Beginning SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Part 2

A good primer I ran across about SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

In Part 1 of this article, we looked at the basics of SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS). We built one report with the Report Wizard, and one report using the Report Designer. In Part 2, we are going to look in more depth at the features that you can use everyday as an SSRS developer.

We will investigate:

  • Use of expressions that allow you to dynamically control nearly every aspect of reporting from control properties to data binding
  • Common functions that allow run calculations and manipulate data within the report itself
  • Custom code, used to build your own library of functions within the report.

We’ll also set up a Matrix control and create a sub-report. Lastly, we will add some flair to the report by adding dynamic drills and sorting.
