Visual Studio reporting

Dave_Cintron · 2008-10-26

Having stayed for the extended NAV 2009 training after Directions, today I went to Barnes and Noble looking for a good book on Visual Studio reporting. Finding only a single foreboding tome on VS2008 I turn to the reporting section only to read that "Visual Studio 2008 has an embedded version of Crystal reports". Again, looking for something more didactic than the meager 10 pages dedicated to this subject in this 800 page volume, I peruse two books on Crystal reports, but the screenshots seem to be too different from VS to be sufficiently revelatory for my interests.

Can anyone recommend a good book to study on VS reporting?

You're looking for books on SQL Server Reporting Services, which uses a Visual Studio designer. This designer is installed automatically when you install SQL Server.

One book that I found very helpful is SQL Server Reporting Services Step By Step, by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting (ISBN-13: 978-0-7356-2250-0). You should be able to find it at B&N, otherwise on Amazon. There are plenty of other books on SSRS.
