I am looking out for a good open source Reporting tool/framework for windows based application (WPF).

The database I am using is sql server 2005.

The typical reports format which I am interested is for e.g. Trial balance, balance sheet, etc (typical banking / finance reporting application).

There should be good support for charting as well.

If anyone has any experience with reporting for WPF application, your inputs will be highly appreciated.

As open source, this doesn't exist, at least not yet. It probably doesn't exist commerical offering either. The WPF component market is just getting started.

Since this may form part of the answer, I thought of putting this in the answer section. I just found this series of article WPF multipage reports.

Thought of putting this here as this may benefit some other learner. This article walks through creating a reporting framework for LOB Apps.

As the saying goes "A Bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush", I will have a deep look at this until something else comes up with something better :)

Did you end up implementing this solution? I'm in a similar boat and looking for a WPF reporting framework.

The solution at the provided link is not perfect, but its certainly better than most of the other stuff out there. It handles datagrids better than any other WPF-native solutions.
