Why are there no reports in visual studio 2015?

Question

C++ / C#

Good day to all!
In general, the problem is this:
I have 2 versions of visual studio 2015 and 2012. I mainly work on the 2015 version and at some point, when working in winforms, I needed to create a report. I go to add a new element, but it's not there. But the joke is that in the 2012 version, the report is quietly added to the project.
People tell me how to add reports to the 2015 version, or maybe they began to be created somehow differently?
Thank you all in advance!

Are you sure it's not a third party component library?
I don’t remember such a standard component in the forms at all,
and if it’s a library component, you just need to clarify what kind of library it is and connect it to the 2015 studio project, another question is that a more recent version of the library may be required, and there are times when developers do not develop libraries, that is, they can find that a compatible version does not exist. but first you just need to find out - from which library is the component?
ps the "report" component may seem standard if you happen to have a lightswitchthe project seems to have been there, but these are not forms, everything is based on silverlight. but in this case, not everything is simple - in 2015 it is an optional component of the professional edition studio, in 2015 the community can be raised by installing OfficeDeveloperTools, but 99% that there will be conflicts with Azure Tools, but it is expressed in the fact that the project cannot be published - and how to resolve , you will have to google .. by the way, there is a conversion of lightswitch projects from 2012 to 2015, but it messes up - the project may not assemble, and even if it assembles, attempts to develop it still cause jambs (this is because the lightswitch project in 2015 is better to recreate with 0)
.. for example - in 2017 lightswitch does not exist at all, MS closed this project and does not recommend using it,
but if it's exactly forms - find out what kind of library
