Need an Expert Advice

I am using VS 2003 and trying to add a web reference reportservices2005.asmx on windows 2003 server.

I am able to do the same thing in win XP machines and works perfectly fine. now facing the problem with windows 2003 server.

i need to run or render the reports(RS2005 version) from VS 2003.

Pleeeeeease help.

Not sure why you're encountering this problem on W2K3. You can create your solution on the XP machine and then just copy it over to the 2K3 box.

Hope that helps,

Thks Lukasz.

I found some info on that, on windows 2003 server it uses IIS6.0, iis 6.0 has it own processing mode it does not use aspnet_wp.exe process when you run or render a report.

it ggives an error saying you cannot run two versions in one single process mode.

for it we need to change the process mode to run www using iis 5.0 isolation mode. that way we can run multiple versions of .net in one process mode. thats what happens on xp based machines.

Oh, that's an entirely different problem. You cannot run two version of .Net Framework in the same process space. In W2K3, you can create a new application pool for the report server service and then assign it to the report server virtual directory. You can do this in the Reporting Services configuration tool. When you use this tool, the application pool will be setup they way you need it for RS.

Let me know if that doesn't solve the problem.

Lukasz, i noticed a problem with that, it is not even allowing me to add a webreference from my VS 2003 project to add a reportingservice2005.asmx

this problem is only happening on windows 2003 server and it gives me the above message and logs an error under events (application log)

if i am creating or trying to add a webreference on a win xp machine, it does'nt create that problem for me.

only on w2003 server this is happening. what options do i have fro vs 2003 calling a webservice render method reportexecution2005.asmx or reportingservice2005.asmx

Thanks Lukasz.
