section, and add one button control named buttonOK in the button properties window. Then set the text

property for the button to OK in the button properties window. When you’re done, the form should look

You now need to add a reference to the SSRS 2012 Web service to your project. You do this by

selecting Project ➤ Add Service Reference or by right clicking the Service References in the Solution

the bottom of the form. On this next form, click the Add Web Reference button. From here, enter the

Substitute the name of your server for localhost, if need be. Then click the Go button, which is the

right arrow icon. You’ll see a dialog box similar to Figure 9-8.
