Help with RS Report Viewer in .Net 1.1 (Sortable Columns)

Currently, we are using .net 1.1 and SQL 2005. To integrate RS without having to open new browser windows or launch the report manager, we are using the ReporService.asmx service to render the reports. One thing that we are having a difficult time with is allowing columns to be sortable. In report manager, we have sortable columns sorting without a problem, but once the page is rendered within our product using the service, it is rendered without the sortable columns.

While going through the different flags within the service I found that there is a flag for Javascript (which is what I'm assuming I need) but it doesn't change the report when I enable it. I am wondering if there is a combonation of flags that need to be set to allow the sorting to work or if it just not possible to do sorting when rendering the HTML sent from the service. Hopefully this is enough infomation to lead to some answers with this. Thanks.

I don't think it's necessarily a javascript issue -- although it might be if you are using ajaxy stuff since there are apparently issues there.

What's your doctype in your page?

The 2000 version of the SSRS Web service (ReportService.asmx) doesn't support interactive features. The Report Manager uses URL access for report rendering which supports interactive features. The 2005 web service supports interactive features but you need to pass in the identifier of the sortable item wchich you don't know at design time. To make the long story short, I don't know of a hack to sort via the web service. My recommendation will be to upgrade to ASP.NET 2.0 and use the ASP.NET report viewer which supports all interactive features.
