Hi Lye,

As we create a RDLC report in MVC4 aaplication, the data source drop down list is empty, there is a solution by adding a web form page to the MVC project.

Please refer to the link below:

Hi,

To Create a SSRS Reports in MVC

Follow the steps mentioned in this link to create SSRS reports.

Creating SSRS reports in ASP.NET

This will make the SSRS to load with data in aspx page and till the above steps it’s normal like we creating SSRS reports in .Net.

TO show the reports in MVC

We need to have a place holder which will load the aspx page. Use iframe for loading the aspx page

Add an iframe to your .cshtml page and assign the src to point to Reports.aspx page.

 <iframe runat="server" id="Reports" src="~/Reports.aspx"
                    width="95%" height="460"></iframe>

Hope this helps
