How to use MvcReportViewer in asp.net web forms #185

Closed itw2016 closed 7 years ago

itw2016 commented 7 years ago

Dear Author,

I have an old project designed in asp.net web form using vs2010, now I would like to call SSRS report using your MvcReportViewer. How do I go about doing this ?

Thanks in advance

Regards, itw2016

You don't need this viewer if you're using WebForms; this is a wrapper around the WebForms ReportViewer to allow it to be used in an ASP.NET MVC view.

I have used this viewer in my other new project, it's interface is really clean and nice.

For my old projects, can I add MVC into web forms projects first, then use this MvcReportViewer ? meaning I use this technique to add Mvc in old web forms projects first: https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/mixing-aspnet-webforms-and-aspnet-mvc

I have not tested yet, is the above idea workable ?

The idea covered there is still correct, if out-of-date. http://www.davepaquette.com/archive/2013/12/30/so-you-inherited-an-asp-net-web-forms-application.aspx is probably more current. The key takeaway is that you just have to add the MVC packages via NuGet, and then do a little bit of configuration. MVC is still ASP.NET, after all.

Thanks man, we will look into this suggestion. Meantime, we are also considering the following webforms and ssrs integration for our old projects: http://www.smarterasp.net/support/kb/a1705/how-to-integrate-ssrs-into-asp_net.aspx

The best to start using the extension is sample application. For example, https://github.com/ilich/MvcReportViewer/blob/master/MvcReportViewerExample/Views/Home/Fluent.cshtml
