Take into account that there are numbers of reports facilities - VS is
shipped with Crystal Reports engine, export data to Office, SQL Server Reports If your just interesting to provide smth light-weigh to your app look at this sample where Print is customized for WinForm control http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/printable_ListView_part1.asp -- WBR, Michael Nemtsev :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid."

Hi,
But I cannot use any of the today's reporting tools. I need to create a new one (just basic) for giving the user the ability to design their own data reports. Thanks, [quoted text, click to view] "Michael Nemtsev" wrote:

ActiveReports from DataDynamics has an end-user report designer. I haven't used it at all so can't say how it is, just saying they have it. We use ActiveReports--they get the job done, but we're not real happy with them (but when we did tests of several options they were the best solution at the time). One thing we've done in the past which made users very happy is create an MS Access front-end to our application. Users could download the MDB and it provided a small UI to choose what data they wanted. It downloaded the data locally and users could write custom reports within Access. Then with our custom UI they could update the data at any time. Users loved it and we loved not having to write a million reports. Good luck.
