Reports

[shers]

Hi,

I have almost finished working on a small application using VB.NET 2008 Express Edition as front end and SQL Server Express as back end. Now my next step is to generate reports for the application. Is there ANY way I could create reports in VB.NET Express Edition? Please help.

Thanks

That depends exactly what you mean by a report. There is no reporting component distributed with VB Express so you can either buy something or do it yourself. The more basic the output the easier the second option will be.

Yes, the output is very basic. If I buy Crystal Reports XI, will it be compatible with VB.NET 2008 Express Edition?

Thanks
