Hi An off-list reporting project used to be in the works. I started 2-3 years ago with an off-list reporting project - I tried to deliver 3 dlls, one to be used with Windows.Forms, one with wxControls, and one with Gtk#. I used compiler directives to determine which version of the DLL should be compiled.
By the time Mono 0.9 was released, I was able to get a few basic classes together for Windows Forms and Gtk#, and I managed to get the basic plumbing running on both Linux and Windows. A preview could be shown on-screen, and it could be printed. The report could be exported to HTML and PDF. The current state of the project is still far from production quality, but I still think the project has some potential. I wanted to have a good working prototype ready before I made it known, but then, personal circumstances led me not touching the probject for about a year, and I got out of touch with new developments on Mono as well. With the addition of System.Drawing.Graphics to Gtk#, my code actually requires a total restructure, so that loads of functions that used to be different to the separate platforms, should after a restructure be handled by a reference to a Drawing.Graphics canvas. I still have to find out whether wxControls.DC can be converted to a System.Drawing.Graphics canvas as well, - if not, that may prevent such a restructure. Anyway - things changed for me, and I dont think I will have time soon to spend on this anymore, so I decided to release the code rather than to have it die on my PC. Anyone that wishes to see/use my code, documentation and a small demo program can download a 760Kb zip file from: http://home.metroweb.co.za/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gesin/Willem/Willem.htm Anyone wishing to make a Sourceforge for this is welcome - I dont have the time to administer the project, so I never created a Sourceforge project.
