Configure RDLC Report with ReportViewer : SharePoint 2010

I have worked with SharePoint 2010 Foundation and found the RDL(C) report is not configured automatically.  To run a successfully report I applied the following changes in SharePoint web.config file. To make sure the configuration works for reporting just put a reportviewer control inside a webpart/page and try to access the page. First of all make sure you have intalled “Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 Redistributable Package”. You can it from here.

Here I am going to list down steps to configure report viewer setting for SharePoint.

1.   First find the following line in AppSettings and comment it out as shown below:

 <!--<add key="ReportViewerMessages" value="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Analytics.UI.ReportViewerMessages, Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />-->

2.   By default session is disabled in SharePoint. Enable it by ensuring an entry like below inside <system.web>.

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="60" />

3. Enable session at page level by setting the enableSessionState to true of <page…..> tag inside system.web.

<pages enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" ……………………=""

4. SharePoint disable the default session module inside the <system.webserver>\modules tag. To enable the module comment out the following line inside <system.webserver>\moudles as shown below:

<!--<remove name="Session" />-->

Now if you try to put a reportviewer control in webpart/page, you will find a message as below:



If you got/find above error message while accessing the report page then you are on right track. Please continue with following steps:

5. Add the following tag inside system.web\httphandlers section

<add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

6. Add the following line in the system.webserver\handlers

<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

7. Comment out the following line in the system.WebServer\httphandlers (If Exists)

<!--<add name="ReportViewerWebControl" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />—>

 

That's it..!! Error will be resolved now. Enjoy..:)
