It works for me, too, although some of the samples don't work on IIS (due to the use of libgda, but that can be avoided). I didn't notice the PInvoke issue myself, because I'm only doing web-based projects. More work without having a GUI tool for designing the reports, but this, but it's still a viable alternative. I'm going to explore the use of this for our mono version. Thanks for the pointer. ...
