Reporting Svcs 2000 and Visual Studio 2005?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Reporting Svcs.
My PC has VStudio 2003 and VStudio 2005.
I installed Rep Svcs 2000 and created a report with it from VStudio 2003.
From VStudio 2005 there's no access to create projects of type Report.
The windows end-user application project that needs to display the reports
is in VStudio 2005, but from VStudio 2005 I don't see the option to create
reports with Rep Svcs 2000.
I need to be able to design reports in Rep Svcs 2000 and be able to access
them from this win application project that is in VStudio 2005. Is this
possible? How can I do that?
Thank you in advance,
RichardRS 2000 is a framework 1.1 asp.net application. RS 2005 is a 2.0 framework
asp.net application. There are two ways to integrate a 2.0 app with (whether
winforms or webforms) you can use web services (which requires a good bit of
work on your part for winforms) or you can use URL integration. Just embed
an IE control on your winform and use URL integration. Pretty straight
forward as long as you are doing an intranet app.
VS 2005 comes with new winform and webform controls. These can be used in
either local mode (all rendering is local, no server is involved) or server
mode. Either way, the new controls only work with RS 2005 reports.
Note that you can (if you have a license) install RS 2005 to use SQL Server
2000 as its metadata/object store.
I highly recommend going to RS 2005. It has a lot of new, really useful
features (better performance, multi-select parameters, end user sorting,
etc).

2000, and have the WinForm application in .Net 2.0 invoke/render/display this
report? How would you suggest this could be done?
Thank you in advance,
Richard

URL integration. Assemble a string passing in parameters via URL. Use the IE
control in a Winform and set its URL to the string.

WinForm, so the use of an IE control on a WinForm will be the easiest to
implement.
