Support for WebForms ReportViewer? #164

This library looks amazing, does it cover using Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer? or is that out of scope? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Neither supported or planned, as mentioned in last paragraph off How to use in readme. Web UI of ReportViewer relies heavily on ASP.NET pipeline, which is completely missing in .NET Core. In principle it is possible to rewrite it as a Razor Page or client-size application, but the amount of work is far beyond what I can spend right now.

Closest thing you can get using this project is rendering your report to static HTML and showing that in an iframe in your application - there are HTML5 and obsolete HTML4.0 renderers for that, grafted from Reporting Services server.
