I found that there is reporting service bundle with SQLSever 2005 express.
Can VS2005 express can use the reporting service in SQLSever 2005 express?
 
I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I'm pretty sure you won't see
Reporting Services in sql 2005 express. What you will see are
reporting controls for VS2005 that you can embed into applications for
reporting purposes.
 
In the list, I see there as reproting service in standard version, but
there are report wizard & reprot controls in Express version.
What are report wizard and reprot controls?
 
The report controls we will be able to embed into an application - and
they will display reports from RDL without needing a Report Server.

The Report Server has additional features (report subscriptions,
report snapshots, etc.), but with the controls you'll at least be able
to create and view stand alone reports - and use them against a SQL
Express instance.
 
How can I try the report controls ?
I use VS2005 Express and Sql 2005 Express. I can find these controls in the
tools box.
 
The controls are not there yet - they are expected to arrive in the
next round of beta versions .... hopefully :)
