We have invoked ASP.NET pages to display Reporting Services or HTML reports, It's also really easy using the Reporting Services API, to redirect a client directly to a PDF that he can open in the explorer.

It would be possible, to directly consume the SSRS WebServices to avoid havingn to create another website to host the control.
