Reportviewer and report are in different projects in the same solution. How do I attach the report to the viewer

Question

I have a forms application and it has a reportviewer in it. In the same solution, but different project, I have a report (rdl). I would like to use the report in the different project as the report displayed to the reportviewer. This is opposed to using a report that is deployed to a server.

I originally had this report deployed to a local reporting server. I was using that deployment to display to the reportviewer. However, I would like to use a local one, so that I can upload this to a Mercurial repository with the db, report and form all included.

Set your report's Copy to Output Directory property to Copy Always then add its path to your ReportViewer:

this.reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "yourReportFileName.rdlc";
