Hi all,

 

I am currently considering rebuilding a report previously created using
Crystal Reports in VS2010.

 

I am using VS2012, and as yet, Crystal Reports is not supported (read: I did
discover a hack workaround but I'm not happy with it)

 

That's sort of ok for me as I only have about 2 reports in this app anyway,
so I am thinking of rebuilding it using the default Report Builder in
VS2012.

 

But it looks and behaves differently to what I remembered previously. It
used to be that I could relate my Crystal knowledge straight to SSRS, but it
appears that I now have some gaps there and I'm hoping someone can give me
some tips.

 

Is it SQL Server Reporting services, or a cut down version?

 

How can I add a Report Header and Report Footer - I can do that easily in
Crystal but in Report Builder the option isn't obvious?

 

I am somewhat confused about the Column and Row groups. Everything seems to
be some sort of tabulation, whereas all I want is to have row details
showing with a summing in the Report footer. Is there something I'm missing
here?

 

Regards,

Tony
