Select "Class" and provide it the name "ReportCredentials".
 
 
 
Step 12
 
This class is used to get and set the report credentials.
 
 
 
Step 13
 
Inherit "IReportServerCredentials" using the namespace "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms".
 

 
 
Step 14
 
Create a parameterized constructor to set the credentials and also create a method to get those details.
 
 
 
Step 15
 
Open "Default.aspx", drag and drop a "ReportViewer" from the toolbox under "Reporting".
 
 
 
Step 16
 
It will add a ReportViewer control to the aspx page and also register an assembly on the top of the page.
 
 
 
Step 17
 
Jump to "Default.aspx.cs" and implement the following code snippet.
 
Here we set the credentials, ProcessingMode, ReportServerUrl and ReportPath.
 
 
 
Step 18
 
Now run the website and it asks for the ScriptManager.
 
 
 
Step 19
 
Add the ScriptManager from the toolbox under "AJAX Extensions" inside the form element in Default.aspx.
 
 
 
Step 20
 
Now run the website again.
 
 
 
Step 21
 
It asks us to register the web control inside the web.config under HTTP Handler.
 
 
 
Step 22
 
Copy the details from the preceding error and paste them under HttpHandler inside web.config.

Now run the website and we can see the report in Default.aspx using the Report Viewer.
