planned to get it out by the end of March but we found a couple of issues
very late that we felt that we really needed to address. Couple this with
the fact that we are also the team that delivered the February Community
Technology preview of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and this means we
had to push back a little. We have now feel confident that SP2 will be out
by mid-April. Thank you for your patience and support.

Good for you Brian. It's a hard choice and I'm glad I didn't have to
make it in this case, but ya done right in my opinion.
All you can do is all you can do. Hope you get some sleep some month
soon.
Highly Obscure|||I appreciate somebody saying SOMETHING. I mean...blow smoke, I am
alright with that even...as long as I have some kind of idea when to
expect the SP. Thank Brain...you are a stand up guy in my opinion. I
know that you guys want a good SP...as well as I. Just knowing when to
expect it makes my job easier.
I don't know about everyone else..but I am buying a whole server in
which to test SRS SP2...so having a time frame makes my life easier.|||can anyone confirm if rs-sp2 will have a report viewer control for winforms
and webforms ? - is this a pure .NET control or is it ActiveX
also where can i find a list of featuers/bugfixes for sp2?
thanks

client side printing. I responded spefically about the new web and winform
report viewer controls.
SP2 WILL have the ability for client side printing. Two different things
here.
Also, in case you haven't seen, SP2 will be out mid month. It was delayed a
couple of weeks (originally they were targeting the end of March for
release).
