Mad Ape,

Perhaps this article describing how to use datasets with SQL Server
Reporting Services:
http://www.devx.com/dbzone/Article/31336

And here's information about using Crystal Reports with ADO.Net datasets:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communitycs/technicalpapers/rtm_reportingoffadonetdatasets.pdf.asp

Of coure both of these solutions would be desktop-based and not
device-based. For on-device reports, I just generate reports
programmatically and print it to a serial or bluetooth printer. Typically
these reports are pretty simple: they use SQL syntax to select the data,
then walk through it with a DataReader printing it as it's read.

The ReportViewer control (which does not need Reporting Services) can do the
job quite nicely. See http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3716691
I also wrote a long chapter about this control in my 7th edition.
