William R. Vaughn - President and Founder Beta V Corporation

The inside scoop on how to get the most out of the new ReportViewer control and how it's evolved in Visual Studio 2008. This discusses how to leverage your Reporting Services skills and RDL reports to create application-based reports and how to manage the myriad of issues that come up when trying to emulate Reporting Services functionality like parameters, connections, pick-list population and much more. This session previews the SQL Server Reporting Services technology coming with SQL Server 2008.

Bill will be bringing copies of his two most-recent books ("Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services" and "Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition)" to giveaway as door prizes.
