I need a very simple reporting in my VB .NET app, like old days

  • 0

I need a very simple reporting in my VB .NET app, like old days HTML pages: few colored headers, images, tables and texts. The problem is I really don’t know where to start, more precisely which (reporting) tool? Should I dig on native Microsoft reporting tool? Another option is to use a webbrowser component and to try to display some in-memory generated page.

Asking because I use MySql and I already wrote my procedures to populate dgv, combos programatically so I haven’t any datasources, dataset, dataadapters, etc. Just executing queries and fill datatables.

Thanks for your comments,

    When working with small and simple reports I can recommand iTextSharp. I used it to generate a basic .pdf-Report with some Labels, text and graphics It’s easy and capable for most things. It’s free for non-commercial usage.

    Additionally spotted this Alternative from iText which seems to convert Xml->Pdf. Might be worth a try, too?
