reporting service network credentials

receiving the error:

"Property or indexer 'Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.IReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials' cannot be assigned to-- it is read only"

within this line:

reportviewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("someaccount", "somepassword");

When I hover the cursor on NetworkCredentials, it says: "Gets or sets the network credentials that are used for authentication with report server"..

what the heck is going on here?

thanks

in .NET core as well in .NET 5.0 replace "reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials" with "reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Username,Password,Domain);"

also you Should install "Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms" NuGet

add this class to the same namespace:

 public class CustomReportCredentials : IReportServerCredentials
 {
     private string _UserName;
     private string _PassWord;
     private string _DomainName;

 public CustomReportCredentials(string UserName, string PassWord, string DomainName)
     {
        _UserName = UserName;
        _PassWord = PassWord;
        _DomainName = DomainName;
     }

     public System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser
     { 
        get { return null; } 
     } 

     public ICredentials NetworkCredentials
     {
        get { return new NetworkCredential(_UserName, _PassWord, _DomainName); }
     }

      public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string user,
      out string password, out string authority)
      {
        authCookie = null;
        user = password = authority = null;
        return false;
     }
}

Then set your credentials like this:

IReportServerCredentials Creds = new CustomReportCredentials("Administrator", "password", "domain"); //to actual values
myReportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = Creds;

it is still read only, that ReportServerCredentials field is still read only, it has only getter but not a setter !

this.rpv.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials is not read-only. Read this post:
