Dear Sir

I am developing an asp.net mvc5 application with ssrs reports in a development machine with configuration windows 8.1 (x86) along with sql server 2012. I want to publish my site in a production machine of windows server 2012/2008 x64. Does my application run?

Hi Usually the dll does not cause an issue whether it is 32bit or 64 bit as long as there is .NET framework installed in it . More over SSRS is independent of the hardware . It should work in both 32/64 bit environment . However you may complile the project by setting the target platform as any CPU to avoid any future migration problems. By way of this it will run as 64-bit on a 64-bit machine and 32-bit on a 32-bit machine . Thanks Priyan If you found this useful Please Accept this as Answer .
