integrate report manager in an asp.net application

I thought I can probably find out how the report manager works and create a similar application so that I can define my own things in there.

Looks like there is no sample where I could get a lead. Now I have decided if I can include the report manager in a new aspx page in my application and disable the stuff which is not required by the user to look at it.

I can definitely include the report manager url in the Iframe but how do I disable the stuff from the report manager.

Please help, I am having real hard time.

Thanks in advance.

There is no way that I know of to customize report manager and include its functionality in your own app like you would a control.

Have you looked at the report viewer web control? If you need to integrate report viewing and report export capability in your asp.net application, it is very powerful. You could use this, along with the available Web services in reporting services to build your own version of the report manager in asp.net with most, if not all of the same functionality.
