SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Custom Controls

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 is the latest version of the reporting technology from Microsoft, providing the means to design, author, render and deploy business reports to users, customers and employees, via the web or the company intranet. It provides the ability to render to many formats, including PDF, HTML, excel, and so on. The reporting engine is built in to the SQL Server 2005 database (and provided as a free add-on with SQL Server 2000) and the report manager is integrated with Visual Studio, providing an effective and familiar environment for all SQL Server and .NET developers. SSRS provides a limited set of native controls (such as tables, images and basic charts) that provide basic reporting functionality. SSRS 2005 version has added an extended reporting feature called the Custom Report Item for the development of custom controls. This enables the enterprise developer or other 3rd software developers to extend the functionality and richness of Reporting Services reports (for example, using complex chart types, advanced data manipulation, built in financial and statistical analysis formulas, etc). So, if you are a reporting services user but are dissatisfied with the limited controls available to you, then this is the book you need. It provides everything you need to know to build effective custom SSRS controls. It covers popular basic image controls (including 'hot' regions, clickable sections etc) that any RS user may consider developing, and it also ramps up to developing complex data-driven controls (e.g. using spatial data) that will be of interest to enterprise developers. TOC:Understanding Report Definition Language (RDL).- Developing a Design Time control.- Developing a Run Time control.- Advanced Data Binding.- Converting Native Controls.
