I can't view my reports when my app is deployed to appharbor. Locally it works fine but when deployed only the reportviewer "skeleton" shows up, but no data is dispalyed.

Would there be any workaround?

Thanks

   Could you point us to a url where the problem is evident? Also, if you invite support(at)appharbor.com, we can start taking a look at your code.

   Hi Michael, thanks for wanting to look into this issue. I set up a little
   testreport at:

   http://www.condominiosconectados.com.br/reporttest.aspx

   where u can see the problem.

   I will also invite support at appharbor.com as u suggested.

   Regards,
   Jaime Baum

   It seems you are not committing solution and project files. This makes it slightly difficult for me to debug your code on my machine.

   Having said that, it seems there's supposed to be a Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd file in the root of your site. The missing file is what generates a 404 on http://www.condominiosconectados.com.br/testreport.aspx which iframes Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd.

   This error is probably due to the fact the report viewer dlls are not found on the server. Try pushing those along with the rest of you code, as mentioned in this post.

   Let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue.

   Hi Michael, thanks for your answer.

   Thing is, all the required dlls:
   Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
   Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
   Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll

   are already in my bin folder, and I suppose these were uploaded too at the
   first push

   And as for Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd, I have this in web.config:

   <add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*"
   type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler,
   Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
   PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false"/>

   After some more research I found this link:

   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4901127/asp-net-4-0-type-not-found-when-using-ms-report-control

   Where it's implied that the hosting service should deploy a support package
   for report viewer on their server.

   Like I said, on my dev machine it works fine, and deployed to my former
   host, it also works as expected.

   Regards,

   Jaime

   Sorry, hadn't looked for the dll's -- they were there.

   Turns out you need to add the control to the <handlers> section of your web.config. It works on your site now, if you fetch from your appharbor repo, you will get a working web.config.

   Here's the current handlers section in in system.werbServer:

       <handlers>
           <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>
           <add name="Reserved-ReportViewerWebControl-axd" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
           <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
           <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
           <add name="ScriptResource" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
       </handlers>

    Hi Michael, thanks for fixing the problem.

    I already updated my local web.config too
