I am using ASP.NET/C#.

For the first time I am doing Reporting in ASP.NET.

I created a sample Report following this tutorial.

As far as I understood it requires a seperate Report server to be created for this to work.We don't want to create seperate Reporting server.

Can anyone guide me as to how I can create SSRS Reports locally without creating a seperate server?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Visual Studio 2005 report designer supports locally executed reports, which have an RDLC extension.

Here's a tutorial

MSDN: Creating Client Report Definition Files

Also see When to use RDLC over RDL reports?.

  • Never done it personally, but yes. Looks like you could do it in vs2005 too; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252067(v=vs.80).aspx – Stafford Williams Jul 12 '12 at 08:31
