Moving On
In Chapters 16 and 17, you learned how to create an SSRS project, a shared data source, a shared dataset, a simple
tabular report, and a report template. That was a lot to learn, but there is still more to go.
SSRS is one of Randal's favorite subjects, partially because he worked with SSRS at Microsoft for several
years -- but mostly because it is fun to create reports. If you feel the same way and would like to learn more, we
have provided many demonstrations on our website at
www.NorthwestTech.org/SSRSDemos
.
You will find several
examples of SSRS reports using the various SSRS report items in the Toolbox (Figure
17-35
), as well as tips and
tricks on how to develop and manage SSRS reports that we hope you find useful.

LEARN By DoINg
in this “Learn by Doing” exercise, you create an ssRs report solution similar to the one defined in this
chapter using the northwind database. we included an outline of the steps you performed in this chapter and
an example of how the authors handled them in two word documents. These documents are found in the
folder
C:\_BISolutionsBookFiles\_LearnByDoing\Chapter17Files
. Please see the
ReadMe.doc
file for
detailed instructions.
