If you need to add the items to your toolbox manually, they are in assemblies named Microsoft.ReportView.Winforms and .WebForms.

You don't add them to the project as items. They are controls that you add to forms, just like TextBoxes.

Dear Sir, When i will see the Report Viewer control available, then i will add them like textboxes.

You have to add them to the Toolbox first, then you can add them from the Toolbox to a form.
