- · Secure access for viewing and managing reports.
Windows Azure Reporting offers the following capabilities:
- · Host operational reports based on report data from existing Windows Azure SQL Database. Operational reports are report definition language (RDL) reports.
- · Embed the Visual Studio Report Viewer AJAX control in on-premise Web applications or cloud-based Windows Azure applications to add rich reporting to custom applications. The Report Viewer control points to reports hosted on report servers.
