Just use the report wizard in SQL Server Reporting Services to create a report which gets its data from SQL server, this is fairly straightforward

.

Next, deploy the report to your report server (requires IIS).

You can then use either the web service (Reporting Services SOAP API) in a winform application to display your report, or from an ASP.NET you can put your report in a page as another piece of HTML, you can also call the webservice from ASP.NET.



[When you install SQL Server Reporting Services, there are various components. The 'report server' element has to sit on a box with IIS installed. It uses SQL Server to store the report files (RDL files) that you created in Visual Studio 2003 with the 'report designer' (shows under 'business intelligence' projects once installed)



If you do this in Visual Studio 2005 with SQL Server 2005 it is a whole lot easier with better functionality.
