forest demon - 22 Feb 2008 02:37 GMT
does anyone have a good source for doing reports in web pages?  i've
searched and serached and found a few examples but when i try these
for the part stuff doesn't work like expected. i've seen pretty
screenshots of results that people are getting. that's great and all,
but some steps would be nice. ultimately i'd like to get some pie and
bar charts working on a web page, but to no avail. i get close, but no
workie.

an example source would be absolutely lovely!

any help is appreciated....

thanks to all...

Hello forest,

What did u try to use?
I'd recommend to use Crystal Reporting, or SQL Server Reporting

sever side reporting is not an option for me and i want to stay as far
away from crystal reports as possible.

i want to use the ReportViewer control that's part of VS 2005.

Hello forest,

Then as were recommended - CSS, XSLT and create whatever u like :)
But in your case I'd actually used Silverligh then.

Btw, why the server repoting is not the case for u?

nevermind, i know how to use dhtml, but all i really want to use is a
ReportViewer control for a page, which everyone wants to avoid for
some reason.

glad i could be some comic relief for some of you.

Comic relief ? Well, I had a chuckle.
But that does not make you a fool, nor you problem solved.

Maybe you are in the wrong newsgroup?

That ment that for your question, it is somewhat off-topic in this one.
I laughed as I thought that no-one will help you.

Not out of spite, but this is a forum about see-sharp, not reporting.

But dear Mr. Gump (joke intended), please stick around, as this is the best
of all channels of all of microsoft newsgroups.

Happy Reporting

ok then, please let me beg for your obvious expertise in c#.net and
USENET.

searching this group shows 89 hits related to ReprtViewer. none of
which helps
me in my plight. and since my project is a .NET project using c#, i
figured this
was a good place.

with that in mind, what box of chocolates(groups) with thy holy one
recommend?
please share with us peasants, please....

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't reportviewer using the same kind of
technology that sql server reports are using?

And if you're using C# and .NET, but you do not want server-side
reporting, what *exactly* do you want then?

Client-side reporting? Meaning you'll dump a lot of data and
javascript/java/silverlight to the client and have the browser figure it
out? If that is so, then I suggest you use one of the newsgroups related
to those pieces of technology.

Or perhaps you can be more specific about what the problem is with
"server-side reporting" and why you want to use reportviewer.

Have you tried ReportViewer? Do you have a question about it that is
more specific than "I want to use it"?

Personally I've had great success with both Report Sharp-Shooter and
DevExpress XtraReports, both of which are server-side controls which
does all the processing on the server and them dumps html to the client.

And just for the sake of the argument, sarcasm won't get you very far.

sorry, i've always been one to stick up for myself when someone else
starts throwing stones first.  this was the first time i've had
someone
act like a jerk/smart a.s to me on this particular group.

peace...

You'll find that many people, me included, act as jerks or smartasses
all the time.

However, in this particular thread I don't even know what you're
referring to, as nothing I could gather from the first post you replied
somewhat miffed to looks anything like a jerk or smartass reply.

The only thing that remotely looks like it could "give him a chuckle"
would be the smily.

But perhaps I missed something about that post.

So you found 89 off-topic threads and are confused about not getting a
proper answer?

Now you are just being silly. I am not holy and you are not a peasant.
I was just teasing you. Not throwing rocks.

Just a fast poll.
XSL-T is great for turning xml into xml.

But anyone doing XSL-T to emmit html, is in fact,
doing the work of satan. Agreed?
