Can this be used as a replacement for Crystal Reports?

I am not familiar with this tool. Can I create reports that can be run
from a C# application with parameters passed to it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.VS 2005 has two new controls: winform and webform. The controls can be used
in local or server mode. In server mode you give it the parameters and call
the server which the control then shows the rendered report. In local mode
you give it the report and the tableset data. However, you have to do lots
more work to handle subreports and other types of reports. My feeling is, if
you plan on not having a server around that Crystal reports is designed more
along the lines of your app providing the data. Reporting Services is
designed as a service oriented architecture and although in local mode you
can give it the data, it was not designed with that in mind. With a server
in the picture then the answer is absolutely yes.
