We have a lot of reports on the Intranet that take parameters. All reports are going to be re-built in SSRS. Our goal is to pass all the parameters to the report from the .net application.
What would be the easiest and the fastes way to render reports from .NET application?
If you are using VisualStudio 2008, you should be able to add the MicrosoftReportViewer control to your toolbox and add it to your form designer that way.
If not, you can add a reference to your project to Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms (or .WebForms).
More information is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252073(VS.80).aspx under the section marked To add the ReportViewer control to your form

I have an on-promise server and published a sample powerbi report on SSRS, then I called the report inside reportviewer control (in my asp web application), but I am getting below error, can any one please help me with it?
The operation you are attempting on item '/XXXX' is not allowed for
this item type. (rsWrongItemType)،
The Report Viewer Control only suports paginated rdl reports. If you are using SSRS preview with Power BI support the best option for embedding is an iFrame.
Sorry for being a newbie to SSRS.
My design goal:
Near term: develop - using SSRS - a simple client side (no reporting server!) report - based on MS SQL data tables, and embed it into the .NET WPF client (application)
Long term: for additional reports, hire external SSRS experts, so they will provide the reports developed, and I will integrate them into the same WPF application.
I managed to do 2 things:
Develop a simple report connecting to MS SQL, using Reports Builder 3.0 - as a result, an RDL file was generated (the file contains all the DB connections)
Embed a ReportViewer WinForms control into the WPF application.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to load the report I developed, into the application.
I understood from articles on the new that RDL is not designed to support client-side execution (without a server), and RDLC should be used instead. However, I wasn't able to figure out how to conver the report to RDLC, using the Reports Builder - it does not give me an option to save in a different format.
I would appreciate any hint from the experienced people on how to accomplish my goal.
Specifically, should I use RDLC, and if positive - what's the way to get the report in this format?
Thanks

I would recommend using Visual Studio when creating RDLC reports that will be embedded within an application and run in "Local" mode, and using either Microsoft Report Builder or Visual Studio to create RDL reports that will run in "Server" mode within SSRS.
A RDLC report would be created within a WPF Visual Studio project be simply creating a new Report.
A RDL report would be created within a Reports Server project when using Visual Studio.
Alternatively, it appears you could simply rename the file from RDL to RDLC if you don't mind manually correcting the Data Source information in the report definition file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252109(v=vs.120).aspx.
I need to do some manipulation to the HTML code of a rendered SSRS 2008 report (to insert some tags that SSRS 2008 doesn't support). I want to to this through adding JavaScript code in the ReportManager.js file in the SSRS server.
However, a simple "view source" of a render report will show you that my "hooks", or any text that I include in a text box or placeholder are nowhere to be found in the rendered HTML.
Am I doing something wrong?
I don't think you can manipulate the report rendering using the standard out-of-the-box Report Manager interface. Your best bet is to create a custom web app using either the ASP.NET ReportViewer control or the Report Server Web Services, and then you can do some manipulation of the report output.
Good luck!
I`m working in a program that supports English and Arabic languages and in current days we are developing the program reports.
We choosed to use SSRS with ReportViewer control in WindowsFormsApplication(C#)
I searched for a way to change the DirectionLayout property of the tablix according to language(LTR english, RTL arabic) and I tried a lot of solutions but with no success.
I do not want to create two reports or create one report with two tablixes one for each language.
Now I`m trying to do the following:
Use SSRS web services to get report definition
Edit the report definition (convert Tablex DirectionLayout to RTL)
Use SSRS Execution Service to load the definition and render the report
assign the renderd report to ReportViewr control
I would like to know is that possible? And where can I search to achieve this task?
1) Depending on the version of SSRS you are using, you can use GetReportDefinition method (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportservice2005.reportingservice2005.getreportdefinition(v=sql.100).aspx) or GetItemDefinition (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportservice2010.reportingservice2010.getitemdefinition.aspx)
2) You can use the RDL Object Model to edit the RDL, although it's not trivial and the classes of the Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel namespace are marked internal (SSRS 2008 R2 and higher). You can find sample code by Teo Lachev at http://prologika.com/CS/blogs/blog/archive/2010/03/08/where-is-rdlom-in-r2.aspx and by Lionel Ringenbach at https://github.com/Ucodia/Blog-CustomReportingServices.
For reference information about the classes and methods of the RDL Object Model, start at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff493708.
3-4) I think it would be easier to deploy your edited report back to the server and then call it with the ReportViewer control. Then you can just leverage available methods in a straightforward manner. The ReportViewer control can handle the rendering directly. Here's information on deployment via the Web service: http://tomyrhymond.wordpress.com/2011/08/07/sql-server-reporting-services-deploying-rdl-files/
I'm currently using Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012. I know that one of the most common possibility to access reports is to use web server from SSRS itself with its web service. My question is: do we have other possibilities to access these reports, like from our own web page on our own server e.g. IIS or Apache? And do we still need this web server integrated with SSRS?
Sounds like you are looking for this document specifying methods applications can use SSRS. It provides links on how you can implement three methods of server access:
Using the web service
the ReportViewer control
URL access.
URL access can be very easy to implement, you can get the resulting report as a stream and pass it on to the client, save it, display it, &c.
Note that even Report Manager is built using these methods.
There are two methods to access the reports : either from the SSRS web server or from SharePoint.
Note that you can always create a web application that pulls the report list from SSRS and display those reports as you wish by using the SSRS web services.
