How can i trasform a microsoft sql server report service in web application or something that i can access on the net?
thanks to all that would help me
You've got a bunch of different options - see:
Integrating Reporting Services into Applications
Using the Report Server Web Service/SOAP APIs
Extending/Integrating Reporting Services using RS Programming
There's a asp:ReportViewer control, which allows you to either display a local *.rdlc file containing a report definition, or you can also hook that up to a server-side *.rdl file on your reporting server.
Is that what you're looking for? It can render and show the report you defined on a ASP.NET page.

In 2005, SQL Reporting Services had two separate services:
http://[server]/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx
and
http://[server[/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx
In 2010, the reportservice2005.asmx has been replaces with reportservice2010.asmx. There are some differences between the two, but so far I've been able to navigate them ok.
But what I am not finding is any new service for reportexecution2005.asmx. And it does not appear that the functionality in this service has been rolled into reportservice2010.asmx.
So, for actually rendering reports, should I still just use reportservice2005.asmx?
From Report Server Web Service Endpoints and more specific the Execution Endpoints section I would say that ReportExecution2005 Namespace is still the way to go.
The ReportExecution2005 endpoint makes it easy for developers to
customize report processing and rendering from a report server in both
native and SharePoint integrated modes. The endpoint includes classes
and methods that existed in earlier versions of the Report Server Web
service. In addition, many new classes and methods have been added to
the Report Server Web service that are exposed through the execution
endpoint.
I have developed SSIS Package to fetch data from SharePoint Lists and importing to the SQL Server Tables. I am going to deploy this package as a Project Deployment Model.
From these SQL Tables, I have built SSRS Reporting Solution including few reports and Deployed it on my Development SharePoint Site.
But now, I have no idea how to send this solution with reports to the Client Side.
I have checked below utilities but not getting the exact idea of what I should do.

SQL Server version I am using is SQL Server 2012 and Data tools version is also 2012.
Please guide me here.
Thank you,

To deploy your reporting objects, you right-click on the project in Visual Studio then select deploy and configure the server to deploy to.
If you are trying to get an already deployed package, you can use the import wizard:
e.g.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh270294.aspx
Then the report server can be accessed by the client browser - e.g. in internet explorer, browse to to: http:
//reportserver/reports
Where "reportserver" can either be the server's ip address or reporting server name.
You can also modify these reports using the report builder tool, that will allow you to edit the rdl files on the server - e.g. when you browse to the reports, you can select edit with report builder.
If you are using sharepoint, you can use sharepoint authentication mode or you can set up access based on active directory groups at the folder level, if the client is browsing to the reports using the web browser.
I'm trying to connect to a WCF Webservice using basic authentication through SSRS 2008 R2, but all I get is an error complaining that I should be using Windows Authentication.
Is it really the only way to do it? I can't find any official document where this limitation is mentioned.
Can you think of any workaround for this case? (Other than switching to windows authentication).
Thanks for your time.
Regards.
are you trying to connect to the SSRS webService?
If yes, this is a SSRS configuration. You must open the RSReportServer.config file and edit the tag

In Visual Studio 2010, how do you create a report using a List returned from a WCF call?
See this article here:
Reporting Services: Using XML and Web Service Data Sources
It explains in great detail how to attach data from a web service as a data source into a Reporting Services report.
I am going to use SSRS to generate report for my website.
Scenario:
I have 2 servers, Application server & Database Server.
I want to have reports(.rdl files) sitting on Application server(IIS) accessing data on SQL server(Database Server)
In order to fulfil these requirement I require to install SQL server 2k5 on my Application server just for having SQL server reporting service. So I am just waisting one of licence of SQL server by installing that on Application server.
Is anyone having any idea how to install only reporting service with SQL server 2k5??
In order to have Reporting Services on your Application server, you would have to use a SQL license. You can install just the Reporting Services section of SQL Server, but it is still technically part of the SQL Server application and requires a license for use on that processor(s).If that is a huge issue, then I would have to recommend keeping the Reporting Services section installed with the rest of the database installation on your Data server.

The server components of SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services include the Report Server and the Report Server Database. The Report Server processes and renders reports, and handles scheduled events and report delivery. The Report Server Database stores report definitions, report metadata, subscription information, and so on. Each Report Server requires either a local or remote connection to a Report Server Database. To use any of these components, each computer on which the Report Server and the Report Server Database are installed must have a valid SQL Server 2000 license.
You could install SQL Server Express on the application server.
It's free, and there's an edition which comes with Reporting Services.
In comparison with the "real" editions, SQL Server Express Edition is limited concerning how much CPU and RAM it can use, but it will probably be fast enough to run your reports.
blatantly incorrect. You do not need a SQL Server license to use SQL Server Reporting Services, you can use SQL Server Express edition. I've use SQL Server Express Edition in addition to linked servers-- to query stuff on -ANY- database server. And it works great.
SSRS is a great platform, I Just hate it when people run around saying that you NEED a license to use it. I'll bet that guy works for Oracle corp!
You do have an alternative. You can embed reports directly into your code projects in .Net. In this case the report runs through the Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms and Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms namespaces, ReportViewer object. Each report will have a ".rdlc" extension instead of ".rdl", though the two files types are actually equivalent. There is an ASP.Net version of the ReportViewer that allows you to integrate these reports into your website. You just need to drag the ReportViewer control from the toolbox into your website to configure it. For more information, see the MSDN overview of ReportViewer Controls.
If you dont want to use a whole license you can always use reportviewer. Just so I dont put too much answer out here, the big site for this is gotreportviewer.com.
The reportviewer control does the work of the reporting services server when it comes to the generation of reports. RDL files are like xml files and dont do much until they are interpreted. If you embed the reportviewer in your application on the web the work will be done on the user side. It is simialar to microsofts xps format, it has to be interpreted.
If you don't want to create an application for your reports the new version of sql2008 with advanced controls allows you to install a free version of reporting services. It doesnt have all of the goodies but it works for simple deployments.
