replacement for report manager

Hi!
I am evaluating how far i can go in implementing repoting features of SRS in
my program.
I want to be able to write a Windows form (in C#) that has a grid/list
containing all the reports that I have made. The list may have been
previously enterd into the database along with other information needed to
run the particular report.
I want to be able to select in the grid/list(e.g. using a check box) which
reports to run, and what format to render each individual report, as well as
other parameters.
Is the Report Manager that extensible? Is it possible to create this sort of
replacement for Report Manager from C#?
I am using VS2005 and SRS 2005.
Thanks in advance!It is absolutely possible... I have written a report for a customer which
searches the reporting services met data database and returns a list of
reports which match the search criteria the customer wants.. It creates a
report which displays the report name, directory and description... Each
report name is a hot link to run the report... This was done in a report!~
Using a programming language you can do anything you wish... There is a
ReportViewer control ( Search for ReportViewer in Books on line.) that you
can use..
There are sample programs in the SQL directory /90 subdirectory which will
help get you started...
Reporting Services is also just a DotNet Web service, with an entire API
which can you call from your program as well.. It is the same API that MS
uses in the Report Manager..
