In this Article, We will learn How to create RDLC Report in ASP.Net using Visual Studio Report Designer. For Demonstration, I have created a Database(named as Sample) and created a table tbl_Employee in it. Table Design for creating tbl_Employee.

Add some Data in tbl_Employee. I have attached the script of Database along with the Source Code for Download.
