README.TXT File for ReportViewer Control Sample Projects

This project requires the VS2005 Release Candidate or later (gold code). The report designs might not work when run under VS2005 Beta 2 or earlier.

1. Unzip the contents of this file with full path to install the AWTestWinForm.sln and NWTestWinForm.sln projects in d:\ReportViewer\AWTestWinForm and d:\ReportViewer\NWTestWinForm folders.

2. The AWTestWinForm.sln project requires a connection to an SQL Server instance running the AdventureWorks 2005 (OLTP) sample database.

3. The NWTestWinForm.sln project requires a connection to an SQL Server instance running the Northwind sample database.

4. The connection strings for the sample database specify 'localhost' as the instance name. Change the connection string to suit your installation.

5. Each of the two projects have multiple *.rdlc report design files. Change the file name in the Form_Load event handler to start with a design file other than the default.

6. You can copy any *.rdlc file to another file and edit its design.
