In order to Integrate SSRS Reports into an ASP.NET application, follow these steps.
Firstly, Implement IReportServerConnection2 interface. I did something like this:
public sealed class CustomReportServerConnection : IReportServerConnection2
{
public WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser
{
get
{
// Use the default Windows user. Credentials will be
// provided by the NetworkCredentials property.
return null;
}
}
public ICredentials NetworkCredentials
{
get
{
// Read the user information from the web.config file.
// By reading the information on demand instead of
// storing it, the credentials will not be stored in
// session, reducing the vulnerable surface area to the
// web.config file, which can be secured with an ACL.
// User name
string userName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Utility.Constants.AppConst.REPORT_USER].ToString();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userName))
throw new Exception(Utility.Constants.AppConst.MESSAGE_MISSING_USER_NAME);
// Password
string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Utility.Constants.AppConst.REPORT_PASSWORD].ToString();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(password))
throw new Exception(Utility.Constants.AppConst.MESSAGE_MISSING_PWD);
// Domain
string domain = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Utility.Constants.AppConst.REPORTS_DOMAIN].ToString();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(domain))
throw new Exception(Utility.Constants.AppConst.MESSAGE_MISSING_DOMAIN);
return new NetworkCredential(userName, password, domain);
}
}
public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string userName, out string password, out string authority)
{
authCookie = null;
userName = null;
password = null;
authority = null;
// Not using form credentials
return false;
}
public Uri ReportServerUrl
{
get
{
string url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Utility.Constants.AppConst.REPORT_SERVER_URL].ToString();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url))
throw new Exception(Utility.Constants.AppConst.MESSAGE_MISSING_URL);
return new Uri(url);
}
}
public int Timeout
{
get
{
return int.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Utility.Constants.AppConst.REPORT_SERVER_TIME_OUT].ToString());
// return 60000; // 60 seconds
}
}
public IEnumerable<Cookie> Cookies
{
get
{
// No custom cookies
return null;
}
}
public IEnumerable<string> Headers
{
get
{
// No custom headers
return null;
}
}
}
Now in your Configuration AppSettings place following keys ( or provide these values from wherever you want):
<add key="ReportServerUrl" value="http://sqlServerURL/ReportServer_SQL2008R2"/>
<!--Development TargetReportFolder-->
<add key="TargetReportFolder" value="/AppReporting/"/>
<add key="ReportServerTimeOut" value="600000"/>
<add key="ReportViewerServerConnection" value="FullyQualified Name of ur CustomReportServerConnection,ProjectName"/>
<add key="ReportsUser" value="ReportUser"/>
<add key="ReportsPassword" value="reportPassword"/>
<add key="ReportsDomain" value="myDomain"/>
Now , in your .aspx page, drag a reportViewer something like this:
<rsweb:ReportViewer ID="RptViewer" runat="server" AsyncRendering="False" SizeToReportContent="true"
ProcessingMode="Remote" Width="100%" BackColor="#F7F8F9" OnReportError="RptViewer_ReportError"
OnReportRefresh="RptViewer_ReportRefresh1" Height="">
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
and configure your ReportViewer in the codeBehind..
place your ReportParameter properly.
it shud give you an idea...
point is, you need to authenticate properly, hence writing your custom ReportServerConnection
http://server/ReportServerit then displays an Index (is that what its called?). So i cab basically browse through directories using my web browser. When i use this URL:http://server/ReportServer/Products/Dashboards/Product_tool.rdlthen it still shows me the same page. Is that a sign that therdlmust be located at a different path? – Phototaxis
