Questionin search of a better printing/reporting mechanism Pin

hi,


This should hopefully be my last question about my future hotel app.

The first time i built it, i made an insane amount of classes to encapsulate printing, and even then printing was messy.

I thought I could use crystal reports, but did a few tests and ran into some problems. It seems like its a nice thing when you want to just pull information straight from your database and print it but turns out pretty cumbersome when I want to use my own business objects as data for a report.

I know I can add a .NET object to the report via the database expert.But, there are problems when I need data from more than one object on a report. Also, I'm not quite sure how I could feed my own data to a chart in a report.

Is there any other printing/reporting scheme I can use? Or is there a particular design used with crystal reports, Printing is a very essential part of my app.

Thanks so much

Gideon
