Yes,

You need to provide more information.
What programming language?
What reporting tool do you want to use?
Will the data be in textboxes, grids, labels?

i use visual basic programming language

Which one? VB6, .Net 2010? There are lots of visual basics.

If your using .Net 2005 and crystal reports, then you would add a report to the project and then add the textboxes to the report. You could enter the information into the textboxes like this,

        Dim rpt as new yourreportname
        Dim objText As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject = _
            rpt.ReportDefinition.Sections(3).ReportObjects("textboxname")
        objText.Text = "some value"

i use visual basic 2008
can i use the datagrideview tool to represent my data?

The code example I posted should work with the CR version that comes with .Net 2008.
