Custom Data Pre-Processing

Is there anyway I can send report properties to a custom
assembly which does all the work and passes back a dataset
that I can then bind to a report?
I've got to do some extensive pre-processing of the data,
which I couldnt really do with sql query alone, but I'd
still like to take advantage of all the other benefits of
sql reporting services.
Thanks in advance,
Weston WeemsYes, I think you can do this by writing a "Data Processing Extension" to
Reporting Services. There are examples and documentation in RS books on
line...
