Alternative to Crystal Reports in ASP.NET

Hi there,

I was wondering if you guys could help me out regarding the scenario I
am in...

Whenever I write an asp.net application in the office, I tend to save my
codes in a Dev Server. This server contains crystal reports, which is
not available on my work's qa and production server. I've got full
control of the Dev server, but on the QA and Prod server, I could only
upload my web apps and not be able to install plugins or any other dlls
needed by my application.

Given the case, I am now looking for any alternative that would allow my
web application to generate a report without asking for crystal report
dlls or any other file, and would be easier to deploy.

Please advise. Thanks a million!

Regards,
Ann

Is there a reason for not using the basic datagrid ?

I have a transaction log file where the DataSet table's Description column is actually delimited into "subcolumns" based upon the transaction id. I would like to parse these into separate fields for reporting purposes and am wondering if anyone knows if this is easily accomplished using the .NET version of Crystal Reports? For example, the description column may be reporting on a dataentry error as follows: TXNCODE: 1010001

I've used Crystal Reports for years and whilst it's been a love-hate relationship, it does it job. But I think it's become rather bloated over time and I have one big issue with it - the installation on a web server requires installation of a huge MSI which puts stuff all over the web server, not just in the web folder. This is fine (well fine-ish) if you host your own server but I'm developing an application at the moment which we'd...

Hi, Just wondering what a good book is on visual studios 2008 ( or 2005 if no 2008 ) that teaches you how to properly use crystal reports with it. Or im assuming that as long as I can create a dataset and link it to a reportviewer than any Crystal Report book will do. I use vb.net but im assuming most books would show you vb and c

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
