How To Access The Reports From "Reports Project - ReportServer" via "ReportViewer" Control??
Greetings Experts!
I have this problem which I can't seem to sort it out! here it is:
I have two projects in my solution inside Visual Studio 2005, one is my main project, and another underneath it is a Report Project, under the Report project I have two reports, report1.rdl, and report2.rdl, when debug the whole solution keeping the Report project as my startup project, everything works, the reports appear exactly how I need them to be. My problem is, how can I access those reports from my main project, I have added a web page "Report_Default.aspx", and added into it a "ReportViewer" control, when I try to configure the "ReportViewer" control, I am asked to sepecify the "Report Server URL" and "Report Path", I know that the "ReportServer" URL would be : http://localhost/ReportServer
but I can't figure out what the "Report Path" should be. I tried different Paths, but no good. I hope someone could help me or direct me into the right direction.
thanks in advance.

Greetings Brejk!
thanks for the reply mate!
I followed your instructions, and I think we are getting somewhere, now when I try to run the web application and accessing the "Report_Default.aspx" page, I get the following message on the screen:
The permissions granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\IUSR' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
I am not sure how to deal with this error...
what do you think Brejk?

Well, seems that you have to see some security settings in IIS for your virtual directory. Or you can just add NTAUTHORITY\IUSR to your report viewers (users that are allowed to view the reports) using Report Manager.
