I am using HttpWebRequest to view my reports (see code below). However,
I need to be able to pass parameters to the report in the code, and if
possible show graphs as well. Does anybody know how to do this?



protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

// Create a request for the URL.

WebRequest request =
WebRequest.Create("http://server/ReportServer?/Reports/AggregateOppsRepo
rt");

// If required by the server, set the credentials.

request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Get the response.

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

// Display the status.

//Console.WriteLine(response.StatusDescription);

// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.

Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

// Read the content.

string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

// Display the content.

Response.Write(responseFromServer);

// Cleanup the streams and the response.

reader.Close();

dataStream.Close();

response.Close();

}

I'm no Reporting Services expert, but assuming these require URL encoded
key/value pairs, you're much better off using WebClient.UploadValues().
