Deploying generated reports at runtime

Due to the requirements of my project I think I need to generate the RDL for
my reports programatically.
However, I think I also need to view them in the ReportViewer web control in
Remote processing mode. My question is, once my app has generated the RDL,
what's the best way of "getting it to SSRS" to that it can be processed.
In the following sequence, it is steps 3 & 4 that I am unsure about:
1. User requests report
2. App generates RDL based on user's config
3. App does something to give it to give the RDL to SSRS?
4. App sets ReportViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath to the path to the report
(what is the path?)
5. SSRS renders report and ReportViewer displays it to user.
I'd be grateful for any help
StuHello Stu,
You could use the Reporting Services Web Service to upload the report to
the report server.
Here is the sample code:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
class Sample
{
public static void Main()
{
ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Byte[] definition = null;
Warning[] warnings = null;
string name = "MyReport";
try
{
FileStream stream = File.OpenRead("MyReport.rdl");
definition = new Byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(definition, 0, (int) stream.Length);
stream.Close();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
try
{
warnings = rs.CreateReport(name, "/Samples", false, definition,
null);
if (warnings != null)
{
foreach (Warning warning in warnings)
{
Console.WriteLine(warning.Message);
}
}
else
Console.WriteLine("Report: {0} created successfully with no
warnings", name);
}
catch (SoapException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString());
}
}
}

I have this set-up and working. Are there any performance issues when
multiple users are uploading reports to the reportserver?

i am getting invalidoperation exception. any ideas?
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(String));
using (MemoryStream memorystream = new MemoryStream())
{
serializer.Serialize(memorystream, GenerateRDL());
ReportService = new ReportingService2005();
//ReportService.Credentials =System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
ReportService.Credentials =System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
ReportService.Url = reportserverurl;
memorystream.Position = 0;
Byte[] bytes = memorystream.GetBuffer();
try
{
BAR.RS2005.Warning[] warnings =ReportService.CreateReport("AdHocReport", "/ServerReports", true, bytes,
null);
//BAR.RS2005.Warning[] warnings =ReportService.SetReportDefinition(reportpath, bytes);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ee)
{
StringBuilder error = new StringBuilder();
error.Append(ee.Message);
error.Append(ee.Source);
error.Append(ee.InnerException);
error.Append(ee.Data);
Trace.WriteLine(error.ToString());
}
}
