eramgarden Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 If you find out, post here as well I'm working with that "piece of crap" now, what a pain.. Quote
mike55 Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 Hi all For those banging there heads against the wall with crystal, there is an alternative reporting tool being provided by data dynamics at http://www.datadynamics.com. The tool is: ActiveReports for .NET Support. It works very well, so far, when exporting reports to PDF, not sure about other formats. The only catch is that you have to pay for it...but so far i think it may be worth it. Am going running more tests on it, will let you know how i get on with it.

Tamer_Ahmed Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 hi i think SQL Server Reporting Services is great reporting tool for .net languages Quote
Moderators Robby Posted October 4, 2004 Moderators Posted October 4, 2004 As Tamer just mentioned; SQL Server Reporting Services is a great reporting tool. I find this to be the best tool out there, you can even import your Access reports into the reporting manager (excluding any code-behind). This book is a great read Professional SQL Server Reporting Services Quote Visit...Bassic Software

Eng Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Does that tool have the PIVOTING capabilities? We are looking for reporting tool with this sort of functionality. ET Quote
eramgarden Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Someone bought the SQL Server reporting thing here: 1. Is there a licensing involved ?? 2. Mike55: how is http://www.datadynamics.com? any good? I might download the trial one .. is it worth it? Quote
mike55 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Posted October 14, 2004 Someone bought the SQL Server reporting thing here: 1. Is there a licensing involved ?? 2. Mike55: how is http://www.datadynamics.com? any good? I might download the trial one .. is it worth it? Hi, Downloaded the trial version of their reporting tool, got on pretty well with it. However was not allowed to use it in my project due to orders from the higher powers that be. But personally, if i had the money to spare I would seriously thing about buying the licence for it. Furthermore I felt that the support provided by the forums on the site were pretty good. Hope this helps. On a further note, finally got the S.O.B. Crystal working can send you on some of the code + steps I followed if you want. Mike55. Quote A Client refers to the person who incurs the development cost.

eramgarden Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Mike- I got 16 of my "S.O.B" CR :D working..found some online examples and suffered a lot thru it.. but one or 2 timeout. I wonder if it's the sql behind it , or what.. So I stopped and not sure if I should contiue or look into something else.. any thoughts..could be because of amount of data being pulled back? if so, what to do in that case? Quote

You could be correct on the timeout errors being with the SQL, have set the timeout with the crystal reports to 240secs myself. The reporting tool at datadynamics is pretty good provided you've got the money. Mike55 Quote A Client refers to the person who incurs the development cost.

EFileTahi-A Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) Is this Activereports .NET better then the full Crystal Reports 10? Edited January 18, 2005 by EFileTahi-A Quote
kejpa Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Active Reports is great, I've used it and it works swell. Both with SQL and non SQL bound reports. Currently I'm looking at ComponentOne's alternative, in order to cut back on the number of 3rd party controls we've decided to try ComponentOne's .NET Studio suite. My 2c... /Kejpa Quote
HardCode Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I searched "All Products" at Microsoft to check the cost of licensing the tool before I spend time trying it out, but it doesn't come up in either the search or by browsing all products in alphabetical order. Does anyone know how much it costs? Quote
