I’ve been using the ReportViewer control in Visual Studio quite a bit to create RDLC (offline) reports that are based on the result of LINQ queries against object trees. It’s been a while since there has been a new release of this control and Visual Studio 2010 did not include anything major with regards to the ReportViewer control. I asked around and got an email from Robert Bruckner answering my two main questions:
1. Yes, the ReportViewer control in VS2010 will run on both .NET 3.5 as well as .NET 4.0.
2. Yes, the ReportViewer control in VS2010 will support Export to Word for RDLC (offline) scenarios.
Thanks Robert (and the rest of the people working on this technology), great news!
