asp.net mvc - Would the MSFT Report Viewer (rdlc) Work with MVC

Question

I am interested in learning MVC, and have experimented with a couple of the sample apps. As a project, I'd like to move part or all of my own office app to MVC. An important part of this app, and of ALL of my apps for customers, is the printing of invoices, purchase orders, inventory lists and so forth. In fact, one of their main criteria for judging what we do is the appearance of these documents and their incorporation into the app in a practical, intuitive way.

It's impossible for me to get by without a report writer. The MSFT report viewer used to produce rdlc reports has been sufficient, and even comes up better than the competition in a couple of key areas.

Does this control work with an ASP.NET MVC application?

Answer 1

"ASP.NET ViewState has been disabled. The Report Viewer control requires that ViewState be enabled." if you run the report viewer from a view.

But you can run a webforms page in the same project. Ugly, but it works.
