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...

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

i want to use the ReportViewer control that's part of VS 2005.
Michael Nemtsev [MVP] - 22 Feb 2008 03:10 GMT 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?

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 - Michael Starberg

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....

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.

peace...

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.

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