Remarks

To assign a remote document source to the DocumentViewer control, specify the following properties of the RemoteDocumentSource class.

1. The RemoteDocumentSource.AuthenticationType property.

   - to connect to a Report and Dashboard Server, set this property to “Windows“, “User“ or “Guest“;

   - to connect to a custom WCF report service, set this property to “None“.

The rendering of RemoteDocument objects is performed by a RemotePrintingSystem.
