Deploy web app with ReportViewer to hosted site embedded mode

Deploy web app with ReportViewer to hosted site embedded mode

  You should be able to find this assembly in the GAC.
  
  Note that when VS 2005 is released a setup program for installing ReportViewer assemblies will be included, so this will be easier.

  Rajeev, you say it's in the GAC.  I've now found ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel listed on my machine in C:\WINDOWS\assembly.  But I'm not able to copy it.  It's not like a normal .dll file.
  
  How do I get a copy of it
  
  I'm running Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 installed on a new machine.
  
  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I had this same problem. I am using Godaddy. I also have VS 2005 PRO, so I don't know why it didn't add these assemblies to begin with. But anyway, I added these files to my BIN and it still didn't work. It said I didn't have the required permissions and failed while loading the reportviewer common dll. What would cause this

  Hi TimSinnott,
  
  I’d like to thank you for this recipe.
  
  Really works !
  
  Thanks

  OK, tracking down those 3 files and including them finally worked, but then I received an error that the report was broken (I had the site as not updatable). I copied just full report to the server and overwrote the stub file. This then worked. Does anyone know why that is an issue and if so what can be done about it

  Thanks,
  John

  >> add in the .NET assebly reference to "Microsoft.ReportViewer.Webforms<<

  Can you please give more specific information on how to include this reference

  Thanks,
  John

  Not sure what the root cause is here because the assemblies appear in windows\assembly\gac_msil.  I've posted a feedback item:

  Next, they used the GacUtil.exe from .Net Framework 2.0 to install the three dll's,
  
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
  
  into the GAC of the server.  Then I no longer needed to put the .dll's in the Bin folder.
  
  Now everything is working great.

  Hi,

  If you run the ReportViewer.exe on the deployment server and restart IIS you can solve the problem.

  ReportViewer.exe path : on the development machine ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\ReportViewer\ReportViewer.exe")

  There is another approach to take on this. You can create a Web deployment project, and then add in the .NET assebly reference to "Microsoft.ReportViewer.Webforms". Once you add this it will then add the detected dependencies of "Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common" and "Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel".

  Once they are added then go into the properties of each and change the folder from "Web Application Folder" to "bin".

  Build your project then run the setup on the web server and you are all set.

  I had the same problem and using tims first resolution worked fine. You have to dig deep for the processingmodel dll, and you have to use the publish web site for it to work also.

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Beta2.
  
  I finally got this working, thanks to the guys at WebHost4Life.  Here's the summary of the solution:
  
  I needed to get these 3 dll's into the bin folder of my hosted website:
  
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
  Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
  
  The first two .dll's were easy to copy from C:\WINDOWS\ASSEMBLY on my development machine, using WindowsExplorer.  To copy the third .dll, it was necessary to use the Command Prompt to drill into C:\WINDOWS\ASSEMBLY\GAC_MSIL \MICROSOFT.REPORTVIEWER.PROCESSINGOBJECTMODEL, and then use the copy command to copy the .dll file.
  
  For getting my test reporting Web Application to my hosted site at the WebHost4Life hosting service, I used the Visual Studio 2005 menu command Build/Publish, which compiles and uploads the app.
  
  Next, I FTP'd the three .dll's into the Bin folder that was made automatically by the Build/Publish.  (Do not put the 3 dll's into their own folder; put them directly into the Bin folder.)
  
  Then, finally, I tested the app, and it works fine.  This is a pure example of a Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 web application with SQL Server Reporting Services in Local Mode, that is, a web app with an "Embedded" report, running on a hosted website.
  
  (By the way, the guys at WebHost4Life really went out of their way to help me solve this, took a real interest in it.  Before I started using WebHost4Life about 2 years ago, I had tried about five other hosting services.  At WebHost4Life, their immediate personal attention to this SQL Server Reporting Services application is another example of why WebHost4Life.com is so popular among ASP.NET developers, not to mention their very low prices.)

  I've tried using the GacUtil etc, but nothing is working for me. Is it still necessary to jump through all of these hoops - I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro (full version).

  I'm not able to copy any of the dll's.

  Does a simple straight forward approach exist for this problem

  thanks,

  Tom

  Hi Tim,

  I have done everything what u mentioned above. But still my appln is working after deployment.

  The error i am getting is

  • An error occurred during local report processing.
  • The definition of the report 'Main Report' is invalid.
  • An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘[BC2001] file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\oxanlm5m.0.vb' could not be found’.

  I think my problem is not with dll's because i found all the three dlls in C:/windows/assembly folder of deployed server.

  My application is working properly under development,but once i deploy it not working. Do u have any idea

  With Regards,

  Vijay Kumar
