Implementing a web form into an existing MVC project
I'm attempting to add a web form .aspx page to an existing MVC project. Here is why: WebForms support a Report Viewer control that enables access to remote reporting services. I have a SSRS report server that I'd like to view reports from within my Umbraco MVC application. I have the information I need to setup the WebForm page and configure it to display my reports.
This is the problem:
Umbraco will not route to my new "/ReportViewer.aspx" page, likely because it is not an Umbraco template. Umbraco templates typically inherit from Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage in a MVC project, or Umbraco.Web.WebForms.UmbracoTemplatePage in a WebForms project. If I create a new template, I have no way of routing it to my ASPX page. If I rename the template to end with .ASPX, Umbraco encounters some sort of internal error and displays a blank page.
How can I access a .ASPX WebForm from an Umbraco template, or is there a way to bypass the Umbraco routing methods to directly access this page?

The following video was helpful for understanding Umbraco's routing between webforms and MVC:

I'll update the topic as more information is uncovered.
