Does anyone know of a Reporting Engine for WPF? Most of the ones I could find are still for WinForms. I'm happy enough using a WinForms one in WPF with a WinForms host so long as the tool has a UserControl that can be embedded in a window.

My project requires a background thread to initiate the creation of a WPF control hosted in a Winform. The creation of said control must be performed on the foreground thread, which is very costly and causes the UI to hang for 1 to 2.5 seconds (depending on whether this is the first time the control is created). Are there any pre creat...
