SSRS subscription functionality in an .asp webpage.
Hi, We currently let users log into the reporting server box and they then access their individual reports via their Windows User. This has become cumbersome. We want to create a web that they log into and access all their individual reports. Seems possible. However they must still have the subscriber functionality they have at present. Is this possible? Or can I present the page they already get in SSRS in an <IFRAME>? Any help would be very greatfully received.

I let Reporting Services do as much of the work as possible rather than programming the web service API at a lower level. You can duplicate most any of the Report Manager capabilities using web service calls but it's a lot of duplicate effort. My preference would be to surface Report Manager in a frame or web part. You may want to take a look at the Report List View web part for SharePoint which does this and then emulate its behavior for your web forms application.Paul Turley, MVP, www.SQLServerBIBlog.com *Please vote if helpful*

Hi harvo09, The modular architecture of Reporting Services is designed for extensibility. The delivery extension is one of the Reporting Services extensions, it provide delivery API which is fully integrated with the .NET Framework architecture, enabling a wide variety of delivery mechanisms to be used when sending report notifications to users. For more information, please refer to: Implementing a Delivery Extension. By the way, here is a good article about Using CreateSubscription and the Reporting Service API, please see: http://odetocode.com/articles/114.aspx Thanks, Bin Long

Thanks Paul, I had the same Idea. Use an Iframe. Does this mean Impersonating a specific SSRS user in my Web App and then building a dynamic URL based on what I want them to see (which report folders etc) and then redirect? Or can this be done in a tidier fashion in the C# using existing classes? Thanks for any response.
