Q: 

Creating a standards based ReportViewer Pivot Alternative

I'm interested in recreating some of the ReportViewer functionality - possibly something via regular GridView or something similar.

My two main requirements:

  1. Pivot functionality - as seen on the ReportViewer matrix
  2. Standards based design - maybe adding ids/classes on the backend based on the results

Also - I will be pulling data form a db via a dataset so all I really would need to do is format the raw dataset into an intuitive pivot.

What's the best practice? Should this be even done in ASP.NET/C# or would SSRS/SQL be a better alternative?
