| I am writing a program in c# and I am using sql report server. I would like to give my users access to the designer or just the preview section of the designer. I am getting hit about making them view the report in a browser and then export to some other application if they want to paginate or print. Plus Microsoft web browser is very slow.(I cannot use any other applications; my choice is sql report or crystal.)Those anyone have any ideas? |

| The way we did our app (on an intranet) was for reports that were to be printed out, force them to come up as PDF format by default ... OK, so it would appear that you are using a windows app, I have read of people using the IE browser control embedded in their desktop program to manage this.In the Reporting services newsgroup .... http://www.microsoft.com/sql/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs I have read of a report viewer, note I know nothing about it at all.You really dont want to go giving visual studio to your end-users do you ? apart from being expensive, it is a little dangerous letting anyone fiddle about with the reports (without going through appropriate testing and change control)Graham |

| Report Server comes with samples in vb and c# that implement a report viewer that you could customize and deploy as you like. They allow control of rendering formats and report browsing. |
