Printing positioned text (Invoice printing)

[Sergio Montero]

I have a VB6 app that allow users to set up invoice formats indicating X and
Y position for each field (customer,total,etc). So when the format changes,
the user only needed to change the X,Y settings. When the invoice is printed
the app reads that settings and using the printer object send each field to
the position that was previously configured.

I'm working on the VB .NET version of that app, I already migrate the other
process and now I'll start working on the invoice set up.

Is there any way in VB.NET to add that functionality to my app so the users
have flexibility?

TIA

You could likely do the same or use a third party tool.

For example Reporting Services (included in the free SQL Server Express with
Advance Services) includes a report designer for end users (not sure 100% if
Report Builder is included in this edition) and not sure how good it is.
