Reports over internet

Hello,

I have a very general question about Reports on internet.

I am a long time user of Crystal Report included in Delphi apps, but I have no experience with web design.

I'd like to have some general information about what reporting over the web means. Basically, I want to be able to generate a report on the server and viewing it in a browser or in a normal CR Viewer. I plan to use .NET C# as development environment and latest CR2008.

What this means as 'server'? How the parameters can be send to the .rpt files? Can I have a 'normal' app on the client side?

Thanks for any points,

Ioan
