rendering to browser instead to file

Did anyone have rendered a report in excel format directly to browser
instead to a file? I tried this code below wich works fine for pdf
rendering:
result = rs.Render("/MyReports/SVREL00104", "Excel", Nothing, _
Nothing, params, Nothing, _
Nothing, encoding, mime, history, warnings, streamsId)
Page.Response.ClearContent()
Page.Response.ClearHeaders()
Page.Response.ContentType = mime
Page.Response.BinaryWrite(result)
Page.Response.Flush()
Page.Response.Close()
This code should load the excel into the web browser window, but I'm getting
this errors:
1. A message box saying: The Microsoft Excel can not access the file:
'http://localhost/MyReports/test.aspx'.
2. An input box asking for an alternate name for 'Titulos_de_Impressao'
(Print Title) because this is already an internal name.
Any ideas?

this will work:
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=\"MyReport.xls\"");
Response.BinaryWrite(result);
Response.End();
It works for PDF as well. There may be other ways, but this worked for us
so we stuck with it.

dialog boxes. In fact I am 'translating' all my systems' reports from
Crystal Reports to Reporting Services. The problem is my clients are already
using my systems with this export option to excel, without needing to save
any file. If I barelly whisper that they will need to take more clicks to do
something that is already working well, I will be exterminated.
However, I think the approach i will adopt is save a file to disk then use
this code:
Page.Response.ClearContent()
Page.Response.ClearHeaders()
Page.Response.ContentType = mime
Page.Response.WriteFile(savedFile)
Page.Response.Flush()
Page.Response.Close()
This approach works fine without any dialog boxes. The problem is at my
clients using web farms with load balance. I am afraid of exceptions, like
file not found.
Any other ideas, let me know, please.

Rendering report

I request a report from a web service to be rendered in html 4.0 format.
In the request i also set this parameter:
<DeviceInfo><HTMLFragment>true</HTMLFragment>
The rendering is ok, but the problem is that the images in the report are
not displaied.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

OSVALDO COLITTIOsvaldo,
With SOAP you need to download the images explicitly. The most flexible
approach I could have come up with that works accross XP and Windows 2003 is
explained in chapter 11 of my book. It involves writing an ASP.NET-based
image handler page and setting StreamRoot to it. If you don't feel like
buying my book, you can download the source code from the publisher website.

Hope this helps.
