Problem with PerpetuumSoft ReportViewer 2008 for Silverlight

Question

First, I have filed for support from PerpetuumSoft. They have not been helpful.

I have been able to create a new project and get the reportviewer to load our reports with no problems.

But, when I try to add the report viewer to an existing silverlight + ria services app. I get this:

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The remote server returned an error: NotFound. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: NotFound. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: NotFound. at System.Net.Browser.BrowserHttpWebRequest.InternalEndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.Browser.BrowserHttpWebRequest.<>c_DisplayClass5.b_4(Object sendState) at System.Net.Browser.AsyncHelper.<>c_DisplayClass4.b_1(Object sendState) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Browser.AsyncHelper.BeginOnUI(SendOrPostCallback beginMethod, Object state) at System.Net.Browser.BrowserHttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelAsyncRequest.CompleteGetResponse(IAsyncResult result) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceModel.AsyncResult.End[TAsyncResult](IAsyncResult result) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel.EndCall(String action, Object[] outs, IAsyncResult result) at System.ServiceModel.ClientBase1.ChannelBase1.EndInvoke(String methodName, Object[] args, IAsyncResult result) at PerpetuumSoft.ReportingServices.Viewer.Client.ReportService.ReportServiceClient.ReportServiceClientChannel.EndListExportsFormats(ExceptionDetailBase& ReportError, IAsyncResult result) at PerpetuumSoft.ReportingServices.Viewer.Client.ReportService.ReportServiceClient.PerpetuumSoft.ReportingServices.Viewer.Client.ReportService.IReportService.EndListExportsFormats(ExceptionDetailBase& ReportError, IAsyncResult result) at PerpetuumSoft.ReportingServices.Viewer.Client.ReportService.ReportServiceClient.OnEndListExportsFormats(IAsyncResult result) at System.ServiceModel.ClientBase`1.OnAsyncCallCompleted(IAsyncResult result)

Nothing works, no matter what. I have verified again and again the urls for the WCF report service and SQL reporting services.

I know this isn't a lot to go on, but are there any ideas?

Did you resolve this? I am having the same issue with this product. — Myles J
Actually I have now resolved it by following the advice in the answer below. I had incorrectly specified the wrong assembly name in the web.config. — Myles J

Most probably this issue appears because of wrong type name of Service in

<PerpetuumSoftServices> section of web.config file.
<Service Type="<reportservice type name with namespace>, <assembly name>">

, where

<assembly name> you may find in Application properties,
<reportservice type name with namespace> is namespace + class name from ReportService.svc.cs file.

For example:

<Service Type="SilverlightApplication.Web.ReportService, SilverlightApplication.Web">
