Although this chapter included many pretty pictures and a lot of instructions, we scratched only the surface of the features available in the reporting controls included with .NET. I think I bruised my brain when I tried to study up on every available feature, but perhaps your brain is better prepared for the task. Still, if you don't find it exactly to your liking, you can use one of the other reporting features I listed at the start of the chapter, or even opt for a third-party solution. Reports are an important part of the business developer's daily life. Finding the right reporting tool and getting comfortable with its features is not only a good suggestion, it's a necessity in the world of report-hungry software users. |
