Developing a basic report

Designing and developing a basic report in SSRS is as easy as following the steps in a wizard. In this section, we will go through the scenario of creating our first SSRS report with the SSDT report wizard. You will learn about the structure of a Reporting Service project. Data sources will be used to connect to the source database, and then datasets will be explored which contain SQL queries to fetch data from the data source. We will go through the report layout to see how to configure the page and report layout.
