Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step

Part V. Programming Reporting Services

In Part IV, "Delivering Reports," you completed the final stage of the reporting life cycle using Reporting Services. Now, in Part V, you begin the reporting life cycle again, but in these chapters, you’ll look at how to author, manage, and deliver reports programmatically. Because Reporting Services has an extensible architecture that uses an open schema for reports and a published application programming interface (API), you can add as little or as much customization as you need to fully support the information requirements of your organization.
