RDL Object Model
A programmatic way to create nice reports
SQL
Server Reporting Services are described using RDL, a XML-schema (see
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/reporting/rdlspec.mspx).
To create good reports you can follow different paths:
- You can use a visual tool (see there)
- You can programmatically create the correct RDL (see here
as an example)
- You can have an object model for the RDL schema: althought
that metod has an high upfront implementation effort, the benefits in
term of power of use and flexibility (and of time save) are great once
implemented
RDL
Object Model (based on the work made by Teo Lachev http://www.prologika.com/
and presented during Microsoft Tech-Ed 2007) follow the
third path.
