Formatted reports What is the best option?

Question

User97634337 posted

Hi Guys,

I require some advice on creating the best solution for a formatted report that could pring on command.

For example, If i want to Print an Invoice, Goods Receipts note etc. All of these are pretty standard Reports that the format won't change a lot.

Would It be a good thing to deploy one RDL to handle these types of reports and print them?

What would be the best option for deploying such a technology? Or should I just use Crystal reports as a viable option?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jacques

I use SSRS and in my asp.net I often use the ReportViewer....it should fit your requirement perfectly.

Cool, I do not neccesarly want the user to see the Report before printing. So would this be a viable solution?

Oh, I see. Out of the box, I don't think that will be possible with the reportviewer. I took a quick look at your link...that might just be the answer.

just try to follow the steps in below link:

http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/109/posts/11174/generating-and-exporting-ssrs-reports-programatically-using-report-viewer-control.aspx

that helps you to generate a report programatically, you can later use the buffer byte to print that rather then displaying them on users browser.
