MS SQL 2005 RS

What would I gain for the SQL Reporting Services if I purchased the Visual Studio 2005 Pro or higher? Does it give me any extra tools or anything for the Reporting Services for SQL 2005?

Visual Studio 2005, Standard or higher, includes ReportViewer controls. There is a Windows Forms version and an ASP.NET version of the control. The controls can be embedded in your application and they can either display reports that are hosted on a Report Server, or they can process and render reports locally, i.e., without needing a Report Server. In local mode you can supply data using ADO.NET DataTables, or a collection of business objects.

But VS 2005 Std+ does not give me any extra functions or anything that the Reporting VS that comes with SQL 2005... is that correct?

Reporting VS that comes with SQL 2005 does not have C# or VB projects, or the corresponding Report Designer. The Report Designer included in SQL 2005 only creates RDLs that can be published to a Report Server. It doesn't create RDLCs (for local processing.)
