Report Viewer alternative

Hi,
I am using VS 2005 and sql reporting services 2000. I created the
reports, uploaded in the server and now, i need to view the reports
through a web application.
I tried using report viewer in 2005 but figured that report viewer
works with only RS 2005. how do i connect to RS 2000 Server remotely?..
Any insights,snippets is really appreciated.
Thanks,
SankarYou can use web services but the easiest is to embed and IE control and use
URL integration.

then URL integration is the easiest to do, you can also do web services
though. If winform then look up on how to embed an IE control (this is very
common thing to do, IE is componetized and the control that actually does
the work in IE is a control that you can put on your form. It has properties
(like URL) that you can set.

"Report viewer" to do it. thanks for your time.

There is a report viewer control (I believe it is more of a sample but many
people use it). However, this is a 1.1 framework app. If you are using VS
2005 then your app is a 2.0 framework. So, your choices are to roll your own
using web services or to use URL integration.
