dotnet faqs : Which development approach should I choose

Hi,

Here are a project tasks I have and would like to share it with you to see
which approach would be the best for developing this project - cost and time
saving.

I need to develop an application that does the following:
The application is suppose to create a customized printing. Based on user
provided data it will know how to construct the page to be printed and show
a print preview. The data can come from different clients in any format
(maybe xml format would be the best?) and each one of them might have
different data and might need different print format. The application is to
take the data from the user and store it in a database and based on that it
will construct the print page. Data from the customer would have field
information such as actual printing location on the page and the data to be
printed. The data might be a text or image or barcodes...
I would prefer to developed some application that will give the user the
option to format and customize a template for the pages he would like to
print. Then he would be able to choose the template to be printed and start
the printing job. Maybe there are some articles that might guide me on this?


Thanks

Hi,

It seems that using Crystal Report is a good solution. The user can develop
his own templates and generate .rpt files and you can then use them to
construct the page to be printed.
