This hands-on guide takes readers step by step through the design, development, and deployment of a variety of professional reports for Windows, Web, and Mobile clients. It is the most complete single source of information on this important new feature of Visual Studio 2005.

Written for all VS users writing any kind of report, Client-Side Reporting with VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 is the only book that tells the full story of client-side Reporting Services. Its real-world examples clearly and carefully teach how to use and exploit this powerful and incresingly popular technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book, October 29, 2007

This review is from: Client-Side Reporting with Visual Studio in C# (Paperback)

I like this book very much. The author explains the client-side reporting with Visual studio in C# in detail, especially step by step. The topics cover windows form, web form, windows service and web service, which are useful for developers to write the report easily.

Although this book says it covers version VS 2005 and VS 2008, I really hope the author can update this book using VS 2008 version and add some new features such as LINQ to generate the client-side reports easily. I will recommend this book to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Using MS ReportViewer, August 16, 2010

This review is from: Client-Side Reporting with Visual Studio in C# (Paperback)

The author clearly explains how to create client-side reports for Microsoft's ReportViewer control. He goes through a number of different types of reports which are useful examples that I was able to use as springboards for creating my own reports. Yes, the writing style is not "Western" but frankly, all I needed was a good resource not a literary book.

This review is from: Client-Side Reporting with Visual Studio in C# (Paperback)

I am new to Visual Studio reporting and I need allot of help. My employers want us to use Visual Basic insted of C# but I took a chance and purchased this book anyway with several others that I thought would be more to the point. I was very surprised to find that even though this book is written for C#, it is the only one that really covered what I needed. The writer's style is very clear and easy to understand and I was able to convert his C# code to the VB code that we are using. After reading the book, I able to make beautiful reports and keep my employers happy.

I had some problems converting over to Visual Studio 2010 from Visual Studio 2008 so I contacted Mr. Sayed by e-mail. He responded in under 24 hours and was kind enough to help me fix my problem.

This is the book for you if you want to learn about Visual Studio reporting whether you are using C# or Visual Basic.
