Reporting issues and VS 2008 Standard capabilities?

[Lothar Behrens]

Hi,

what can I do with visual studio 2008 standard regarding reports and
what can I not do?

When do I need a SQL Server 2008 developer license?

I want to buy VS 2008 Std when I could create full client side
business applications including client side
reporting.

Any hints?

Thanks

Lothar

Visual Studio can design client-side report definitions (".rdlc"). You
can use the ReportViewer control to display server-side reports (".rdl")
that have already been designed in an existing Sql Server, or to diaplay
client-side reports whose data are provided by your own program.

You need a Sql server license if you want to use Business Intelligence
Development Studio to design server-side reports (".rdl").
