Please bare with me, sorry for the novice question.
Is it possible to run a report by pressing a 'generate report' button in a WPF application which at that point brings in the parameters needed for the report from the current record in the WPF page and then asks where to save the report to.
Can you please point me to any relevant help on this, I have looked but to no avail.
Many Thanks,
Oliver

Hello Oliver,
we used the possibility to generate reports via URL from many different applications written in java, powerbuilder , c++ and other languages. SSRS is a great way to manage printout reports in a central location. Just build a string like "http://<yourserver>/reportserver/..." in your application and pass on all the parameters from your local scope. Then you send it to IE. You can also set the rendering format, so if you choose .pdf you should be prompted where to save it.
