    I have just started learning SSRS. To create a report, the first exercise tells me to go to Visual studio > Visual Basic > windows forms application. As an aside, I also used C# in SSIS. So, I was wondering if one needs to know VB/C# or both

    well in order to become a serious SSRS developer. Is that correct ? How much is VB used in SSRS, if at all ?

    Thanks.

    You can extent basic SSRS capabilities by using custom code. This code is Visual Basic.

    Also, the expression language used in SSRS is Visual Basic.

    For normal reporting requirements, you don't need Windows Forms though.
