introduction to telerik reports

it has been years since i have not dealt with reporting.. so, i am a total newbie for this..
in this post, i share my one-day activity on warming up using telerik reports, a sample telerik report about a specific user's information viewed in a web app and how to deploy it in a remote server..
first thinngs first.. my bookmarks:

Report library part:
Now, the first step is creating a report library project.. Then a telerik report is created. i used the report wizard and used an SqlDataSource as the data source. My select query contains a parameter:
SELECT ...
FROM  ...  
WHERE TableStudent.ID = @StudentID
The report also contains a parameter with the same name. 
The constructor for the report is something like that:
        public ReportStudent(int studentID)
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.ReportParameters["StudentID"].Value = studentID;
            this.StudentDataSource.Parameters[0].Value = studentID;
            this.StudentDataSource.SelectCommand =           this.StudentDataSource.SelectCommand.Replace("@StudentID", studentID.ToString());
        }

Web app part:
In the web app which is going to view the report, i added a report viewer from the toolbox, but left the report property unassigned.  In the web page, the user selects a student, then presses a button and the report for the selected student is viewed inside the report viewer.
The button click event code is as follows:
protected void ButtonReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Session["StudentID"] != null &&
                !(((string)Session["StudentID"]).Trim().Equals("")))
            {
                ReportViewer viewer = (ReportViewer)this.ReportContent.Controls[0];
                ReportStudent report = new ReportStudent(Int32.Parse((string)Session["StudentID"]));
                viewer.Report = report;
                viewer.RefreshReport();
            }
        }

The above scenario works perfectly..
When deploying to the remote server, change the connection strings accoringly in:
  • Web.config of web app
  • Settings.settings and app.config for the report library.
Besides,  add the telerik libraries shown in the figure. (By the way, i am not sure if this list is minimal or not...)










and finally, here is telerik relevant portions of my web.config:
