Env.: Reporting Services or XTraReport, SqlServer Express 2008 R2, VS2008, WinForms, C#
Hi All,
My WinForms app must send a customized letter to a bunch of people (whose contact info is in SqlServer). This is the typical job for Word Mail/Merge.
But I'd like to do it without Word installed on client computers. I'd rather use MS Reporting Services (or DevExpress XtraReport).
The problem is those tools allow me to put text boxes for name and address (that's fine) but they aren't real word processors. I need to embed custom fields in the flow of the text. This is easily done in Word but I can't find a way to do it in Reporting Services.
Note: I'm a newbie as far as reporting is concerned.
Please help,
TIA.
Serge.
