Hi All

I am assessing whether we should move to reporting services to make
available various company reports via the web.

While most reports have a stored procedure origin for their data, there are
a few of our reports that require some programatic massaging.

These reports typically involve some specialised data pivoting and/or
formatting.

My question is, can reporting services utilise a custom dll as the source of
data for a report? As an example, reporting services can generate a report
from a stored procedure via a select statement. Can reporting services build
a report from a user designed dll (.Net). The dll would expose a method that
return a dataset, or possibly, xml data?

My apologies if this question has been asked before.

Thank you

Harry
