how to integrate bi reports in my web application?

What is the most common way to integrate reports into a .Net web application?

  • The following are the 3 ways that I know and would like to know the experiences from SO users. URL-based Report Viewer Control from Visual Studio Web Services

  • Answer:

    Not sure what you're using as a report generator on the server side, but I've found that serving up reports in PDF format is a relatively pain-free, cross-platform way to go. Almost everybody has Adobe Reader installed. Update: sorry, I missed the SSRS tags, but you can output SSRS reports to PDF: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/reporting-services/PDFUsingSQLRepServices.aspx I still recommend PDF for the delivered report format. Cross-browser and near-universal, two things that make me (and clients) very happy.
