If you are using IE control you have only one choice. One, the reports need
to be in their own project. Two, they have to be deployed to a server in
order to test your links.

As far as invoking the reports, it confuses me. You stated that you are
using the IE control. The only way to use this control is doing URL
integration. All you are doing is assembling a string and setting the URL
property for the control.

I guess in a convoluted way you could use web services, stream the html to a
file and give the IE control a

If you are using VS.Net 2005 then look at the new controls. There is a
winform and webform controls. The new winform control is a much better way
of integrating reports (I am using it in a Winform application. I use IE
control in a In-Touch application... real time control user interface).

Sorry Bruce, I meant a ReportViewer control on a WinForm.

Ahhh, HUGE difference. There are two ways to use the Winform control: server
and local mode.

Server mode, develop your reports in a reports project, separately. Test out
your report there, deploy and then integrate with Winform control (which is
what I do).

Local mode. Develop report initially in a reports project. Test out report.
Copy rdl file, renaming it to rdlc. Bring the rdlc into your winform
project. Note that you do have much more to do to get full functionality of
a report in local mode. It is nowhere near as simple as integrating in a
report which is deployed to a server.
