Question

I’m using some old Table Activex with Report / printing and even graphics to easy create useful reports. It’ looking like that (Look pictures in the bottom of message)

But using so heavy ActiveX controls for it is a bit weird way. Is there something free like that for .NET Winforms ? Something to display the printable report based on my table.
