From: Geoff Schaller on 25 Oct 2009 17:23 Ginny, What is wrong with the reportViewer Control for MS SQL Server. It executes rdlc reports without the need for a reporting server installed anywhere and works directly off MS SQL. We have multiple data set reports being called from VO or C#. Hence you have the full power of MS Reporting Services without needing a report server. Is this what you mean?

From: Ginny Caughey on 25 Oct 2009 17:40 Hi Geoff, Actually I do use the MS reportViewer control already for reports I've created, and I agree it works well and fast! What I need is something end users can use to create their own reports though. I tried both fyiReporter and Fast Reports. Of the 2, I'd probably prefer Fast Reports (even though the redistributable version I'd need would be about $400) because you can just write C# (or VB) in the report writer - only I pretty much have that covered already. But for my users, I think the free fyiReporter would probably work better, so I spent about a half hour changing the C# source very slightly to use the same connection string as my apps from a config file and added it as a menu option from my VO app. My staff liked fyiReporter pretty well, although not as well as Crystal, and since they'll be the ones supporting it... -- Ginny Caughey www.wasteworks.com "Geoff Schaller" <geoffx(a)softxwareobjectives.com.au> wrote in message news:gl3Fm.49916$ze1.34082(a)news-server.bigpond.net.au... > Ginny, > > What is wrong with the reportViewer Control for MS SQL Server.

Ginny > No I'm not familiar with Fast Report. Is it a good one? Yes it is - you'll need Delphi/.NET to compile it. http://fast-report.com/en/ CYA Steve |
