Ok, what is the best way to create reports?
I have report viewer but cant seem to figure out how the heck to use it! lol... how do you create a report!?
I need to create a few reports (from data) as well as needing to create a receipt and work "order" page.
I know i can just create the page using code, but really it seems like there SHOULD be a better way?
Thanks!
Using the report viewer is very easy. I am actually in the middle of writing a codebank article for it. Since you are using VS2012 Express, are you using SQL Server 2012 Express?
I added the codebank article for using Report Viewer with Visual Studio 2012 Express to my signature. Let me know if it is helpful or not.
cool.. but thats as far as i got... lol
what next? i added the control to the toolbox, then added to the form...
according to MS it should then show some sort of designer? no? lol thanks!
I don't think you read it all the way. My post says to follow the instructions in the link, which tells you to open Report Builder, which is the program you installed if you followed the directions.
Ahh i was missing the report builder app.. lol thanks!
