it depends on the type of report you want to create.

if you just want to display data in the form of database tables
write the data to a csv(comma separated) file

if you want to create a report i'd use the string builder and write it to txt file

Dim l_outLine As String

Dim l_noRows As Integer = datagrid1.visiblerowcount
Dim i As Integer
For i=0 to l_rows - 1
l_outLine = datagrid1.item(0,0) & vbTab & datagrid1.item(0,1) & vbtab & datagrid1.item(0,2)
l_sWriter.WriteLine(l__outLine )
l__outLine = ""

i just wrote that in the forum without testing it so there are bound to be errors...


this is it without errors

Dim l_sWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter("mytextfile.txt")
Dim l_outLine As String

Dim l_noRows As Integer = datagrid1.visiblerowcount
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To l_noRows - 1
l_outLine = datagrid1.Item(0, 0) & vbTab & datagrid1.Item(0, 1) & vbTab & datagrid1.Item(0, 2)
l_sWriter.WriteLine(l_outLine)
l_outLine = ""
Next

l_sWriter.Close()
