If you have a Web Application
you have to modify the properties for the .rpt files:
- Change Build Action to "Content" ("Embedded Resource" by default).
- Change Copy to Output to "Copy always" ("Do not copy" by default).
If you don't want to change properties for each file, there's an easy way to default build action for non-default file-types.
If you have a Web Site
you have to flag "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable" inside "Publish WebSite" menu
In both Web Application and Web Site
you can, instead of doing previous steps
- Not publish the report using the publish option, just copy them manually in publish folder.
and you must
- Check if the reports exist and are accessible by the application (permissions, filepath,)
Good luck!
