About that reporting tool I asked about...
-
A while back I asked for a Crystal Reports alternative (unrelated to the question below): The Lounge[^] I got some very good responses from all of you. Their reporting tool works on the web and in the cloud in .NET 5+ applications, which was kind of a requirement. With that requirement in mind (and a few others), combit List&Label, Progress/Telerik and DevExpress made the shortlist. Ultimately, I decided to go with DevExpress because it got a lot of good reviews, it's probably the most well-known tool in the list and their support is great (as is my experience with DevExpress). I don't need it yet, but I told my client about it and we'll probably implement it later this year (after at least phase 1 of the project). Thanks for the tips everyone :thumbsup:

I've used DevExpress. I find wiring report fields, bands, header, footers, etc. "fatiguing". One request was to add comments at report "preview" time. That was fun. Unless you have a "lot" of canned reports, creating custom reports in UWP / WPF might be easier. Related story: I needed a "monitor" screen for my app; 6 topics / tabs; many fields. I'd have some 20 fields going until I decided to use a single textbox per page, with wrapping, spaced the columns etc. using a stringbuilder; looks great (Consolas). Knocked off the other pages in little time more. Runs at 24 fps with no flicker.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
