still, you need SQL 2005 Server w/Report Service licenced in a server
machine to run it.
To me it doesn't look like you do, as I stated in the previous message

# Q: Is a SQL Server license required to use the ReportViewer control?

A: No. The ReportViewer control is freely redistributable. It can work
independently of SQL Server ('local mode') and a SQL Server license is
not required. In remote mode the ReportViewer control talks to a Report
Server. The Report Server does require a SQL Server license.

I have not seen anywhere stating that you must have SQL server but I
have seen almost everywhere saying that you do not need SQL server.
Yes you would need it if you use RDL, but I will be using RDLC.

I know I read somewhere that Crystal can be used for up to a couple
users concurrently for web server purposes. Once you get past that
then you need to get Crystal Report Server. All of the documentation I
have read on RDLC and the reportviewer says nothing about having to get
a license for that.

the answer it's easy for the CR part.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 have the component for Crystal Reports
under
ASP.NET, but this license is only for developer proposes, to have it
under
a
publishing server you need to buy a new license and as you can see under
CR
website, does not have any limitation like the Developer license in the
VS2k5.

SQL Report Services is the same deal... under VS is only for
developing...

I am currently using ASP.Net 2003 and will be upgrading to 2005
sometime in the near future. I have been having issues with using
Crystal Reports that were included with .Net to handle my reporting
needs. I was wondering if anybody has an opinion on how the new
reportViewer control works in comparison to Crystal. One of the main
problems I have been having with Crystal Reports is that they seem to
load very slow no matter how small the report is and no matter how
fast
the server is. I also have been having a problem (and I think this is
a Crystal bug) with creating the report to work with lets say the pubs
database. Then when I transfer to a different machine and want to use
a different database name pubsTest, the report fails. The application
that we are writing will have about 50 -100 people using it (not all
at
once). One of my concerns with crystal was that I believe it has a
limit on how many people can run reports. Is this the case with RDLC?
Are RDLC faster? More reliable? Easy to use?
