What is the most popular web-based reporting tool used with asp.net? Is it Crystal reports? I suppose it needs to do a dump in either PDF, HTML (for e-mailed invoices e.g.) or perhaps a raw format like CSV. Do people roll their own?
I can't tell you about the most popular, but I have used both Crystal Reports and Sql Server reporting services and must say I like reporting services a lot. There is a lot of flexibility and it is free with Sql Server 2005 Express Advanced. Has has the ability to export all the formats you mentioned. Check it out!

Hi,
I would also suggest you use the ReportViewer control on the ASP.NET.
The ReportViewer control is a Visual Studio data control that you can add to a Web page in an ASP.NET application project, or to a form in a Visual Basic Windows application. The control embeds report processing and viewing capabilities directly into your application. It also provides an integrated design environment so that you can build client report definitions (.rdlc) using data from any ADO.NET data object. A full-featured API provides programmatic access to the control and reports so that you can configure report functionality at run time.
Here are some samples and walkthourghs for the ReportViewer control.
