REPORTING SERVICES 2005 AND VISUAL STUDIO 2003

Hi everyone
I would like to put the following question...
I have a machine with XP Pro SP2, MSSQL 2000, Reporting Services 2000
and V.S. 2003, could I Install Rep Serv 2005 and create reports on an
MSQL2000 Database?
Do I need to Install Visual Studio 2005 ?
Thanks a lot
MiltosRS 2005 comes with a version of VS 2005. You do not have to purchase it.
Just install the BI tools from the SQL Server 2005 disk. RS 2005 can use SQL
Server 2000 db for its object/metadata (as long as you have the SQL Server
2005 license) the biggest issue is installing side by side on the database
with RS 2000. The other issue is IIS. One part of IIS (RS 2000) needs to
stay at 1.1, the other needs to be at 2.0. So you upgrade IIS with 2.0
framework and then you have to get the initial sites back to 1.1.
I believe all of this is possible but it is non-trivial.

I have worked on a project created in VS 2003 Framework 1.1, SQL 2000,
RS2000
The client wanted to upgrade SQL to 2005 but now I have difficulties
running my application which runs on Framework 1.1 to call RS2005 now
using Framework 2.
So to solve it, I downgraded RS back to 2000.|||There was no reason to downgrade RS. There are two ways to be integrating:
URL Integration and Web Services. Both are still available to you from your
application. The web server has to be told which sites are still running
1.1, then the sites used by RS 2005 use 2.0.
Also, his case was that he wanted to have RS 2000 and RS 2005 side by side.
That does not seem to be the case for you. Your situation seemed to be one
of integration which should not be a problem at all.
