior projects.

Racking my brain on this...
I used to use a paid version of VS (2010?). A few years ago I began using VS Community. I don’t think I have ever built a report with the ReportViewer and VS Community 2019.
I followed the instructions in the link. I vaguely remember having to do these steps with my paid version of VS.
After the VSIX Installer finished installing the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer, I now have a “Report” in the “Add new...” menu.
This has been another reminder of how complicated VS can be. I wish Microsoft would include the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer in the “standard” installation of the program.
Building a report is complicated enough even after you have to figure out how to just get the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer installed! Grrr…
