Does 2010's SQL Reporting Services still use the 2005 Service for Report Service Execution? - sql

In 2005, SQL Reporting Services had two separate services:
http://[server]/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx
and
http://[server[/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx
In 2010, the reportservice2005.asmx has been replaces with reportservice2010.asmx. There are some differences between the two, but so far I've been able to navigate them ok.
But what I am not finding is any new service for reportexecution2005.asmx. And it does not appear that the functionality in this service has been rolled into reportservice2010.asmx.
So, for actually rendering reports, should I still just use reportservice2005.asmx?

From Report Server Web Service Endpoints and more specific the Execution Endpoints section I would say that ReportExecution2005 Namespace is still the way to go.
The ReportExecution2005 endpoint makes it easy for developers to
customize report processing and rendering from a report server in both
native and SharePoint integrated modes. The endpoint includes classes
and methods that existed in earlier versions of the Report Server Web
service. In addition, many new classes and methods have been added to
the Report Server Web service that are exposed through the execution
endpoint.

Using ArcGIS Runtime .NET for services

Is it allowed to build a .NET service for ReverseGeoCoding (LocalLocatorTask) which runs on a server?
We would like to build a service which translates GPS-coordinates to addresses using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. We are already licensed to use the Standard license needed for LocalLocators.
But now we've heard is not allowed to build server applications, is this true and where can I find this in the terms and conditions?
Thanks,
Frederiek
No it isn't allowed (though I can't find the exact wording) as it basically negates the need for ArcGIS Server or the need for multiple user accounts when the same functionality is deployed as an app.
If you can't use it as an app or use ArcGIS Server / Online directly and really need a windows service then you will need to write your own code to do it. If you can use ArcGIS Server services from the windows service I have a project that manages the REST calls at https://github.com/davetimmins/ArcGIS.PCL
This is currently prohibited by the license agreement, though there is no technical reason why it wouldn't work. It is not tested or certified for services environments by Esri development teams.

How to call a web service from SQL Server?

I have on scenario which I have to call a web service from SQL Server. Is there any way to accomplish this task?
As GSerg mentioned in comments, this is something you can do within a SQL CLR procedure. This link will walk you through a proof of concept scenario, but the principles are there.

Depending on what you need to do with it, you can also build an SSIS package. It has an out-of-the-box task for web services.

I would use SQL Server Data Tools for Business Inteligence (SQL2012+) or Business Inteligence Development Studio (SQL2008[R2]) to create an Integration Services project including Web Service Task:

Strategies for testing multi-user desktop application

We are developing a multi-user desktop application with C# 3.5, windows forms and sql 2008.
There are various things I want to test -
1) performance - how application behaves when multiple users are accessing the database?
2) How to simulate a conflict, and test how application is helping out the user.
How can I test the above scenarios?
Any other scenarios you can think of?
thanks
We need to see how the application communicates with DB layer
Web Services or stored procedure calls
For Stored proceduress I would suggest using SQLQueryStress - sql server query performance testing tool
Alternatively if it through web services I would suggest testing using VSTT
VSTT has good information and articles on web testing, load testing
Visual Studio Performance Testing Quick Reference Guide (Version 2.0) Published http://blogs.msdn.com/b/edglas/archive/2010/04/13/visual-studio-performance-testing-quick-reference-guide-version-2-0-published.aspx
One more alternate option is
SQL 2008 has data services - Exposing Stored procedures as Web Services
You can exposre core procedures and load test them as web services in VSTT

How to trasform a microsoft sql server report service in web application

How can i trasform a microsoft sql server report service in web application or something that i can access on the net?
thanks to all that would help me
You've got a bunch of different options - see:
Integrating Reporting Services into Applications
Using the Report Server Web Service/SOAP APIs
Extending/Integrating Reporting Services using RS Programming
There's a asp:ReportViewer control, which allows you to either display a local *.rdlc file containing a report definition, or you can also hook that up to a server-side *.rdl file on your reporting server.
Is that what you're looking for? It can render and show the report you defined on a ASP.NET page.

Data access in Silverlight 2.0

I'm new to silverlight and I'm porting from asp.net 2.0. I have done many data binding applications in asp.net where I use sql server 2005 and use it's tables and access them via sqlconnection object and perform all kind of database related functions. Can anyone tell does silverlight 2.0 supports such kind of facility. If so can I use any database server, if not is it through web services? can anyone point me some good place to start with.
No you can't connect directly to a database server. You need to use a web service. However to simplify things you can call a data web service such as SQL Server Data Services or Amazon S3. Otherwise use REST.
Silverlight is a client side technology. You can't access a database on the server directly. You have to use a layer in between, like webservices. For a nice tutorial on how to do that, check http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/pages/silverlight-2-end-to-end-tutorial-building-a-digg-search-client.aspx
