I found that reports tend to grow, usually AFTER the application has been deployed and has been used for some time. Also if you have different customers they often want distinct reports.
I had all my reports in a table, all records had a stored procedure name and a file name, if the file existed and the procedure existed the report could execute.
I could then distribute a new report without having to recompile and distribute the app. Simple deliver the file and a script to create the stored procedure and report record.

i understand that you are talking about RDL report which is stored in sql server database but here i asked about RDLC which is client side.i asked how could i distribute my rdlc files with my application setup as a result when client install my setup then he can view the report which is based on rdlc. i like to know what is industry standard way to include rdlc into setup project. if you such thing then please advise. thanks

No I was talking about a strategy for distributing RDLC reports. You can include the reports in a folder in your setup project. I don't believe there is an 'industry standard' as most installer tool work differently.
I find that the reporting requirement changes as the user gets familiar with the application and additional reports are always needed AFTER delivering the application.

i know it is possible that we can create a folder and include report manually every time before building setup but i want to know is there any automated process by which report will be added automatically every time when we build setup from a particular folder. let me know.thanks

I'm not up with winforms deployment as I'm using Silverlight but I would have thought that once you have completed a reports development and testing that you move it to a deployment folder and include that folder in the deployment build!
