Download: Sample Code for ReportViewer

Try out some sample code that shows how to use the new ReportViewer controls to design and embed custom reports in your WinForms and WebForms projects.

.NET developers commonly add data-reporting features to smart-client and Web-based projects. VS 2005's new ReportViewer control and its built-in Report Designer enable smart-client and Web page designers to lay out, format, embed, export, and print interactive reports without running a SQL Server Report Server.

Don't let the scarcity of documentation for the Report Designer and ReportViewer combination dissuade you from considering this useful new control for integrating tabular and crosstab reports, as well as charts and graphs, in your .NET 2.0 WinForms and WebForms projects.
