A generic reporting strategy with local sql reports

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?
Thanks
