How to Deploy/Publish SSRS Reports over the web?

Question

How can I publish/deploy the SSRS Reports that I have build (using BIDS and Report Builder) over the website from where the user could just see the reports information such name & reports location and could head over to the specific report, click the search parameters (if any), click the "View Report" button and the report generates

Thanks

Solution

If this is for internal facing users, you can just use the functionality of the Report Manager website.

You can control user privileges with roles; the default Browser role will allow users to view items with a low level of access.

If you want to integrate SSRS reports into an external website, you can use the ReportViewer control to connect to a Report Server and render reports.

To get the names and locations of reports on a particular Report Server, you can access the Report Server Web Service, and call web methods like ListChildren to get an idea of objects in the Report Server.
