Hi,

I need to know if building custom reports for CRM 2011 is the same as for CRM 4.0 (using SSRS).

If not what are the main differences?

Any interesting links?

Thank you!

It' exactly the same, but there is other option in crm2011, using fetchxml for report writing.

To use fetch XML datasource, you need to install report authoring extensions.

here is comparison between sql and fetchxml reports

You can use fetchxml to create reports for on premise installation, all the inbuilt reports are nased on fetch xml

Here is another good link.

I suggest you read the SDK section "Reporting for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services". You can use everything you used in 4.0 version.

The Main Difference is that MS CRM Online Custom Reports are developed using FetchXml.

Hosted or On Premises does not have much difference to that of 4.0
