Problems embedding a Report into Application

We have developed a report using Microsoft Power BI Desktop (optimized for Report Server) Version: 2.76.5678.1521 64-bit (January, 2020).

This report is hosted on Microsoft Power BI Report Server Version 15.0.1102.759 (January 2020).

We are attempting to embed this report in an MVC application writtedn in C# in Visual Studio 2017. We are using the following script:

<iframe style="width:100%; height:450px;" src="http://myserver.local/PBIReports/powerbi/Folder/My%20Report%20Name?rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

When we run the report in the application we get this message displayed:

X "This content cannot be displayed in a frame"

"To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame"

Any help on identifying what is wrong and solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you try embedding in Sharepoint site to see if you are
This is very simple,
From last 2 weeks, there is no response/reply from Microsoft employees. So, try to find other alternatives meanwhile. just a suggestion.

  We do not have Sharepoint to test it on. I found a similar issue here:
  
  https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/This-content-cannot-be-displayed-in-a-frame/td-p/942526
  
  Can this be a problem with the Power BI Report Server January 2020 update? Can I get verification? We have it in DEV and UAT and I am reluctant to migrate it to production with this issue. Here is the message we are getting:

    I went into the Advanced Properties of Power BI Report Server and set the "CustomHeadings" to:
    
    <CustomHeaders> <Header> <Name>X-Frame-Options</Name> <Pattern>(.+)((\/api)|(\/(mobilereport|report|powerbi|excel|pages)\/(.+)(rs:embed=true)))</Pattern> <Value>True</Value> </Header> </CustomHeaders>
    
    Now instead of the "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" message I get a blank screen. Any suggestions or advice on how to get this to work?
