Client-Side Reporting with Visual Studio in C#

Sayed (.NET technologies, Centennial College) takes readers step by step through report authoring, using practical examples from real-world business cases, and explains how reports can be processed by various clients developed using Visual Studio. He focuses on the design of practical reporting projects using the Visual Studio IDE and on viewing the reports using the supplied ReportViewer control. Major emphasis is given to small details of report authoring, with less attention given to clients. About 60% of the book is written for a beginning-level reporting audience. Readers should be familiar with basics of the Visual Studio IDE, the C# programming language, and the .NET framework. An appendix provides a refresher on Visual Studio IDE. The readership for the book includes developers, business intelligence practitioners, and business analysts. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
