RS Reports Application

Hello,
I am finally done installing the RS and started creating reports.
Thanks to many people in this group, i read a lot of info to figure
out stuff.
I have a new problem now.
My client doesnt not want a Web interface like what the RS provides.
infact they dont want anything to do with browser(paranoid folks)
They want some kind of installable application/dll which will have
forms in it take the inputs and send those to the RS and get the
reports in that application. May sound wierd but thats what they want.
Has anyone every done anything like that ? if yes can you please give
me some ideas how to go about it ?
Some kind of VB or C# app or sthg like that ?
Thanks
BofoNot sure if you will be able to wait or not, but Sql 2005 will contain
report controls that do just that. You can just drop the control on your C#
form and away you go. If you can't wait for that you will want to look into
using the emf renderer to get pages that you can then draw to the screen.
Of course doing it this way will not get you any interactivity in the
reports.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for , just use the report
viewer control that should be in your samples application(.C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\Samples\Applications\ReportViewer) Just open the solution vb or C#
and then build the project/sln and then and then add it to your toolbox by
locating the reportviewer dll from your bin folder of the report viewer
application.
The RV control takes report path and the report server url with few other
params/properties you can define.
Good luck.
