Wanted: Good Book for SQL Reporting Services

Question

Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently trying to incorporate reports in my windows based and web based applications using Microsoft Visual Studio's report writing component. My question is does anyone know of any real good books, tutorials, or articles that deal with constructing professsional looking reports that give users meaningful information, reports that are visually appealing, with features that allow the user to look at the data in the report in various ways.

 

Thanks for any help. Ron

Answer 1

You can look at ReportingServices docs on MSDN, there are tutorials, samples and more on there:

There are also some books on Reporting Services 2008 that you can purchase:

Applied Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services by Teo Lachev

Pro SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services by Rodney Landrum, Shawn McGehee, and Walter J. Voytek II

 

 

Hope this helps.
