I've never used Reporting services but as I userstand it, it is a way to have SQL Server attach data to your report definition file for you. I believe the report files in this case are ".rdc" files. But you can use the technology without SQL Server by using an ".rdlc" file and attaching data to the file in code.

I will see if I find it. Didn't know about this one.
