Question

I’m having a problem with the ASP.NET version of the ReportViewer control for SSRS.

In my ASP.NET web forms file I have:

    <rsweb:ReportViewer ID="webViewer" runat="server" Width="100%" Height="100%" 
        ProcessingMode="Remote">
        <ServerReport ReportPath="/AnalyticReports/SiteOverview" 
            ReportServerUrl="http://someserver/ssrs" />
    </rsweb:ReportViewer>

This works fine and dandy as expected.

However, say I want to change the server and report path programmatically. How would I do that?

I tried this:

webViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("http://someserver/ssrs");
webViewer.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/AnalyticReports/SiteOverview";
webViewer.ServerReport.Refresh();

However that doesn’t seem to do anything. I even tried adding a webViewer.Reset() but to no avail.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Actually, it seems that the problem lies with the Page_Load event. After coming across http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337091.aspx I tried Page_Init and things seem to work as expected.
