Can someone explain me about SQL Server Reporting Service and using it in ASP.net?
Typically I design my reports by Crystal Report, assign the data source to crystal report an produce my report.
What is the benefits of using SQL Server Reporting Service and how to use it?
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a competitor to Crystal Reports. It’s a way of defining reports, just like Crystal Reports, and an engine for running those reports.
SSRS itself is a website that hosts these reports and can serve them to users through a web interface, or can schedule them for delivery over e-mail.
As a programmer, I prefer SSRS over Crystal due, among many other things, to the fact that it’s more stable and uses an XML-based report file format, unlike Crystal’s old binary format. That means that certain design tasks can be done simply by editing XML if it comes down to it.
