WPF - view and RDLC report file

Question

I have an extensive WPF application and I now want to incorporate some reports. I understand how to create the reports with RDLC but what about viewing them? Ideally, I'd like to use the DocumentViewer but I don't think that's one of the supported file types. Some articles have suggested using the ReportViewer, but I do not have that as a control in my IDE (VS Pro 2008).

Is there a way to "convert" RDLC to XPS and then use the DocumentViewer or what is the best way for a WPF application to view an RDLC report?

The MicrosoftReportViewer control is a Windows Forms control. You can use the WindowsFormsHost control to "host" the report viewer control in WPF, as documented here.

I was hoping to get a different answer because I don't want to go down that road, but I thank you nonetheless. – Unknown Coder Dec 14 '09 at 22:02

Take a look at the Open-Source .NET WPF Reporting Engine on codeplex
