Hello,
Are there any examples or tutorials of dynamically binding data to a report? We are hosting the reports on a Web API and accessing them via an MVC app. For security reasons we do not want to use the Javascript-based ReportViewer on the MVC side to directly call the report on the API. Instead we would like to get an instance of that report, serialize it, and then dynamically bind the data to the report. How would we achieve this?

Hi Brett,
The Html5 Report Viewer is client-side widget served by a running Reporting REST service. Thus all of the described operations (report building and data assigning) must happen on the server where the service is operating.
For the purpose you can use a custom report resolver in the service's CreateReportResolver method and access the user preferences previously saved by your custom controller's action in a storage of choice. More details how the HTML5 Report Viewer and Reporting REST service work, and how to use the custom resolver are available in this forum thread.
Let us know if you need any further help.
