Erick, TOTALLY NON .NET
We've had lots of success using the browser control and customizing print templates (Requires IE > 5.5). Not a dot net solution, but effective. If you can get past the print template quirks and security issues (setting margins on network printers), then all is good. We built the report viewer using WTL, XML and XSL. Email me off list if you'd like some details. //cm -----Original Message----- From: Erick Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 7:38 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.
