Hello, We are in the process of finalising a reporting tool. I want to know if Telerik reports can extract data from both SQL server 2000 and SQL server 2005 databases.
Many thanks in advance, Vaneeth

Thank you for your question, Van.
Telerik Reporting does not provide its own data layer. Rather, it depends on standard .NET objects - collections, DataSource, DataTable, DataViews and data adapters. For more information please refer to this help topic.
What you need to connect to SQL Server 2000/2005 are the standard objects from System.Data.SqlClient namespace (System.Data.dll). Yes, that's it! Moreover we strongly recommend using the provided Report Wizard or Data Source Wizard which will assist you in connecting to your data base in a few simple steps without the need to write any code by hand.
