  hey
  
  you can use reportviewer in your winforms applications by using local report.
  you can create report in WDW with installed reportaddin.
  
  it's working

  Hi People,
  
  At the moment Active Reports does not have support for Express Editions. 
  
  I was looking for information about how to make reports in the new versions of VB2005 Express but I did not obtain any result. 

  Finally I had to make my reports with Excel, but the process is very slow.  I hope that soon the most popular versions to create reports, offer support for Express Editions

  Jamil

  The URL es:

  It says that is only ASP.NET, no support for WinForms.
  
  It is sad that there is no report viewer component for Express Edition for WinForms.
  
  Regards.

  Any luck with this one  
  
  Does the full version of VB Express come with Crystal Reports
  
  I would also like to get my hands on a report generator for the VB and SQL express Beta 2 edition.

  there is reporting services in SQL Server Express 2005, you can create reports but not using visual basic, you must download and use the visual web designer software, then you can create web reports. There is not functionality to create a report project in VB Express 05, only in the full blown Visual studio 05 suite.

  Per the walkthroughs you can add a report to a project, but they lie you can't. I have tried, there is varied information all over the microsoft site, some places say you can use reporting services, others say it is not for winForms, I don't know what to believe or if we can create reports within. I sure would like an answer.

  There is a report addin (SQLServer2005_ReportAddin.msi) that is supposed to work but I have no clue how yet.  This was in the Express downloads somewhere.

  Crystal doesn't come with the Express Editions.  If you're using SQL Server, you can use Microsoft's reporting services.  I think reports can be added from the new item... menu, and report controls are available on the toolbar.
  
  If you're not using SQL Server, you'll need to get a third party reporting package.  We use Active Reports, which is pretty good (but not free).  There are some free ones as well, just look around on SourceForge or another open source catalog.
  
  Hope this helps,

  If I am correct there are NO reporting services provided for the Visual Studio Express
  
  An except from the SQL Server 2005 versus Server Express comparison:
  
  
  

  The following list highlights the major SQL Server 2005 components that are not supported in this version of SQL Server Express:

  • Reporting Services
    
  • Notification Services
    
  • Analysis Services
    
  • Full text search
    
  • DTS
    
  • OLAP Services / Data Mining
    
  • English Query
    

   

  
  
  

• Crirus

  Yes, more info please.
  
  What do you mean by "local report "
  
  What is "WDW"
   
  And where do we find the "installed reportaddin"
  
  Are there any links to "How to articles" on MSDN please.
