How to Design a report in Web Developer Express

Hey All,
The title pretty much says it all, how do I design a report using Visual Studio Web Developer 2005 Express edition? I thought it would be pretty strait forward.

I have downloaded the add-in for it, called SQLServer2005_ReportAddin.msi and installed it. I know this provides me with a report viewer for my web apps, but I want to design a report, maybe deploy it to a reporting server. But thats all.

How do I do that?

I see no File -> New Report or anything.

Thanks for the help

Hi.

Ok, I believe that the programa that you downloaded install a new IDE... or something like that, Find out in your programs menu for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" and then "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" and let me know.

|||Hi, thanks for the reply, I went to Start -> Programs -> SQL Server 2005 but there is nothing like "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" at all.

You are correct in saying that I installed a new IDE, I was under the assumption that when I installed Web Developer Express 2005, and the Sql Server Add-in I could create reports. But I cant find where to do it, or for that matter documentation for the add-in to help me.

Thanks for the help so far.

How to deploy SQL Server Everywhere with my windows form application?

Hello!

I've been creating a vb.net 2005 windows form application using Everywhere and it has been going pretty well. However, I haven't had much luck finding any help on how to deploy my Everywhere database file(s) and Everywhere itself. To install redistribute Everywhere, can I just add the the 8 .dlls found in the Everywhere directory into my VS setup project? Also, what database file(s) do I need to deploy in my windows setup?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link Darren. This looks like it's using ClickOnce but I was hoping to deploy Everything using the Windows installer. Any thoughts on how that might happen?

Thanks!

it's the same process of putting the right DLLs that belong to SQL Ev into your program's app directory.
