Question

I am at the moment working on a project on Visual Studio 2010 using C#.

One of my main tasks is to print invoices with a pretty strict layout, that is, some elements have to be positioned precisely say 3 mm from each other.

I had realized this project a long time ago using Access and its report framework, and it was quite useful because it allows page footers, report footer and so on.

I wanted to know what technology I should use in this case. I’m thinking about using Crystal Reports but I don’t know if I should use the Microsoft Reporting framework instead.

Could you give me some advice, and if possible, suggest me a good tutorial about that technology?

For example, do you know any specific features one of them has?

What about deployment? Any of them is easier to handle?

I am looking to do something similar and I have been playing around with this Free Library as well as this one too
