Reporting and visual studio express
-
Folks, I need to consider how to implement the reports feature of my ticketing system. The leading contenders are : The old fashioned way with writelines and manual page throws XSLT and XML GDI print API with CutePDF for printing WPF, XAML and XPS A Nuget/Entity framework offering http://doddlereport.codeplex.com/ for XBRL reports: http://gepsio.codeplex.com/ http://gotreportviewer.com/ http://www.reportingstandard.com/index.php/en/downloads Has anyone any solid recommendations that will deliver basic reports with a short learning curve? At the moment the leading contenders for the task and GDI or WPF but I am not entirely happy with either and would like to learn from your experiences. I am in the process of building a data view and template query. That should take a week or so, then I have to make a correction to my sales module where there is one column not being populated that I want to report on. Probably another week in that (Bearing in mind that a 'week' on this project is 6 to 9 hours in the calendar week).
