I have many reports in which header section is the same. I want to create a common template of Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2010 where I can put my common header and use this template in all other reports.

I know that I can create report template using template field object, but I cannot see this type of item in my Crystal Reports -> Insert menu.

So my question is: how is it possible to create Crystal Report Template In visual studio 2010?

Using Crystal Report you can create a Report Template as your requirement (Data Connection is not required, just objects can be added like logo, headers, footers, etc.,). After completing save as .rpt. Whenever u need to create a new report in this format, u can import this report using Template Expert.

Pls look at this Tutorial for more details.

EDIT :
If you want to do this in visual studio, I can suggest you to create a Format Report and save as .rpt
while you open a new report select From an Existing Report and browse the Format Report u made already. Hence the new report which your created will looks like your format report.
