Display one or more existing reports created in SSRS in a C# Visual Studios project no report server?

Question

I need to deploy one or more existing reports created in SSRS from a C# Visual Studios project without using a report server? The project we are working on only needs 3 reports and the project lead feels that establishing a report server is not justified.

We are working with Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Please help.

Answer 1

So you want to generate your reports without the report server ?

If so, your best (but not recommander option) is to convert rdl files (your reports) to rdlc files (client reporting) and use them with the ReportViewer control (WebForms/WinForms). Depending in your implementation, it can be quite difficultt to do.

Here is a sample from MSDN.
