Hi,

I am currently developing an online application that in some ways
emulates the report viewer available in Report manager, but where
there is no client-application.
I want to be able to change parameters and render the reporting
services reports within a single web page without the use of an
iframe.

1) Is it possible ? If so, is there anywhere i can get guidance ?
2) If it is impossible, then is it possible to create like the
Reporting Services viewer ? In particular, the behvaiour of the
scroll bars would be desirable - i.e. only the iframe vertical scroll
bar (and not the parent window scroll bar) is enabled at all times ?

Code, advice, criticism all welcome !
many thanks,
regards
Mark

Hi Mark:

Yes, you can use the report server web methods. There is a Render
method available, and the trick is to pass a device info parameter
indicating you want an HTML fragment instead of the full-bodied HTML
(with a head tag).

The scrollbars you could accomplish, I think, by placing the HTML
fragment into a scrollable <div> tag.

I have some code samples around, if you need to see an exampe shoot me
an email.

Thank you very much !

We have now decided to go for option ii) , as we have controls within
some of the reports..

I have successfully disabled the window vertical scroll bar.. only
minor issue with this is useability for users at 800*600 resolution.

I think we've decided to screw'em anyways ...

thanks again
Mark
