Hi,
Is it possible to use SQL 2005 report service in VB.net 2003? I cannot find
SQL 2005 report viewer component in VS 2003.


Thanks

Luke

Hello luke,

You might be a bit confused. The Report Service is a Web Service and yes,
that can be used by the VB.NET 2003 -- or anything else. The Report Viewer
is a WinForm/WebForm control that ships with Visual Studio 2005 SKUs. The
Report Viewer doesn't required the Report Service per se.

Thanks,

Hello luke,

It's pretty simple. The trick is to call the Render method on the service.
Keep in mind that it can return an array of streamIDs that you'll probably
want to call on RenderStream for.

Hi Kent,

I wonder how to triggle the report from VB.net or C#. I have built a simple
report from sql 2005 but don't know how to bring it up from the code.

Thanks,

Luke

Thanks Kent,

Is there any samples available to use VS2003 to pass parameter and use the
SQL 2005 report service?

Thanks,

Luke
