Hello All,
I am trying to embed some reports in a Web Application. I created the report using VS.NET and deployed it to the report server.
To embed it on the web page I am using the reportviewer control and setting the 2 properties, ServerUrl and the ReportPath so that the report gets generated on my page. Is this the correct method or are there any other methods to do it?
Thanks
Imran

I think you are describing the URL method of integrating, which is what I use. You can also use the SOAP method, but I am not familiar with that.

Hi Imran,

I am also using the reportviewer control. For the ServerURL and ReportPath properties, I am getting these settings from my web.config file for ease of implementation from development to deployment.

I like the web.config, nice suggestion...

On your Page that has the viewer put something like this in the page_load event (param is optional):

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Put user code to initialize the page here

Dim strReportPath As String

strReportPath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("rptPath").ToString & _

ReportName & "&rptParam1=" & Request.Form("txtParam1")

Me.ReportViewer1.ReportPath = strReportPath

Me.ReportViewer1.ServerURL = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("rptServerURL").ToString

End Sub

Thanks for the reply,

There is also a Webservice method which can be used to generate reports through code. Did anybody ever use that??

Thanks
