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.
