Hi,
I have an option in end user report designer as it is rendered using the Report.ShowDesigner() method on the server side.

When I call this method, I get the following exception:

Calling this method is inappropriate in the Web context Is this a known limitation or am misusing something here.

Thanks

The main problem with this is that you are attempting to launch a winform app in a web application . so even if the report designer pops up it will pop up on the server machine and not the client machine as you requuire it to.

best would be to create a clickonce application and running it from there.

I assume you are using developer express reports.

also research their article on how to store reports on custom storage becuase you will have to parse your reports back to the server via the use of web services.
