Microsoft's forthcoming SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 products will include functionality allowing developers to add business intelligence features to their applications, a Microsoft executive announced Friday.
With the new Visual Studio Controls for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, enterprise developers can add data from back-end systems to their applications without the need to build complicated connections to those systems, said Bill Baker, general manager for SQL Server at Microsoft.
