custom report designer

does any one have any idea about a custom report designer dealing with rdl / rdlc formats ?
this one would need to be essentiallywinforms based
Meaning not server based but local
what i need here would have to deal with field formatting too
maybe something along the lines of the report builder in ssrs
does any one have any resources in mind?
thanks for any help!

hi,

first create one rdlc file with existing ds and certain values (which is in working condition)

then open it as an xml file.

now you can see the xml tags in it and before generating the report generate the rdlc file as per your caluclation (these tags has column width..etc)

generate the rdlc and then, while showing it in report viewer select processing mode as local, then give this rdlc file as report and bind the dataset which you want to show in the report.

First, open a working report's rdlc file content in xml viewer, you can understand what to do, by using System.Xml namespace classes.

I will try to find the code, i have worked on it in the past.
