How do you use ReportViewer to display a Reporting Services report?

S_K

Hi and thanks in advance for your help.

I have a Reporting Services report that I need to display in an
ASP.NET web page using the ReportViewer. However I can't link the
Reporting Services report (.rdl) to the ReportViewer! I have the
ReportViewer.Lo calReport.Repor tPath set to the path of the .rdl report
but the report still dosen't display.

Can somebody help me on this?

Thanks

I may miss some steps here, but I'll come as close as I can, from the top of
my head.
It's not as simple as just copying the files -
First - you need to rename the .rdl file to .rdlc
You'll need to create the datasets in your ASP.Net application also
Also - if you're using parameters, you will need to create the controls in
the page, separately, and then use an event of some sort (button, etc) to
trigger running the report

I just copied some code here:
(this is for use with 2 date text parameters - you'll need to make the
reportviewer invisible at the start, then, when executing the code:)
Dim dsSource As ReportDataSourc e = New
ReportDataSourc e("DataSetName_ DataTableName", MethodName(txtS tartDate.Text,
txtEndDate.Text ))

rpt.Visible = True
rpt.LocalReport .DataSources.Cl ear()
rpt.LocalReport .DataSources.Ad d(dsSource)
rpt.LocalReport .Refresh()

This is fairly close - you'll need to change it up a little for your own
needs, but as you can see, it's not just a drop and use type of situation.
Hopefully this will give you a start

Follow-up:
In the previous scenario, when using the smart tag, you would choose 'NONE'
when choosing datasources, but you can choose the .rdlc file
