We have a c# application to which we'd like to add some new reports. I would like to include new reports as part of the application, include them on the main application menu.
I am learning about SSRS. I read that I can use a reportviewer to include an SSRS report as either a 'local' or 'server' report.
My plan is to allow the user to fill in some parameters in order to generate a report in the form of a bar chart. I also want to be able to export this report in pdf format.
I believe that I can do this by creating a report with parameters in SSRS, then use the reportViewer to point to it. Is there something else that I am missing?

Would creating a local report be better?
edit( I'm using sql server 2008)
Thanks for your opinions.
