 Very useful book October 30, 2007

I like this book very much. The author explains the client-side reporting with Visual studio in C# in detail, especially step by step. The topics cover windows form, web form, windows service and web service, which are useful for developers to write the report easily.
Although this book says it covers version VS 2005 and VS 2008, I really hope the author can update this book using VS 2008 version and add some new features such as LINQ to generate the client-side reports easily. I will recommend this book to everyone.
 Simple book -easy to read and fullfilling all my needs September 10, 2009

I bought this product in order to develop a dozen reports with formatting, aggregate data and pivots.
After reading the four first chapters I knew enough to develop and deliver the reports. If you skip the cultural initial chapter you might be able to be up and running in less than a day. The rest of the chapters I didn't need since they dealt with peculiar situations I didn't encounter.
The code examples work for VS2005 and VS2008 yet I discovered for myself that most of the code is unnecessary for VS2008; If you look at the properties of your objects in design mode you'll see you can do most of the work at design time.
The tone of the book is slightly humourous and I have no problem with that as long as the book fulfills my needs. In fact, despite a short deadline and the pressure that goes with it, I did appreciate it.
Good overview of reporting services May 12, 2008

I received this book today and have already completed four chapters. It is an easy read and generally thought out. The only complaint so far is the author's over use of the word "Please"! Please see Figure n.n Please give an application name... Enough!
Did the publisher review this book before it went to press? How annoying!
Day two:
In addition, the author writes in broken English: "You should also keep in mind that there is more then one way of getting a report done."
If I had a nickel for every grammatical error I could buy the book which is a shame since the book really is helpful.
This book is rated for intermediate - advanced user but over and over there are instructions for creating a project, creating a dataset, etc.
 Content is their, but painful to read November 14, 2008

This is the only book available on client side reporting. That alone justifies the two stars. The author is obviously not a native English speaker and Apress didn't bother to do much editing either. The book is painful to read with its broken English and repetitive verbosity.
Not Bad But Not Great April 23, 2010
Bernard Hunt (USA)
The book gets the two starts as previously defined for being the only one available. It is a beginner's introduction to Client Side Reporting. Unfortunately if you have reporting experience or are shifting from Crystal to Report Viewer, it is difficult to find what you need. The chapters are a series of reports being created for a specific modality, like winforms, or web based, or console apps, etc. The problem is if you want to learn how to set pagination, you have to search through every example of every chapter to find where that was done. If you have read any of Brian Bischof's books on Crytal Reports, you will be left wanting.
I don't mind the language typos but the typos in the code are critical. There are many, so watch out when you try to copy an example.
Hopefully the author will write an advanced version that has a feature oriented section, rather than just a lot of walkthroughs of how to create a new report.
