Accessing reports from a ASP.NET 2.0 web site

Though I would beleive it to not be an issue I thought I would bounce this
off the group.

We are looking at deploying a web site that will be created under 2.0
Framework. Resources such as SQL Server Reporting Services and SMS are still
under the 1.1 Framework. I would think that this wouldn't be an issue since
the connections established between these resrouces will be outside the
bounds of the different frameworks.

Is there a problem that I'm no seeing with this deployment picture?

Let me make sure this is clear.

The relationship that I am facing would have a 2.0 Framework web server
sitting on one web server, 1.1 framework on the SMS and SQL Server Reporting
Services server.

I'm sure its workable. RS exposes a web service and ASP.NET2 certainly
has ways of consuming a web service although I'm not sure if the
ASP.NET viewer control can talk to the old RS.

If its a public web site then you better hope that your visitors are
using Internet Explorer. RS is almost useless in FireFox. I don't know
about other non IE browsers. At least that's my experience, even with
2005. I'm curious to hear if anyone is having better luck than me.

This is inside our network and yes, all IE browsers. I didn't think it would
be a problem but who ever knows what's going to bite ya.
Thanks for the response.
