Integrating Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Reporting Services 2008


There are only 6 main steps to achieve this task assuming you already have an instance of SQL Server Reporting Services and Sharepoint 2010.
I had created this starting from a clean installation of SQL Reporting Services so this guide will discuss the steps on configuring your SQL Reporting Services 2008 for integration with Sharepoint 2010.
Step 1 : Configuring SQL Reporting Services – Web Service URL.
Simply go to Reporting Services Configuration Manager and choose Web Service URL and populate the following needed information. The fields are named properly so I guess theres no need for further explanation.  What this does is that it configures the IIS for you depending on what Virtual Directory names you had declared
Step 2 : Configuring SQL Reporting Services – Create a Report Database
Same here fields need no further explanation except for one which is Native Mode and Sharepoint Integrated mode which I will explain below.
Choose create a database or if you already have one choose an exisiting, for this example we will create a new one
Connect to the database where you want your Report Data to be stored
Give it a Name and a Report Server Mode.
With Sharepoint Integrated Mode the report rdl’s are stored on SharePoint and not in the Report Database.  For this instance we will use the Sharepoint Integrated Mode
Specify the credentials that the report server will use to connect to the database.
Review your configuration.
Then wait while its configured.
Step 3 : Configuring SQL Reporting Services – Create a Report Manager URL
What this does is that it configures the IIS for you depending on what Virtual Directory names you had declared.
That’s it at this point your report server is configured for Sharepoint Integration 2010
Step 4 : Sharepoint Integration Configuration – Reporting Services Integration.
Simply go to SharePoint 2010 Central Administration then General Application Settings then choose Reporting Services Integration.
Now populate the fields using the Web Service URL you had configured a while ago on Step 2 of this guide.
Once done you will see the Activation State message.
Step 5 : Sharepoint Integration Configuration – Add a Report Server to the Integration
Now add the report server by putting the Server Name and the Server instance.
At this point its all done, all you have to do now is try it out
Step 6 : Verify by checking the server and uploading a report
To verify if its now integrated, go to Site Settings on your Sharepoint Site then Site Collection Features.
Check if the Report Server Integration Feature is Active if not just click activate
Now try to use the SQL Server Reporting Services Webpart
Or you can also upload a report from a library.

Custom Form Base Login Web Part With Sharepoint 2010

In my  Last Post , I talked about creating a Form based authentication web application with Active Directory LDAP. After implementing that you have surely noticed that, when you try to sign in after creating a site collection from FBA web application, you get the following sign in page: Surely, it does not look pretty at all. So, you might want to change this default login page. In order to do this, first let us create an empty SharePoint project in Visual Studio 2010. After that, add an application page by right click-selecting “Add New Item” and you will get like the following window in Solution Explorer: Notice that, when you add any application page to your project, Visual Studio automatically creates a Layouts  folder. To keep things simple enough for your understanding, you may keep your application page under a folder where you might name it as same as your project like the figure above. Now, add a reference for  Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel...
