*******How to write a driver for RS?*********

Now I met this question: Our project need us must write a driver to retrive
data from file but not from database to form a report.
That is to say: I want retrive data from a text file to form a reporting
service.
How did I ?Read up on data processing extensions in RS help. It will tell you all about
it.

Basically you must implement a subset of the ADO.NET Data Provider plus some
Reporting Services extensions - the Reporting Services Data Provider to do
this using at least a Connection, Command, and DataReader. You do not have to
support SQL. It works quite nicely.
