  • Reply To: Creating SSRS projects in Visual Studio 2019 - can't get it to work!

    I would try a repair install of VS2019 or look for updates to VS2019.

    Did you install the SSDT (or whatever they are calling it in VS 2019)?  Chances are you are missing the reporting templates for VS2019.  This link has some directions:
