Are you talking about a database deployed to a local pc? If so the answer is yes, SSRS is an option for SQL Express as well.

There are tutorials all over the web for SSRS. I like it as a solution because the same reports can be leveraged from multiple apps, to include just a standard browser url.

hi Derek, tnx for reply!

since i just started with VS11 beta, im not sure about concept of sql express, i believe that now it's called "local db", is sql express and local db same thing or? if it is not, can i install reporting services to "local db"? or is it maybe better to just wait for final product and then go into it? :) how other forum members solved reporting problem, do they printout into word document? thanks!

Hi Kivito,

I use asp.net with Stimulsoft to 4 years.
Earlier this year I was testing the concept with version lightswitch.
Works very well, more information http://blog.stimulsoft.com/?p=567
Estudando Windows Phone 7 e LightSwitch, muito bom!!!

Express and local DB are different products and SSRS is only with express. I would think of LocalDB as a variant of SQL CE, when you start your application the localdb process starts up and is bound to the application process. where express is always running when the service is.

thanks for input guys, as i saw, beth massi posted article about localDB (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2012/04/19/working-with-sql-server-localdb-in-lightswitch-projects-in-visual-studio-11.aspx), but im not sure, can i install sqlexpress 2012 with advanced services on top of localDB without affecting lightswitch development?
