RDLC is standard reporting tool for visual studio by using these we can display reports regarding employee details and display charts etc and crystal reports need minimal coding to display result.

To implement RDLC reports first design the table in database and give name UserInfomation

ColumnName	DataType
UserId	Int(set identity property=true)
UserName	varchar(50)
FirstName	Varchar(50)
LastName	varchar(50)
Location	varchar(50)

After completion of table creation enter some dummy data because we need to use that data to populate reports. Now Open visual studio 2008 and create new website and open Default.aspx page in Design mode after that open Toolbox from that drag and drop MicrosoftReportViewer control from Reporting tab

After drag and drop MicrosoftReportViewer in your page select ReportViewer control and click on smart tag in right side and select Design a new Report

Now one window will open to add new connection in that enter Server Name and select authentication type either windows or SQL Server and select database name after fill all the details click on Test Connection if the connection path is correct then that will display Test connection succeeded. After that click ok

After click ok New database connection added to dropdown now click on Next button
