SSRS Reports in IIS 7

Found out that when you add an SSRS 2005 / 2008 report using the Web Viewer control to a ASP.NET website running under IIS 7 and above that you need to add the ReportViewerWebControl.axd node to both the system.web and system.webServer sections of your web config. If you just add the ReportViewer control to your page, the error message will tell you to add a node into the system.web httpHandlers section. At this point, your report will display, but the page navigation and export controls are disabled.

Adding the node for the ReportViewerWebControl.axd to the system.webServer portion of enables the paging and export controls for your report.
