FIrst time writing ASP.NET MVC app- need to tie to SSRS and display reports

Hey everyone.. This is my first time writing an ASP.NET MVC web app, and it's going good. I have no problems there. What I don't have any experience in is SSRS though. Ultimately I want to be able to render reports on my ASP.NET MVC app.

1. I got the report server installed and running, and it's visible within SQL Server Management Studio.
2. I created a test report (.rdl) via Business Intelligence Development Studio, and published it to my report server. It's now there, I checked.

My question is how do I tie that into my main application? Do I have to add a reference in my main application to be able to retrieve the report I created? I'm totally lost- I have my main database and开发者_JAVA百科 my report server both visible within SQL Server Management Studio. That's as far as I got... help???? Thanks in advance..!

Try this: http://geekswithblogs.net/stun/archive/2010/02/26/executing-reporting-services-web-service-from-asp-net-mvc-using-wcf-add-service-reference.aspx

Failing that, if you are new to ASP.NET MVC and you do not specifically require MS Reporting Services (.rdl) created through BI Development Studio, but are satisfied with a standard Visual Studio Report (.rdlc) (This simply means the report may be more or less linked only to the single app. You create these via Visual Studio Project - Right Click -> New Item -> Reporting -> Report) take a look at this link (http://www.danielroot.info/2009/06/how-to-render-reporting-services.html), even though it states how to link Reporting Services, he actually means standard reporting .rdlc files. In essence it publishes simply the output from an .rdlc report as a .pdf and stream it to your user, I have found it to be incredibly simply and a powerful way to quickly publish reports.

Failing that a hybrid of both implementations might allow you to stream your Reporting Service .rdl correctly.

Good luck.
