I'm in a bit of a sticky situation and was hoping some of you coders faced something similar. I'm a system administrator for a certain software at a company. Due to stupid arrangement, I'm technically under the Marketing department with no affiliation to the IT help desk. Only reason this is important is that its difficult for me to exp...

I am attempting to render the webviewer in the controller (webViewer.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter) and then put the results into Vi...
I just learn Ruby, and i wonder how to generate Reports and Invoices (with Logo, adressfield, footer, variable number of invoice-items (sometimes resulting in more than one page), carry over of the amount to pay from one page to the next, free-floating 2-column text (left-and-right-justified) below the resulting cash-informations). Curr...

Say I have an application that used an ORM (I am thinking of nHibernate or LINQ to Entities) for data access. How do I provide my users with the ability to do reporting against the properties of my objects? All the end user report designers I know of talk directly to a database, but I don’t like having to repeat logic in reports that ...
Regarding reporting services 2005: I want to sum the field of a measure. If I sum 0.234 + 0.441 and format the sum to 2 digits after the point it will give 0.7. Because I format in the same way the field itself it shows 0.2+0.4=0.7. It says I have to do the sum by adding the rounded field each time. The only way I found to round a number...
Let's say you have a bunch of MySQL tables, and you want your end users to be able to generate reports with that data with a PHP script. You can present the field names from those tables in a dropdown, so a user might be able to say, "first_name equals John." Great. But what if you want those field names to be a little more readable? For...
I'm currently refactoring a console application whose main responsibility is to generate a report based on values stored in the database.

Is there a neat way to access a BIRT report's datasets to add/modify some filters. I know I can just change the XML(rptdesign) file but I'm hoping for a java method or something. By the way, I'll access it through PHP-Java Bridge because my front-end is on PHP. ...
Report design, generation and maintenance isn't hard, but it is dull. We have a number of legacy (to quite different degrees of legacy) reports in Crystal Reports XI. These are designed for A4/PDF - not necessarily printed, but to be of a predictable layout and there's no possibility of us retiring them any time soon. All connect to ex...
Hi all. I've got an SSRS report that I'm dynamically writing to an HTML page. The report looks great in IE, but it keeps none of its formatting in Firefox. I've done a bit of research on this, and found that I can insert rectangles inside of all of my matrix data fields, which will keep the formatting. This seems to me like a lot o...
Has anyone ever tried that? ...

I want to print, email and write to PDF very simple reports. The reports are basically a list of items, divided in various sections/columns. The sections are not necessarily identical. Think newspaper. I just wasted a solid 2 days of work trying to make this kind of reports using JasperReports. I find that Jasper is great for outputing ...
