Browsing SQL 2000 Reporting Services Reports, Registered on rs.Discounasp.net

Dear Sirs,

I Upload my reports using Visual Studio 2003 to the Discountasp server and i succeeded in that.

when i create a web form that contains link buttons that i used to redirect the page to the needed reports, a connection window is prompting to connect using the username and password to the rs.discountasp.net.

My problem is i don't need the prompt window to appear so what i have to do.

Please if any one can help Reply ASAP.

thanks Alot.

Thanks Bruce for your reply.

Q. Does your report have image (or charts)?
A. No

Q. Do you have VS.NET 2005? There is a new Report Viewer control that comes with ASP.NET 2.0 and vs.net 2k5 which will make your life much easier.
A. No


go to the link below and you will receive the prompt window, this window i don't want it to appear, in another words is there any way to include the username and password while browsing the reports link.

The login prompt will always appear if you use the direct link to the reporting server in a browser. That's the only way we can secure the reports of our customers, and I'm sure you don't want others viewing your reports.

What you can do is create an ASP.NET web application on your site that renders the reports. See this knowledgebase article for an example: http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10335

Thanks Aristotle for your reply.

I saw the articale and it works, but in this way i will loose the features of reporting services such as the find, export, and the dropdown parameters that i already create.

Plus i have to create webform for each report that have parameters as to define them, while using the direct link will help me alot because i create one form with dropdown boxes and a button that redirect the page to the selected report.

So as i see that there is no way to use the direct link without seeing the login prompt.

Thanks Again...
