ReportViewer for .NET

I'm a VB6.0 programmer who is new to .Net. I'm having to write a
program in .Net that will call various .rdls in a windows
application. I've done the reports in the Business Intelligence
Studio (2005) pulling from a SQL Server 2005 database, but I don't
have .Net 2005, only Visual Studio 2003 for the VB side. I've read a
lot about using the reportviewer.dll for this, but I can't seem to
find it available for the Visual Studio 2003 or the Express version of
2005. Can someone point me in the right direction?
-wylieThe ReportViewer control assumes the 2.0 Framework and VS2005. It does not
work with 2003. See Chapter 14 of my book for a detailed discussion of this
new control. I also include the ReportViewer control in my (free) INETA
talks and some conference sessions. This is also a good source
http://gotreportviewer.com/.

reportserver and reportservertempdb database abstration classes

We are wanting to utilize the tables in ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB,
but do not want write any code that is dependent on the current version (i.e.
RS 2005) of the tables in SRS. Does anyone know if MS has provided us with
some data abstraction classes over the tables beyond the stored procedures
and methods available in the reportServive and reportExecutioon web service
classes?
===================== Thanks!

p.s. Get off the couch and exercise!The SOAP API is the supported interface; the underlying metadata structure
in the database will change between major releases (and maybe even service
packs).
Note: everything you can do in Management Studio and Report Manager is
accomplished through the SOAP API only. A RS 2005 report server supports
both the old RS 2000 SOAP end point as well as the new RS 2005 SOAP end
point.

will pretty much get us where we need to go.
