Contrary to popular belief, you can run.net report engine even if it’s not on the SQL server. These can function on other data sources such as the web service or the business objects.

In order for you to make the.net report engine run, you should create a new Windows Form that allows you to view your report. You can do so by clicking on the Report Viewer. This little pop up will then tell you whether you can continue with the process or not. If there is an error, you have to correct some of the codes you punched in. Other wise, you will be spending a lot of time re-doing what was already done.

You can choose a table from the data source and the data base. Get the birt reporting engine because this will let you export the information that were published in previous reports and automatically input these in the report that you are doing now. You can click on the Create Report and start exporting.

After doing these, go back to the Windows Form of the.net report engine and set the report property of the report viewer control to your new report. Again click preview so that you can see how it looks like. If it is possible for you to run the App do so in order for you to get a feel of what the report looks like.

Now that you are the one making the report, you have to remember to use layman’s terms. You don’t need to confuse the audience by using jargon that they can’t understand. You also have to make your report as entertaining and engaging as possible. Do this by maximizing the panning and zooming option that comes with the.net report engine.

Finally, the information that you have on your report should be accurate because this is what people believe. Just because you have a program that can create the report for you, it does not mean that you will be lax in coming up with the data. You can do this by double checking the information from the previous report and seeing whether this is accurate with the report that you are doing now. You can distribute this on the application and see if these are somehow coherent.

If you run these on.net report engine and in runtime, you will realize that you are defining the data source not only for the report but also for the layout. This is then stored in the local report file that is placed in an xml format. You can adjust this to the format of your choice. There is a lot to learn when you’re using.net report engine for the first time. But if you are an expert in Flash, then this will be a breeze for you because it uses the same steps in Flash.

If not, we strongly advice you to attach the engine with the SQL Server Reporting Services because this is a licensed program that can deliver reports from centralized corporate center. Along with the.net report engine, you will be creating reports in no time.
