ReportViewer: LocalReport vs ServerReport

0.00/5 (No votes)

Hello,

I am trying to understand the differences or lets say the benefits of using a LocalReport vs a ServerReport for the ReportViewer. My website will be of course be running on a remote server and so will the database; separate servers. My users will access the site and make use of the ReportViewer and possible save the report in one the given formats (excel, pdf, or word). Which report type should I be developing in this case? By the way, this is an internal site so very few users and its usage maybe just a few times a month.

I was looking into this lately too. I went with local report processing. I use the RV and process in the client. Most times when the report is requested, the datasource has already been filled and only requires a filtering per the selection of the user.
