Hello,

I made a web application in which I want to show one report. I took report viewer from toolbox and placed on my web form. Its working fine when I'm working in my visual studio (development mode) but when I host or put it in my www.root folder, it shows me an error : "The defination of the report 'Main Report' is invalid. The Report definition is not valid. Details: Data at the root level is invalid. I googled this error and came to know to replace the .rdlc file in your iis folder to the original/development one. I did it. Now its not showing me error, but its not showing me data as well. Only header of report which is page no, export to,is visible.

Plz I need urgent help...

Thanks

If you want to display Crystal Report you need to add Crystal Report assemblies. It will be better if you try HTML Report Viewer.

Thanks for your feedback. Actually its microsoft report viewer. And when I'm trying to add reference microsoft.reportviewer.processingobjectmodel.dll, I'm unable to find in my .net assembly tab.

Exclude the rdlc files form the project temporarily before precompilation(publishing), then copy the rdlc file back to the same location on the deployment folder
