How to Use Business Logic DLL

In my company, we have an extensive Business Logic Layer class library that
is used for several development projects. This works great for re-use and
streamlining project development. We would also like to extend this
capability to reporting services activities within the corporation. How can
we define a report in reporting services to use our class library vs an SQL
Datasource?I think your best bet would be to wrap some web services around your DLL and
then in RS 2005, you can create an XML data source. Connect to your web
services to pull in the data.
Otherwise, you would need to go into the Macro section of RS and add a
reference to your DLL, and then create functions to expose data elements. I
think that would less maintainable...
