I am using Reporting Services to render a report directly to PDF. It requires that I use two web references: ReportExecution2005.asmx and ReportService2005.asmx. The performance on web references seems really poor. Since my web server (IIS7) and my SQL Server (2008) are on the same box, is there a way I can reference them directly? If not is there any way I can explicitly cache them or something. First load is really really slow, second load is perfectly acceptable.

Thanks

    Two things need to be done to solve this issue:

    1. xml serialization
    2. Change the Reporting service recycle time (worth about 20 seconds on first report startup for me)
    3. Change the application pool recycle time in IIS (worth about 5 seconds on first report startup for me)

    As a side note on the xml serialization there are instances where the setting above does not actually add anything to your assembly. You can add web proxy classes by opening a commandline in your project dir and enter wsdl <web service name> /out<proxy class name> e.g. wsdl http://myworkstn:8080/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS/ReportExecution2005.asmx /out: ReportExecutionProxy.cs.

    Then add a post build event (Solution Explorer | Rt Click on Project | Properties | Build Events (Tab) | Post –build event command line (section)) "$(FrameworkSDKDir)Bin\sgen.exe" /force /assembly:"$(TargetPath)" /proxytypes /parsableerrors The /proxytypes switch only adds the proxy classes

    Hope this saves you the hours it took me to find all this. 🙂
