That works if you're creating the layout and can decide what it looks like, Shamil. When you're at the mercy of a client's desires, you may not be able to do that. Standardizing layouts sort of pre-supposes that the layouts will be straightforward. Our clients, at least, have a very different opinion on that.

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] VS2008: Report events Hi Gustav, Yes, they are identical - and the question is - why you do not consider using built-in report designer of VS (the one use RDL)? - I mean are you going to "sacrifice" your time and money, and use some third-party reporting solution with VS, or you maybe better standardize your reports' layouts (if needed) to fit VS Report Designer, and then you will joyfully (and free out of VS box) use unlimited power of different deployment scenarios VS reporting supplies you with? Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Monday, September 22, 2008 4:34 PM To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] VS2008: Report events Hi Robert But the designer of SSRS and the report designer of VS are pretty much identical, both produce reports in XML format according to RDL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_Server_Reporting_Services /gustav >>> robert at webedb.com 22-09-2008 13:50 >>> Since I have never used the native report designer, I probably do not know what I am missing. :-) I have had no problem doing the data manipulation in stored procedures and doing the reporting in SSRS.
