Can I use the reports generated by the designer in windows forms c#?
Yes, you can use the reports created using our report designer in windows form. Currently, our report viewer is not available in WindowsForms platform. However, you can use WPF report viewer in Windows Forms using ElementHost control. Refer to the below MSDN link for more details on Element Host control. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.integration.elementhost(v=vs.110).aspx
By default, reports are written in rdl format; can I rename them to rdlc and use them with visual studio 2017 report viewer? Or does it only work with WPF?
Yes, you can rename the rdl report as RDLC and you can view the report in report viewer. But, we need provide local class objects as datasource for the RDLC report and you can able to view this RDLC report also in windows form application.
We have prepared a sample in windows form using our WPF reportviewer as host element for both RDL and RDLC report for your reference and it can be downloaded from the below location.
