how to use SSRS report in ASP.NET Boilerplate? Could you please share some examples?

Question

I want to use SSRS report in my Boiler Plate application. To achieve this, I am not able to add a web form to include report viewer for RDLC report. Could you please share some examples?

If you just need to add a new asp.net web form then in a MVC project it's possible to add a new aspx page.

Since .aspx files don't user Razor, and you can't tell it to use the _Layout page.. so you need the layout html.

If you want to check user permission as well, you can see the sample code below;

public partial class CrystalReportViewer : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IocManager.Instance.IocContainer.Resolve<IPermissionChecker>().IsGranted("Pages.CrystalReports"))
        {
            throw new Exception("You are not authorized");
        }

        //Show report otherwise
    }
}
