SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services and VS.NET 2005

If we have SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Reporting Services already installed is it possible to design reports in VS.NET 2005 or is VS.NET 2005 tied to the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

    Sort of.

    When you create your SSRS 2000 report (with VS2003), you can then upload/deploy it directly to SSRS 2005, or open it with VS 2005.

    If you upload/deploy it, the report will work, and you can even export it back OUT of SSRS 2005 as a SSRS 2000 report (I learned this only recenlty myself). If you open the report with VS 2005, the schema of the report is automatically upgraded to 2005, and it will only work inside SSRS 2005 and VS 2005.

    Reports created in VS 2003 will run on SSRS 2000 or 2005. Reports created with VS 2005 will only run on VS 2005.

    So basically we could create our reports using VS.NET 2003 and SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services and consume them using VS.NET 2005 and .NET 2.0
