    I am creating an application that will generate several reports. Could you please suggest some third party report creation software. I have used DevExpress's XtraReports and was not happy with them so am interested in other ways/software for creating reports using either C# or .NET Cheers

      I still think Crystal is the best of a bad bunch, but Microsoft Reporting Services for SQL is growing on me. Michael CP Blog [^]

        Active reports from datadynamics is pretty good. Nice and cheap too. Ryan.

        It's yet another shock to our system to discover that not only are we not the centre of the Universe and we're not made of anything, but we started out as some kind of slime and got to where we are via being a monkey. It just doesn't read well.

            I have been looking at DevExpress's XtraReports as well. You stated you were not happy with them. Can I ask what kind of problems you encountered?

              ActiveReports is great. ComponentOne Report.Net is OK but somewhat buggy imho.

                When creating a report i found that the controls moved around alot when i run it depending upon how much text I placed in labels (and i dont mean multiline labels either) and it with difficult to control the displaying of subreports.

                  Thanks for the suggestions, DataDynamics Active Reports where among a few i had alreay downloaded to evaluate and after spending a day using them I must agree that they are the best reports I have used so far.
