I’m using VS2010 to create a simple aspx page with a ReportViewer control on it. The ReportViewer control loads a remote report from the server. That seems to work fine.

But when I fill in the textfields of the report, to filter on same data then nothing is shown…

I can clearly see that it is making a request through FireBug. But the request goes through localhost, but the reports are on a different server.

Doesn’t that mean i have to specify a URL or something in the form tag? Both the ReportViewer and the ScriptManager are placed in a form tag with runat="server".

So i’m not sure if i need to specify manually to what server to request has to be made for the ReportViewer to work properly.

Because all i see currently is the textfields of the report with which i can filter the data. But no report it shown, which normally appears underneath the input fields. The rest is just plain white.

Anyone any idea what i have to do?

    The runat=”server” is specifying if it should run on the server or the clients computer, it doesn’t really have to do with the ReportViewer Control specifically, this is an ASP.NET thing.

    See here: runat=”Server”

    In order to get Reports to be fetched from a server you should look into Remote Mode,
    See here: Remote Mode

    Hope this was enough to get you the results you need.
