Previewing RDL without Designer

Folks,
Is there a way to preview the "RDL" Reports programatically without
deploying to the report Server.
We needs this ability for the creation of ad-hoc reports where user designs
the contents of the report...
Any idea...? Appreciated...!
RakeshWith the new controls in local mode you can do this. The next beta for
Widbey (Visual Studio) will have both a web and winform control. They will
work both with and without Server. In local mode you can give it the rdl and
the dataset. The next beta should be available before too long. There is no
other way available until then.

I am working on something similar at the moment, and have had reasonable
results using the following.
Use the webservice interface to temporarily create a hidden folder, Create a
report from the RDL, render the report, then delete the report and folder.
All these actions are available through the SOAP interface. Its long winded
but does seem to work fine.

It has a control for viewing locally.
