Developing ASP.Net with reportviewer / wizard - missing UI options

Developing ASP.Net with reportviewer / wizard - missing UI options

I'm new to C# .net web development and I'm trying to learn how to create a
simple reporting site from online walkthroughs etc. I'm a SQL Dev by
trade... So I'm probably missing something basic.
Here's the instructions I'm working from
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252123.aspx): 1. Make sure that
the top-level Web site is selected in Solution Explorer. 2. Right-click on
the Web site and select Add New Item. 3. In the Add New Item dialog box,
select Report Wizard, enter a name for the report file, and then click
Add.
The problem is, "Report Wizard" is not on the list of installed items in
the add item dialog box. In fact there is nothing report related on the
list.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Express for Web, which AFIK includes the
correct report components. I created the project as a website (File -> New
Website, ASP.Net Website)
I bet I'm missing something that will earn me a face palm, but I've
searched high up and low down and wasted the best part of a day. I'd
appreciate any help! Thanks
