Are there any client side report writers for Silverlight

Question

I am thinking of creating a Silverlight application that keeps on the data on the client. Are there any report writers that will run within a Siverlight application.

(I wish to use Silverlight rather then WPF as it is more likely a customer will already have Siverlight installed, and it works on Macs)

Answer 1

Again, try SharpShooter by Perpetuum. The workflow involves sending data to the server for report generation, then it is sent back to the client in pdf, word, etc format for display. I don't know if that's too server heavy for your needs but the process is quite fast for moderate amounts of data and you can't tell it's being round-tripped. Hth.
