You'll get the knee-jerk "use Crystal, dude"...
but you'd do very well to take a look at ActiveReports by DataDynamics
(
http://www.datadynamics.com/default.aspx). IMHO ActiveReports is perfect
for anyone wanting to programmatically work with reports. I has no
proprietary scripting language and is much more straight-forward to work
with than Crystal. You can bind reports to any practically anything in .NET
that is bindable - including your custom collections and of course the usual
gang of suspects (DataSet etc).

Hi all
Which reporting tool should I use in VS2005 if I want to report on a
collection of objects rather than a Dataset?
I have components to do all of the databinding + object fetching etc, I
just need to know which reporting tool I should use within my app rather
than running one in SQL Server.
Thanks
Pete
