This is the basic idea behind GNOME-DB Reports. We have (in development) gda-report that manages the report creation and exec. We create a .xml file that follows our DTD (look at libgda/gda-report/) Then, we need to add a front-end widgets inside libgnomedb to create those reports as glade does with interfaces (I was thinking on glade3 to implement this feature). Santi Camps is developing now the libgda code based on the initial DTD we defined some years ago. > > This would be a great opportunity for some company or some person to come > forward with a reporting system for .NET.

I don't know the GNUe reports status. The gnome-db reports will be something like Crystal Reports ones. When I started with them I took Crystal Reports as the start point. Cheers. P.S.: As long as I know gnome-print does not work with Windows... > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Miguel de Icaza > Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 10:56 AM > To: Jorge P�rez Burgos (Koke) > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Report and print systems. > > > Hello, > > > Congratulations for the new release.
