dotnet windows forms designtime: Is this a good solution for the reports of a desktop application using SQL
Server ?

Is for easy deployment of any simple application ?

Please I need to decide for a report designer for windows forms applications
using VS.NET, I'm not satisfied with CristalReports.

Is this SQL 2000 RS the right track ?

Is SQL 2000 RS easy to integrated with a win form and datasets ?

Thanks

Hi,

As for now, RS is only server side, meaning that report is processed on the
RS server (which could be the desktop computer) and on the client you only
show the report either in IE or some other client (Acrobat reader for
example).
About installation: you'll need to install the RS somewhere - that makes
deployment not *that* easy.

So, you might take a look at client side report engine, such as XtraReports
from www.devexpress.com.
