Good overview of reporting services3
I received this book today and have already completed four chapters. It is an easy read and generally thought out. The only complaint so far is the author's over use of the word "Please"! Please see Figure n.n Please give an application name... Enough!

Did the publisher review this book before it went to press? How annoying!

Day two:

In addition, the author writes in broken English: "You should also keep in mind that there is more then one way of getting a report done."

If I had a nickel for every grammatical error I could buy the book which is a shame since the book really is helpful.

This book is rated for intermediate - advanced user but over and over there are instructions for creating a project, creating a dataset, etc.

Very useful book5
I like this book very much. The author explains the client-side reporting with Visual studio in C# in detail, especially step by step. The topics cover windows form, web form, windows service and web service, which are useful for developers to write the report easily.

Although this book says it covers version VS 2005 and VS 2008, I really hope the author can update this book using VS 2008 version and add some new features such as LINQ to generate the client-side reports easily. I will recommend this book to everyone.
