Packaging Business Intelligence Report project for deploymnet

Hi Guys,

I created my report project, now I build it and deploy it and it works fine.

In my web application project, I created an aspx page with reportViewer control and it works fine too. I publish my website for deployment and works fine. I created a web setup project and add my web application project to it and it works fine. It installs and create the virtual directory in wwwroot (Default WebSite) and it run the script on database too and create all tables and sp.

NowHow Do I deploy mey reports on the server as part of the installaton package. Can I do that or it has to be done manually by going to report server and create a new folder and add a DataSource and upload the *.rdl files...?

1 More thing, in my myReport.aspx page where I have the reportviewer control, I have the <ServerReport ReportServerUrl="http://localhost/reportserver/Intranet" Server Path="/MyReports/ProductsReports" />

Well I think this is hard coding as it might be different on the destination server where tha pllication is going to be deployed.

So is it correct way of doing it that in code behind in page load I set these values ( reportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = "..."; ) and I get the value from webconfig file. I have added the url in the web.config file and all my reports use that report server url.

Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance,

Regards,
Mehdi
