Here is a recap of the presentation:

SQL Server Reporting Services – Beyond 101

In this presentation we will look different ways of using and extending Reporting Services.

Topics will include using and customizing charts, using expressions for common (and not-so-common) Reporting Services tasks, creating drilldowns/drillthroughs, querying SSRS metadata using custom code, and using Reporting Services to connect to non-conventional data sources (MySQL and other data sources). We’ll also include a few tricks (like PowerShell!) you might not have known about SSRS!

This presentation will be demo-filled. You’ll be sure to go home with ready-to-use tricks up your sleeve.
