Reports in ASP.NET

[+The_Taco+]

We need to print and generate reports from ASP.NET.

I have just realized that I cannot control printer setting from the
client-side, of course, so I was wondering what is the best way to create
and generate reports on the WEB.

I was thinking of PDF format but i'm not sure if it is the best way to do
it....

Anyone can help me?
Thx a lot.

If you have the $$, you can go the third party route, take a look at this.

You could use the brand new SQL Server Reporting Services:

I've said it before and I say it again Search for "ITextSharp" on the web,
its an open source PDF library I've used a number of times without any
problems.
