Question

Exactly same as the title of my question,

What is the best way to use MicrosoftReportView control in ASP.NET MVC framework?

I need to use report viewer control in asp.net mvc application, but I am so confused that how to use that control in mvc framework without violation of mvc pattern.

Thanks in advance.

You can mix both WebForms and MVC pages in the same application, so you may want to just develop a single WebForms page for the one that requires the ReportView. Hanselman describes a similar scenario on his blog. If you need it in an MVC page, you may want to look the following for hints on how to do so. I have no idea if this particular control will work or not, since I haven't tried this.
