I'm trying to find out if it's possible to embed an RDL in a web application.
With Crystal reports, the rpt file can be embedded in a web application as opposed to deployment via Crystal Enterprise. Does anyone know if that's possible with an RDL?
I'm searching for a way to run a report from a web page that accesses an OLAP cube. I'll need to pass some parameters to the report. Has anyone done this with Analysis Services and if so, how can I get more information.
Thanks for you help

I don't know if this is true as I havent tried to do this myself but I saw that MS were planning on doing embedded reports in the next version of RS (this might be the one that comes with Yukon). I saw this comment on the MS RS newsgroups a couple of weeks ago.

OK, I don't really know anything about OLAP cubes. However, we had the need to publish reports from a SQL server that is not publicly accessible on the net. To do this, we use the ServerXMLHTTP object to pass the report request to the host server, then return the report to the user. What you have to be careful of here is that you "export" the report so report navigation isn't available-- just the report.
Perhaps that approach could work in your application as well.
