I guess I am ignorant about
SQL Reporting Services. why would I use them in an ASP.NET app. why would I just display things in a datagrid or something? What can I do with them that I can't do some other way just as easy.
Hello,
Crystal Reports and SQL Reporting Services are both extremely useful if you are creating Reports that are to be printed. A traditional datagrid would format it as HTML and wouldn't look 'professional' if you printed it out. Crytsal can output to a Word document,
PDF, Excel -- and also has tools that assist with other common reporting tasks.
