ReportViewer Full Trust Required?

Microsoft recommends to Hosting sites that they configure for MEDIUM Trust.

It appears that the ReportViewer control, that is its supporting libraries,
require FULL trust.

So:

1) DOES ReportViewer require Full Trust as my Hosting site insists. (Refuses
to load it in addition because of this Full Trust requirement).

2) Is there any kind of workaroud - or am I simply out of luck and cannot
use the ReportViewer control.

Thanks,
Dan

The reportviewer uses native/com dll's. These require Full Trust. I
don't know a workaround for that except raising the trust.

There are a few "fully managed" solutions out there though, but these
would require you to rewrite the reports.

DevExpress has one (http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/XtraReports/)
So has DataDynamics
