Depending on your Visual Studio Version you need to install some RDLC
extension.
when download completed. You should close the visual studio to let installation happen. Now, you can re-open Visual Studio again, and double-click your reports to open in designer.
If your .RDLC is opening as XML in Visual Studio by default, then you would need to install the correct version of RDLC Designer extension for Visual Studio. You can compare which ReportViewer version you are using by looking at the tag where you are including report viewer control on the web page.
For example for Version 14.0.0.0, you can download the correct extension from Visual Studio Marketplace a link provided below which matches with Report Viewer version 14.0.0.0 and Visual Studio 2017
