sql server reporting services:

Not that I am aware of. You only option is to write a custom data extension.
OR, if you can expose it as a web service you can report off of a web
service.

Using 2005 Reporting Services to access data in custom business objects when report is hosted on server

I see that it is very easy to bind a 2005 Reporting Services report to
custom business objects when using the ReportViewer control and Local
Processing mode.

I would prefer to host these reports on a Report Server to have the benefit
of scheduling, security, etc.

The MSFT documentation mentions that there is no built in support for using
custom business objects as data sources for reports hosted on the Report
Server.

Has anyone found a solution for this other than having to build a custom
data provider? Are there any 3rd party or open source solutions already
available for this?

Any other hints or ideas?
