MvcReportViewer HTML Helper

Why?

SQL Server Reporting Services is rich and popular reporting solution that you have for free with SQL Server. It is widely used in the industry: from small family businesses running on SQL Server 2008/2012 express to huge corporations with SQL Server clusters.

There is one issue with the solution. Microsoft has not release SSRS viewer for ASP.NET MVC yet. That is why people usually mixing modern ASP.NET MVC enterprise applications with ASP.NET Web Forms pages to view report.

The project solves this issue. We provided a simple ASP.NET Web Forms report viewer and ASP.NET MVC HTML helpers show it inside an iframe tag.
