I'm not new to C# and Visual Studio, but I'm new to SSRS.

I use Visual Studio 2017, and I have installed the SSRS Plugin. I have created a Report Server Project, added a SQL Database as a Data Source, created a Data Set and created a simple Report, which can be displayed in Preview Mode. I use SQL Server management Studio 2012.

I would like to use the Report to display it in a WPF Application and/or Print it from an application in batch mode etc. but I can't figure out how to, since I don't understand the actual implications of using SSRS. The msdn documentation raises more questions for me than it answers (as usual).

Edit: To be more precise: I want to know how to use the assembly of the Report server project in other Projects. Adding it as a reference is not an option in VS 2017.

Thanks for your help!

  • This doesn't answer the question, but yes, it helped me understand a few things. Tahks! – A. Non May 17 '17 at 11:21
  • I am going to guess that you will not get an answer to your question here. It is too broad in scope. SO I meant to answer specific questions. If you were having an issue getting an existing report to work in your application, where you were getting a clear error, we could probably help. But, you are asking how to add reporting to your application, which is no small task. Good luck, though. – R. Richards May 17 '17 at 11:30
  • The best way to get an answer here is to add some code to your question. You have a simple test program it seems. Give it to us. You want to connect it to a WPF application. Show us your first attempt. You will get a quick turn around. Save printing and batch mode for another question. – AQuirky May 17 '17 at 11:55
  • Thank you both for the constructive criticism. Edited the question to make it more precise. – A. Non May 17 '17 at 12:16
