Embedding Reports with no Windows related tools

  • I'm on a project for a reporting site that among other tools, will use SSRS.

    The problem is that the main developer won't use .Net, Sharepoint, the Report Manager or anything similar.

    Is there a way to embed the report on a web app without using the mentioned technologies?

    I just need somewhere to start looking for and any help will be appreciated.;-)

  • Yes, and no. You can build a link in a web page, or have your application build a link and then jump to that link, that will use the Report Viewer. The report is developed and deployed to Report manager and the report viewer will call the report from the report manager, but there is no development involved.

    Although if your lead developer is handcuffing you so strictly, I have to wonder why you are using any MS products like SSRS.

    That's the same question I ask myself, it's mostly because the project manager might not have idea of the problems it causes and decided to involve all the technologies available without thinking on compatibility.
