处理没有SSRS的rdl / rdlc报告文件？

Question

Is there any way to render and export an rdl file within a batch process without using SSRS?

I don't want the overhead of SSRS (IIS + database) and instead want to handle this within my own batch/scheduling service.

Thanks

You can conceivably use the Report Viewer control in a server process written in managed code. You pass the control a data source (which can be a DataTable memory object), and it will return a byte stream that you can direct into a file.

The control has a UI, but that can be by-passed.
