    Hi, I am currently using DevExpress Reports. I just wanted to know if anyone used RDLC? Would you recommend it? Thanks,

      RDLC is the embedded version of SSRS. We have used these extensively in winforms and asp environment. There is no Silverlight RDLC viewer (well there is on but it is bloody expensive). We use the server version for our enterprise reporting needs. SSRS is one of the premier reporting platforms, but then so is DevExpress! Just don't get involved with crystal reports spit

        who's using crystal reports now! :thumbsdown: so let me ask you if you had to choose between DevExpress reports and RDLC, which one you'll choose and why? Also let me tell you about my scenario.. I am using MySQL backend with WinForm and from application, I want to allow the user to design their own reports or change existing reports using report designer. Thanks, Jassim

          I would choose RDLC but only because of familiarity. Possibly the support and examples may be more widespread. While I have deployed the report designer (many years ago) in 2 organisations they were NEVER used, the users always came back to the developer (me) to build the reports. The closest I ever got to user design was where they would dump a set of data to excel, fiddle with it and then get me to build the report.
