Product Description Purchase this book and you'll get the free, fully searchable eBooka $20 value! (Details are printed inside the book.) It does a good job of covering the fundamentals and simple reporting needs. For the SSRS newcomer, it is a great place to start. — Will Wagers, C# Online.NET SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2005 is the latest version of the reporting technology from Microsoft. This book examines all of the technology that SSRS provides to design, author, render and deploy professional business reports to the Web or to the company intranet (in a variety of formats, from HTML to XML, PDF, or TIFF), with detailed examples at every step. It covers all of the new functionality present in the 2005 version, including the new management and BI development studios as well as the new report viewer controls and end-user reporting tools. It also contains significantly expanded chapters on Business Intelligence along with a wealth of tips and workarounds for effective development with SSRS. The authors are both highly experienced with SQL Server and with business reporting in the medical industry, which is subject to rigorous HIPAA regulations and strict security. It is not their intention to evangelize the product or present "idealized" examples based on the simple built-in schemas. Instead, they take a hard, critical look at the technology and provide exactly what the reader needs to know to deliver effective reports. Their code examples are based on real, complex schemas and the need to deliver versatile, dynamic reports, as well as on strict security and performance requirements. In summary, this book will provide you with step-by-step guides, best practices, and real code examples covering all of the common Reporting Services tasks, including: - A detailed overview of the reporting architecture and tools
- The new Report Definition Language Standard, which is XML-based and allows you to define reports in VS.NET
- Building effective queries for high-performance reporting
- Building custom .NET applications with SSRS
- Rendering reports to HTML, XML, PDF and Excel
- Deploying secure reports, using Windows authentication through Active directory
- Business Intelligence reporting using SQL Server Analysis Services
Featured Customer Reviews  got me up and running with SSRS QUICK!,

Loved the writing style. I really appreciated that instead of boring us with an introductory chapter to RDL (Report Definition Language), they sneak it in here and there, keeping the info flowing at a good pace. Plus they wrote the book based on a real-world project they worked on, which makes it easier to grasp the concepts. I give this an A+ and will look for Apress books first from now on ;)
Great Learning/Reference Book,
February 28, 2008 This books serves as a great learning tool and reference for people learning RS or for those of us that use it on a daily basis. No Substance in this Book,

Good information,
May 26, 2006 This book has been well written. Concise, but to-the-point. Coverage on Share point portal and Microsoft CRM is the most comprehensive comparing all the other SRS books in the market. I would recommend you buy this book as well as Wrox to be complete. Easy to follow,
