Not able to find Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Webforms

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2019 (16.9.29). I added the following extensions: Microsoft Reporting Services Projects Microsoft RDLC Report Designer But when I try to install Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms, it doesn't find it. I receive this error:

Command: NuGet\Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms -Version 150.1537.0

Result:

Attempting to gather dependency information for package 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms.150.1537.0' with respect to project 'RptViewer', targeting '.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2'
NuGet\Install-Package : Package 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms 150.1537.0' is not found in the following primary source(s): 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft

I try to add a Package source to https://NuGet.org directly, but I am not sure if i did it correctly. I desintalled/reinstalled the extensions I cannot find the package in the NuGet Package Manager either.

What can I do to find the package and install it?

Thanks for helping a beginner!

The error message shows that the package does not exist in your local package source (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages), check your Package Source in Tools > Options> NuGet Package Manager > Package Source.

What's your source link of Nuget.org? It should be https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json like this:

You can install package use NuGet Package Manager (right click on the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages), and select the correct source link when searching for the packages:
