I became a big fan in vs.net 2003 of creating generic reporting pages for crystal reports, where I would use a simple ado-type connection to the database to create the report. The big advantage being that I could add a new report to the application without needing a recompile - just create the report and add a few parameters to a table. Now with vs.net 2005 Im moving to the local SQL Server reports, and as best as I can tell they use 2 types of data sources: strongly typed datasets or generic lists. In other words, if I want to report on a new table, I have to touch app_code. Ouch. Is my understanding correct?
