The built in support for Crystal Report which is included in the default installation of Visual Studio 2005 uses the various new features of the Visual Studio 2005 IDE.  The report created is aesthetically pleasing, highly functional, besides being board-room friendly.  The generated report supports tasks such as printing, exporting to various formats, as well as searching for text in the report.  As the tutorial demonstrates, reports can be generated without any coding effort on the part of the developer and the reports generated can be reused by deploying in other ways, such as through web servers and web services.
