Report Designer RDL Generator APIs

I'm just wondering - is there a way to use MS Report Designer's API's to
generate the actual RDL file with all groupings, sortings, etc., as it is
done using the Report Wizard. I know, there is an example to generate a
simple RDL file, using XmlTextWriter approach to generate a file manualy
from scratch, but when it comes to multiple groupings , it seems too complex
to achive that goal. The idea is to simulate web based report designer,
allow the end user to choose columns, group and sort fields and to generate
a report on fly.
Any ideas?
Thanks.No, nothing about this is documented. However, in RS 2005 there will be two
product, the current Report Designer and Report Builder. Report Builder is
an end user tool. Here are some links (note that RS 2005 comes out in
November).
