Hi!

Does anyone know if it's possible to get an report printed using the Firebird database
It seems to be very good for using with embedded databases, but i can't find any good free
report liberys to use with it.

Does anyone know one

    you can always do html based reports.

    Anything that you find that is ado.net compatible should work.

    Does reporting services come with SQL Server 2005 Express maybe thats one way to go.

    Hello!

    Thank to you all for your time and feedback!

    Not aware of any free reporting tools available for .NET I'm afraid and there are no reporting facilities in any of the Express editions. Most third-party vendors seem to charge an arm and a leg for these products, which would probably explain why there isn't anything available for free.

    There are a couple of third-party products that are relatively inexpensive compared to Crystal Reports, ActiveReports and VSView:

    That being said, SQL Developer can be purchased for US$35.

    You can always put the onus on your customer to buy fully licensed SQL server.

    Hello!

    I do have an ado.net provider, but i guess that crystal reports are going to cost me, and since i'm doing this as an hobby, i don't have the means to buy it. It would be best if i could find something that is licensed gpl/lgpl.



  • Joe Albahari

    If you have an ado.net provider for firebird, you should be able to use crystal

    Hi!

    What i mean is that i would like, from my app written in .net, be able to write an report over all entries that match any given criteria. And to get it printed on paper so it looks good.
