VS2010 ReportViewer keeps loading with Windows Azure Reporting Service

Question

With VS2010 I have started a fresh Azure project with one MVC2 webrole that has only one Asp.Net webform.

Problem

I'm running into a problem that my ReportViewer keeps loading and I can't get it working properly with version 10.0? Version 9.0 is working like a charm, but I can't find the differences between these two.

Internet Explorer keeps blinking, but with Chrome's 'inspector' I can see that the following error occurs:

<h2> Report Viewer Configuration Error </h2><p>The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.web/httpHandlers section of the web.config file, or add <add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.webServer/handlers section for Internet Information Services 7 or later.</p>

What I did so far

I drag and drop (as adviced on multiple sites) just one ScriptManager and ReportViewer.
The project references are created automatically and the web.config's assemblies looks OK.

    <add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A" />
    <add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A" />

The next step I do is add the handler to the web.config:

<system.web>
   <httpHandlers>
      <add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" 
      type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, 
      Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, 
      Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false" 
      />
   </httpHandlers>
</system.web>

<system.webServer>
  <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
  <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />

  <!-- added handler for reporting -->
  <handlers>
    <add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>

After that I set the reporting properties within <script runat="server"></script> so that I can debug easily.

My webform

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Report.aspx.cs" Inherits="MvcWebRole1.Reports.Report" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
    Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>

            ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri("https://XXXX.reporting.windows.net/ReportServer");
            ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/MyReport.rdl";
            ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new Credentials();
        }

        public class Credentials : IReportServerConnection
        {
            public IEnumerable<System.Net.Cookie> Cookies { get { return null; } }
            public Uri ReportServerUrl { get { return new Uri("https://XXXX.reporting.windows.net/ReportServer"); } }
            public int Timeout { get { return 60000; } }

            public bool GetFormsCredentials(out System.Net.Cookie authCookie, out string userName, out string password, out string authority)
            {
                authCookie = null;
                userName = "MyUserName";
                password = "MyPassword";
                authority = "XXXX.reporting.windows.net";
                return true;
            }
            public System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser { get { return null; } }
            public System.Net.ICredentials NetworkCredentials { get { return null; } }
        }

    </script>
    <div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        <rsweb:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server">
        </rsweb:ReportViewer>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

What's next?

Does anyone has any idea how I can resolve this issue!?

So, so far:

Reporting Version 10.0
Web.config looks OK for assemblies and handlers as well
I tried visual studio debugger
I tried IIS Express
I tried an Windows Azure project (with emulator)

Have you tried adding the httpHandler in system.web?

<system.web>
   <httpHandlers>
      <add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" 
      type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, 
      Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, 
      Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false" 
      />
   </httpHandlers>
</system.web>
