Use the WebForms ReportViewer control
To view reports deployed to a report server or reports that exist on the local file system, you can use the WebForms ReportViewer control to render them in a Web application.
Create a new Microsoft ASP.NET Web Site using either Microsoft C# or Microsoft Visual Basic.
- Or -
Open an existing ASP.NET Web Site and add a new Web Form.
Locate the ScriptManager control in the AJAX Extensions group in the Toolbox window, and drag it to the design surface of the Web form.
If the Toolbox isn't visible, you can access it from the View menu by selecting Toolbox.
Locate the ReportViewer control in the Toolbox and drag it to the design surface below the ScriptManager control.
The ReportViewer control named reportViewer1 is added to the form.
After the control is added to the form, the ReportViewer Tasks smart tag appears, prompting you to select a report. If the report you wish to view is deployed to a report server, select the <Server Report> option from the Choose Report drop-down list. Once the <Server Report> option is selected two more properties appear, Report Server Url and Report Path. The Report Server Url is the address to the report server and the Report Path is the full path to the report you want to render.
If you want to view a report in local mode, select either the Design a new report option to launch the report designer or select a report that is already part of the existing project. After you select a report, be sure to enter the name of the report RDLC file in the ReportPath property of the ReportViewer control. This property appears under the LocalReport node in the Properties pane.
You have the option of hiding one or more of the items on the ReportViewer toolbar when the report is rendered. For example, you can hide the print button. To hide toolbar items, set the following ReportViewer properties to False in the Properties pane.
ShowBackButton
ShowExportControls
ShowFindControls
ShowPageNavigationControls
ShowPrintButton
ShowRefreshButton
ShowZoomControl
The following example demonstrates how to render a report that is deployed to a report server. This example uses the Sales Order Detail report that is included with the AdventureWorks2022
sample reports project.
The example uses integrated Windows Authentication so you first must enable impersonation. To do this insert the following line into the web.config file:
<!-- Web.config file. -->
<identity impersonate="true"/>
Note
Impersonation is disabled by default.
C#
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
// Set the processing mode for the ReportViewer to Remote
reportViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;
ServerReport serverReport = reportViewer.ServerReport;
// Set the report server URL and report path
serverReport.ReportServerUrl =
new Uri("https://<Server Name>/reportserver");
serverReport.ReportPath =
"/AdventureWorks Sample Reports/Sales Order Detail";
// Create the sales order number report parameter
ReportParameter salesOrderNumber = new ReportParameter();
salesOrderNumber.Name = "SalesOrderNumber";
salesOrderNumber.Values.Add("SO43661");
// Set the report parameters for the report
reportViewer.ServerReport.SetParameters(
new ReportParameter[] { salesOrderNumber });
}
}

The following example demonstrates how to render a report that is part of the Windows application and isn't deployed to a report server.
Open the Web Site that the report will be added to.
From the Website menu, select Add Existing Item.
Browse to the location where the AdventureWorks Report Samples project is installed.
The default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Reporting Services\Report Samples\AdventureWorks Sample Reports.
Select the Sales Order Detail.rdl file and select the Add button.
The Sales Order Detail.rdl file should now be part of the project.
Right-click the Sales Order Detail.rdl file in Solution Explorer and select Rename. Rename the report to Sales Order Detail.rdlc and press ENTER.
If Solution Explorer isn't visible, you can open it from the View menu by selecting Solution Explorer.
The following code example creates a dataset for the sales order data and then renders the Sales Order Detail report in local mode.
C#
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
// Set the processing mode for the ReportViewer to Local
reportViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
LocalReport localReport = reportViewer.LocalReport;
localReport.ReportPath = "Sales Order Detail.rdlc";
DataSet dataset = new DataSet("Sales Order Detail");
string salesOrderNumber = "SO43661";
GetSalesOrderData(salesOrderNumber, ref dataset);
ReportDataSource dsSalesOrder = new ReportDataSource();
dsSalesOrder.Name = "SalesOrder";
dsSalesOrder.Value = dataset.Tables["SalesOrder"];
localReport.DataSources.Add(dsSalesOrder);
GetSalesOrderDetailData(salesOrderNumber, ref dataset);
ReportDataSource dsSalesOrderDetail = new ReportDataSource();
dsSalesOrderDetail.Name = "SalesOrderDetail";
dsSalesOrderDetail.Value = dataset.Tables["SalesOrderDetail"];
localReport.DataSources.Add(dsSalesOrderDetail);
// Create the sales order number report parameter
ReportParameter rpSalesOrderNumber = new ReportParameter();
rpSalesOrderNumber.Name = "SalesOrderNumber";
rpSalesOrderNumber.Values.Add("SO43661");
// Set the report parameters for the report
localReport.SetParameters(
new ReportParameter[] { rpSalesOrderNumber });
}
