SSRS - Rdl Object Model approach validity to genrate .rdl file on the fly

Hi Kunal,

After providing an unsupported but working RDL Object Model in SQL Server 2008, Microsoft discontinued it in SQL Server 2008 R2. The workaround suggested was to use the object model in the Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer.Controls.dll assembly which has the following shortcomings:

1. It is 32-bit only

2. Requires 25 dependent assemblies

3. Doesn't provide a way to serialize the generated report definition.

The assemblies are not documented because Microsoft doesn’t support customers using them. So, it is still recommended that you use XMLDocument to generate RDL programmatically.
