Microsoft Report Designer Error

  • I created the SQL report in MS Visual studio 2005 and am also able to

    Run. But the problem is I cant deploy it.

    Every time I deploy it says

    "A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer"

    ---- Unable to connect to the remote server (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)

    Can you let me know the difference between RUN and DEPLOY.

    And what things need to be done in the localhost. I want to run and deploy the report on my

    local machine, as I am trying to show those reports in ASP .NET Web App (locally hosted site)

    One more thing ... oops ... if somebody can give good source to refer to for "ReportViewer" control.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Did you install the Reporting Services service and web site on the your pc? When you go to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration and connect to localhost what do you see?

    RUN - starts the report within the RS Design environment so you can verify that it works.

    DEPLOY - publishes the report to a report server. Inserts the report and report information into the specified report server database and makes it available on the Report Server web site.

    For using the ReportViewer control check out the VS and SQL Server BOL.

  • I have done as you said to check the Reporting Services Configuartion.

    But it says that Report Server is not installed on the machine number ##### and

    that machine is mine. So what I have to ask for to my higher personnels if any ?

    And can we pull in the SSRS report build in VS 2005 in the website on the localhost.

    and how .. ?? Any good resouces ???

    and can it be accomplished without the above "trouble" :w00t: being solved????

    Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You need to install SSRS on your PC if that is where you want to deploy reports. If you have SSRS installed elsewhere you just need to set your deploy location to be to that server. It is found under Project -> Properties.
