Hello everyone, What options are there in the industry for enterprise reporting? I'm currently using SSRS 2005, and know that there is another version coming out with the new release of MSSQL. But, it seems like it might also be a good time to investigate the market to see what else is out there. What have you encountered? Do you li...

Every programming job I've had has required me to track my hours, entering them into a system once a week. I've never been good at it. For the past few years, I've been running Timesnapper* on all my machines, and on the night before hours were checked I'd slog through the records and painstakingly enter the hours in. The alternative, o...

I am working on a project converting a "spreadsheet application" to a database solution. A macro was written that takes screen shots of each page and pastes them into a PowerPoint presentation.

We generate dynamic reports in all of our business web applications written for .Net and J2EE. On the server side we use ActiveReports.Net and JasperReports to generate the reports.

I need to find/create an application that will create employee web usage reports from HTTP proxy logs. Does anyone know of a good product that will do this? @Joe Liversedge - Good point. I don't have to worry about this, however, as I am the only person in my company with the know-how to pull off an SSH tunnel. ...
Perhaps I need to define "dynamic generation". By this I mean using graphics primitives to draw on the page (such as DrawText or DrawLine, etc) This is what System.Drawing.Printing provides. I often need to create forms and reports for Windows applications that either require dynamic generation or where I need control over the formattin...
When using an aggregate control in some reports you would prefer to see a blank field instead of 0. There does not appear to be a way to do this automatically. Does anyone have a way that this can be done. Note, you want to maintain the '0' value for the field in cases when you export, but you want to show a blank when rendering to PD...
Hi, I am working with Cognos8 Report Studio. In my report there are two date prompts, (1) START date, (2) END date. Users can select two different dates or two same dates. But the report has valid data only for last business date of each month. For example, if Jan 31 is Sunday, valid data is available only for Jan 29 which is Friday(las...

The Matrix in SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services 2005) seems to have issues with certain the border styles when exporting to XLS (but not PDF or web view; maybe other formats, not sure?). For example: Create a matrix and set the Matrix border style to Black Solid 1px, but all 4 of the cells to have a border style of Black None 1px. Whe...
I've used db4o with much success on many projects in the past. Over time it seems to have evolved greatly, and with modern trends like LINQ on everyone's tongue it has peaked my interest again, especially now that I know that it is starting to support transparent activation and persistence which intrigue me quite a bit, but a friend pose...
