sql server reporting services:

Hi,

My reportserver has forms authentication (for web based users).
When I now try to open a report in the winform report viewer I get an error
on the viewer about the login page. How can I pass the login credentials via
code to the reportserver?:

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a
href='/ReportServer/pages/UIlogon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fReportserver%2fReportExecution2005.asmx'>here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

Hello bartVDA,

Thank you for posting.

Regarding on the windows form's reportViewer control, it is
programmatically requesting the report content from reportServer
application rather than interactively like the webbrowser control. Also,
since the form based authentication require the client-side always use
webbrowser to interactively request the report, this will break the winform
reportviewer(also webform reportviewer). BTW, for wniform application, you
can also consider directly lauch webbrowser to display the report through
the actual URL or use a webbrowser control in it though they're not as good
as the well encapsulated reportviewer.
