ReportViewer LocalReport Export File type limitation(VS.NET 2005 beta 2)

I need export the report to Excel,PDF,CVS,TXT format,but the LocalReport Export File type only one: Excel.

I know the RemoteReport (SQL Server Reporting Services) support many export file types, but the ReportViewer need License , so I didn't try the RemoteReport. The following material come from VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 MSDN:

ReportViewer Controls in Visual Studio 2005
...
Remote processing mode requires a licensed copy of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. This requirement applies to all scenarios that involve a report server.

Will the LocalReport Export File type limitation be overcome And how & where can I get a licensed copy of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I know I've already put in my $0.02 on this, but PDF export would be huge for our application. If you could get it in, that would be great...

Report Server does not have to be on the same machine as ReportViewer control. You can install SQL Server (including Reporting Services) on one machine, and Visual Studio 2005 (including ReportViewer control) on another machine.

See the top thread in the forum. This will be added by RTM.

I assume you don't mean SQL Server 2005 beta 2, which was shipped over a year ago. It looks lik you are using the June CTP. Did you uninstall the .NET Framework before installing it You might also try posting at the SQL setup forum.

In Beta 2, the ReportViewer control only supports Excel export. Based on customer feedback we are also considering adding PDF to the final product.

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services is a part of SQL Server 2005. Licensing and other information about Reporting Services is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/

Brian,

Just to clarify your post on 6/12/05, PDF export will definitely be added to the WinForms viewer by RTM Is this correct

Thanks! We're really hoping this is the case...

But after installed VS.NET 2005 Beta 2.0, I install SQL 2005 Beta 2, at the 1st step, bug reported:

I can't install SQL 2005 beta 2 on my compter , my colleague also had the same problem.
And worst thing is, after the installation, VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 don't work (ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site), it always said "the resource couldn't be found." . I reinstalled VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 but it still didn't work. So I uninstall the VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 then installed VS.NET 2005 agian, it work well. I think the problem maybe caused by SQL 2005 installation.

So I can't use ReportViwer's RemoteReport property to access the report which provided by Reporting Service, becuase RemoteReport need SQL Server 2005 License.

While I had installed SQL 2005 beta 2 on a virtual machine which No VS.NET 2003/2005,SQL 2000 installed.

How can I handle these problems

Thanks.
