Generate report/graphs/... to print in c# / WPF / .net 4

Question

I'm doing a application to manage volunteers of a fest.

I've only one more thing to do: Generate documents which can be printed.

I'm searching something to generate theses reports.

My needs: -Mostly print graphics calendars with some "event" in them -Generate some letters -Print lists

What can I use to do this?

It would be better if I can do a preview of this, but this isn't mandatory.

Thank you!

Answer 1

In fact I'm creating my own WPF components which I print. It worked like a charm.

Answer 2

I recommend XtraReports. They look good and have helped alleviate the pain of writing my own previewer/printer/exporter, etc. See http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Reporting/index.xml

You could use Microsoft Report Viewer.

Take a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb656295%28v=office.12%29.aspx

It is a technique that helps you much to generate office 2007 files! I have done a very beautiful and clean digest with it, And it was easy and fast and free!

Except that you need a Word 2007 to edit your generated files.

For doing the calendar you can take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar

Then generate your iCal file, then import it in a calendar like google calendar or outlook or another thing that supports ical and then print it!

wish this helps
