   So complicated. Why not use RAQ Report? With it, users can print reports easily.

   Fist of all you have to learn how to program, but I think it's better that you learn how to read.

   Simple, I hope, question - What and how do I add the "Library" to my C# VS2005 project?

   I.m new to C# and VS 2005.  This is my first project.  ReportPrinting appears to be just what I was looking for, but it doesn't run in VS 2005, yet I can execute the ReportDocumentTesting.exe from within the Debug directory.

   Thank you,

   Jim

   Borland Delphi and Borland C++Builder users often ask us, “Which report generator to choose: either FreeReport or FastReport 2.*, or FastReport 3.*?”, “Why FastReport 2 and FastReport 3 both are available for registration?”
   
   We are always glad to help you with your choice. Moreover, everything is rather simple – answer some questions and the choice will be obvious.
   
   So:
   
   1.    Are you going to create application programs with report generator functions only for Windows? (in that case we advise you to decide only between FreeReport and FastReport 3)
   2.    Do you write free programs, go in for programming as a hobby – for yourself and do not intend (not plan yet) that this occupation will bring you profit? (in that case we advise you to use FreeReport –  a fully free solution, which even now has a more serious functionality than most of commercial report generators for Delphi. And the availability of detailed documentation /that is absolutely unique for free product/ allows us to recommend this solution even to beginners in programming).
   3.    Do you intend to create cross-platform application programs or programs for Linux via using Borland Kyilx development framework? Or do you prefer application suite, which partially Linux-based, and partially MS Windows-based? (In that case FastReport 2.* CLX or FastReport 2.* CLX + FastReport 2.* VCL bundle – remarkable for the full compatibility; moreover, FastReport 2.* VCL supports a great number of capabilities peculiar to MS Windows platform - will suit you.
   4.    Do you use high technology in your work, know XML advantages? Are you interested in multithreaded report building? Do you need the full set of functions that report generator possesses (beginning with turning of the text to any angle and floating of the text from one block to another and ending with export filters precisely set in different formats including such as PDF, HTML, XLS etc. and report servers creation for distributed corporative applications <detailed comparison table is here >? (Then the entire spectrum of FastReport 3 solutions is at your service)
   
   And some more additions:
   
   1.    FastReport 3 exists today only in VCL variant (that is why VCL is not pointed out in its name), whereas FastReport 2.5* exists both in VCL and CLX variants – that is why the variant in FastReport 2.5* name is pointed out obligatory.
   2.    There is no need to be afraid of becoming a “solution hostage” after choosing FastReport 2 or FreeReport. Both FastReport 2 and FreeReport contain built-in means for converting reports from FastReport 2 format into FastReport 3 format.
   3.    For all FastReport 2 and FastReport 3 users of earlier delivered variants a privileged transition to FastReport 3 (of any variants of delivering) for variation in prices is foreseen.
   4.    FastScript, which is delivered being included into FastReport 3 Standard and higher, may be used in applications and separately from FastReport 3.

   • added Delphi 4-7, 2005, C++Builder 4-6 support
     
   • added FastReport 3 (*.fr3) format support in report designer
     

     ????

   FreeReport is a reporting tool component. It consists of report engine, designer and preview. Its capabilities are comparable with that of Crystal Reports. It is written on 100% Object Pascal and can be installed in Delphi 4-7,2005 and C++Builder 4-6.
    This version of FreeReport is based on FastReport ver. 2.32.

   Hello,
   

   
   By now you probably figured it out, but you have to do something like this:
   

   
          dv = dt.DefaultView;
          SectionTable st = builder.AddTable(dv, false, 100.0f);
          st.SuppressHeaderRow = true;
          st.OuterPens = st.InnerPenHeaderBottom = st.InnerPenRow = null;
          builder.AddColumn("Col1", "", 1.5f);
          builder.CurrentColumn.RightPen = null;
          builder.AddColumn("Col2", "", 2.7f);
          builder.CurrentColumn.RightPen = null;
   

   
   I've been fighting with this library for the entire day, and I hope it helps you!

   controls and forms. Easily expandable library architecture.

    Hello all,
    

    
    I have a little .NET vs. VS 6 user control curiosity!  ^_^  any takers?  
    

    
    If I have a project that contains a user control that I made in VS6 and then want to convert it to VS.NET, can I still call the component /dll from within a test application that was created mainly in VB6?  Does anyone have exerience with the conversion of user controls - because when the project with the user control is converted to .Net, the user control code is totally gone in the .Net version of the project!
    

    
    Well a little insight would help me a long way!  
    Thanks guys,
    

    
    Maria
