Report

[Juraj]

Hi All,

I need to write some simple reports to my new WPF app in core dialect. I was intrigued eNotes by P.Hepburn "ReportsNPrinting_81b". Has some "BestDocuments" class source code?

Hi Juraj,
I have Phil's BestDocument source, but he stated to me it is not for use, only as a case study when I still learned .net.

I can wrap some of my Vulcan data-driven code that should be enough to give you the basics of putting things on "paper". I encapsulated it in a @ Row, Col SAY ... styled methods that calculates how many characters and rows will fit on the remaining part of the "paper" based on the currently selected Font and Size properties. Tabular and freeform style. Will take me a day or two to extract the important parts if you interested.


It is written in pure .NET around the PrintPreviewDialog class.

Hi Johan,

I assumed I wouldn't be able to use BD directly. I want to write a library for printing simple reports in the Core dialect. I liked Phil's access, so I'd like to test how his BestDoc.... works and edit it into my library. I'll be glad for any help in creating this library.

Hi Johan,
I do not have experience with creating a report. I think everything is needed there.
