Ok, I know Silverlight does not have reporting capabilities and I am developing a system with numerous reports.  I am utilizing SQL Server Reporting Services and when I was initially going to develop the system in ASP.NET, I noticed there was a MicrosoftReportViewer control that I could drop into the page.

If you have a Silverlight application, can you have a couple of pure aspx pages in there that I could use for the reporting?  Should I have a separate web application specifically for reporting?  Any feedback and answers or suggestions and recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

I actually just did a seminar on SSRS and Silverlight.  You can view webinar here:  http://magenic.com/Default.aspx?tabid=635 and download the source code (sample app) here: http://sergeybarskiy.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2383900F69B808E0!368.entry

We are experimenting with a .NET SSRS control hosted on Silverlight page. Looks like it is going to produce a nice end-user experience.
