can i develop on a different machine?

I have just installed reporting services on our web server and am able
to create report projects from there, but I don't generally create
visual studio projects on the web server. I use a development machine
that does not have IIS installed. Is there any way to create report
projects on my development machine and point it to the report server?
I can't find any information on this, all of the examples I find tell
me to open a new report project, but the template only exists on the
report server. Is there some client tool I need to install?When you installed on the web server you installed both server and client
tools. Normally you would not have VS installed on the production machine
and only install the server part. Although it can be handy to be developing
on a machine that has both installed it is not necessary. When you preview a
report in VS it is not using IIS. Just install the client tools from the RS
installation on a machine that has Visual Studio on it.
