SQL Reporting Services - Render() via WebService

If you are planning to use SQL Reporting Services to create reports by calling the RS WebService's Render() method using impersonation, just forget about it. It is slllllllllllllow, and that's probably the case using delegation too. Oh, and the PDFs it generates suuuuuuuuuucks, and fumbling around with RDL suuuuuuuuucks.

OK, that being said there's a time and a place for SQL RS, but it's for intranet-based solutions that are not very elaborate. Disagree? I want to see your solution - wow me.


Digg!

I'm right there with ya, I was very disappointed with RS on a recent project. It's like hey forgot about how people would actually need to use it when they were developing it.

Maybe we'll get lucky and SQL 2005 will have a better implementation. :)
