Ok, not with a ten foot pole.. Seriously? Apache's FOP is amazing, we've been working with it for documentation and reporting for a over a year now. I'm very much planning on using it in our .NET project too.
On a side note, I specifically asked Mr. Box (and maybe he can comment further if he's reading) about the lack of XSLT:FO.. I can't quote him, but he essentially told me that XSLT wasn't something Microsoft finds all that valuable. I'd LOVE to see more FO implementations. It's a really powerfull tool. If someone starts a managed FO project.. let me know. ~Phill -----Original Message----- From: Erick Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 5:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Using XML/XSLT to generate WinForm reports I would really like to use XML and XSLT to generate reports for viewing in a WinForm application. However, I can't find a good solution to show the resulting report. It seems like XML-FO with a PDF or RTF output format would be best, but all the projects out there are Java, which I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole. I could embed a WebBrowser Ax control and show the report as HTML, but that doesn't have a lot of appeal for me, mainly due to the interop. Can anyone think of a better solution? On a related note, it seems like someone with some Java knowledge could port these over to C# fairly quickly (J# -> IL -> C#). Is anyone moving Java projects to C# like this? I would do that for jfor if I know my way around Java better.
