Hi Ryan,
For the report you want to present, I think the SQL Server reporting
service is quite good for present such summary data. And the Matrix data
region in Reporting Service is the exact one that can present the data view
you want. You can have a look at the following reference:
#SQL Server 2005 Books Online Working with Matrix Data Regions
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157334.aspx
#Reporting Services - Getting the Matrix to Display Two Subtotals for the
Same Group
http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/liz/2...sGettingTheMat
rixToDisplayTwoSubtotalsForTheSameGroup.aspx
Also, if you do not want to install reporting service, and only want to
present such a report in your client application, Visual Studio 2005 has
provided a reportviewer control(for both ASP.NET and winform application)
that can display client report(use the same template syntax as Sql server
reporting service report). Here are some useful articles discussing on
using ReportViewer control of VisualStudio 2005:

Hope this helps. If you have any more specific questions on this, please
feel free to post here.
