    On the subject of knowing .NET and T-SQL, I have to say that I know enough VB.NET to be able to read it, and enough C# to recognize it, but not much beyond that.

    Excellent comments Gus, and I agree. On the quoted part, I would fall into this same category. Help (F1, Intellisense, google) is my best fiend when dealing with .NET.

    That being said, if you're going to be working in SSRS (or CLR programming), you really do need to learn at least the basics of .NET (if I remember correctly, in SQL 2005, it is VB.NET; while in SQL 2008 it can be either VB/C# .NET).
