How robust is Reporting Services 2005

Hi,

I am thinking to suggest Reporting Services 2005 to our client to build several complex/mission critical reports.

The only point that is not clear for me is that how robust is the current beta version of SSRS 2005?

Can we start report development on SSRS 2005 latest beta version and then continue using the final release in November?

Is the latest beta version of SSRS 2005 aligning with the Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate 1?

I am asking because there are some report viewer user controls for visual studio 2005 that is included in SSRS 2005. I am not sure those report viewer user controls work in VS2005 release candidate 1.

Any help, suggestion or advice would be appreciated,

Alan

You should first install CTP September and then VS 2005 RC1.
CTP September should give you already a good view of SSRS 2005 and you can certainly use it to start your development. The final SQL Server 2005 RTM release will have a few additional improvements.
