Summary


This chapter covered why and how Microsoft chose to use XML in SSRS. It also covered the programming model that arose as a result, and explained some of the key elements and their derivations .

The following chapters build on this information, some indirectly and some in a more direct way. Report Builder and Report Designer are nothing more than fancy RDL generators. As such, this chapter provides a cursory look at what they generate. The following chapters really do nothing more than show how to use them to build bigger and better reports by generating more advanced RDL. Chapter 11 incorporates additional RDL discussion around report items and data regions .
