Does anyone know if Report Services 2005 work with Visual Studio 2003?
Thanks,
Jim

No it does not. It is based on the 2.0 framework while VS 2003 uses the 1.1
framework.

If I install .Net Framework 2.0 can I use VS 2003 to develop using SSRS2005
API or are there any other build dependencies( like new features in C# )
that force me to use VS 2005 ?

thanks,Ravi

VS 2003 does not work with 2.0 framework as far as I know. Regardless, VS
2005 requires VS 2005 codebase. By that I mean, if you have VS 2005 it will
integrate with it, otherwise RS 2005 ships with a version of VS 2005 for
developing reports.

Since it comes with everything needed to develop reports (unlike RS 2000
that required you have some version of VS) then there is really no need or
reason that I can see that whether it works with VS 2005 is an issue.

Thanks for the response.

I did realized that installing SSRS 2005 installs Business Intelligence
Development Studio which allows creation of models and reports using Report
Designer. However, if I need to write custom code using C# that uses SSRS
2005 API such as ReportingServices2005( for things like executing the report
programmatically), I still need the C# compiler and the rest of the Visual
Studio features that are not part of Business Intelligence Dev Studio.

My queston was, can I do the above with VS 2003( with .net Framework 2.0
installed ) or do I need VS 2005 ?

thanks for your time,
Ravi

RS 2005 supports both the 2000 web services api and the 2005 web services
api. I don't think it should make any difference if you are developing this
in VS 2003 or VS 2005. Web services know nothing about what you are calling
the web services from and you can do web services from either environment.
Note you are calling a web service, you are not creating a web service.
