Which version? If version 6.5 or earlier, there's no .NET SDK for displaying it over the web, only COM and Java.

If version XI Release 2, then you can use the ReportEngine .NET (RE.NET) SDK.

However, both would require publishing the rep to an Enterprise system - either BusinessObjects InfoView 6.5 if 6.5 or BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 if on XI Release 2.

SDK documents are found at http://diamond.businessobjects.com/developer/library

It may be that you only have the rep file, i.e., it's from the BusinessObjects 6.5 client or BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence XI Release 2 client. In that case, you can always export the rep to HTML format and deploy that as static content to IIS.
