How to deploy RDLC files on ReportServer from an ASP.Net project

Question

User423701163 posted

Hello,

Using Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008.

I have an ASP.Net web application that contains several aspx pages and several local reports (.rdlc). In order to improve performance with large sets of data I want to turn the local reports into server reports, therefore I need to deploy them on the ReportServer.

But how can I do this? My project is just a web site project and not a Business Intelligence one. Is there any tool in Visual Studio 2010 that can let me achieve this?

(If I would create a Business Intelligence project using the BIDS that comes with SQL Server 2008, then it would be a VS 2008 project and the reports will be incompatible with VS 2010 format, I think....)

Please advise.

Thank you,

M.R.

You can use the Report Manager web-based tool to upload reports. Anyway, you will need to convert such local report (RDLC) to a server report (RDL). You talked about performance reason... have you measured it? I mean, have you compare the same RDLC vs RDL performace?
