SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 is the latest version of the
reporting technology from Microsoft, providing the means to design,
author, render, and deploy business reports to users, customers, and
employees, via the web or the company intranet. The reporting engine
is built in to the SQL Server 2005 database (and provided as a free
add-on with SQL Server 2000) and the report manager is integrated
with Visual Studio 2003, providing an effective and familiar
environment for all SQL Server and. NET developers. The book was
written in parallel with a migration project, moving some 200
professional healthcare reports from various reporting architectures
to SQL Server Reporting Services, and so is steeped in the day-to-day
challenges, discoveries, and successes involved in delivering a
successful reporting solution with this technology. In this book, you
will find step-by-step guides, best practices, and real code examples
that cover all of the common Reporting Services tasks.
