Missing ReportViewer WebControl

Hello:
I'm trying to integrate reports with my .NET 1.1 application (using VS2003).
I've installed SQL Server Reporting Services 05 Standard Edition, yet I do
not see the ReportViewer control in the normal installation folder - in
fact, the only folder installed under Samples is Databases, containing the
sample tutorial databases.
Trying to patch the installation didnt obviously reveal where the file would
be installed from.
Any thoughts?
ThanksI just found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8a166cac-758d-45c8-b637-dd7726e61367&displaylang=en
Which I *assume* contains my controls, but its not compatible with .NET 1.1.
So I'll rephrase my question :)
I have a .NET app with some forms that I'd like to provide direct links to
their Reporting Services counterparts in PDF format. I need to pass values
to the stored procedure parameters for each respective report, however. This
is the part I am unsure of.
I do not want the user to be prompted for values, because several of the
procedures contain values that the user will not know. Instead I was hoping
to pass these either within the report querystring, but I am not sure how to
do this. I thought the ReportViewer control would do the trick but it
appears it wont. I cannot convert the app to 2.0 because a significant
amount of time has already been invested in code and fixing compatibility
issues is not within our timeline.
Can anyone please provide me with a direction? Thank you.

the format in PDF. You pass it all the parameters. The other option is to
use URL integration. You could embed the IE web control and give it the
appropriate URL. The URL string can specify rendering format as well as the
parameters.

Webservice option? I've found a lot on basic stuff but thats about it.
