Which reporting tool should I use for win application in vb.net

[DataMiser]

Personally I hate Crystal reports, I used it years ago for a while and thought it was just a big P.I.T.A. I started using Active Reports from Data Dynamics back in VB5 and in VB6 and thought it was awesome. I could do reports in 1/10th the time it took in Crystal and the process was totally logical as it pretty much behaves just like any other VB object. Fields have a .Text property which you can change or read on the fly just like any VB form and many other such things.

I do not have the .Net version yet so I have not been able to try it but I will most likely buy it when I need to create reports in Vb.Net.

That said Active Reports is not cheap but it is worth every penny.

ActiveReports is the world's most flexible reporting tool for .NET. It offers an extensive code-behind, event-based API for report creation, plus the ability to hook into pretty much any reporting behavior at run time. Developers have long used ActiveReports to embed advanced reporting features into their applications — features that would otherwise be considered impossible to achieve. Read our case studies to discover how ActiveReports has turned reporting into a competitive advantage for our clients.

Personally after using this tool for 15 years I would not consider anything else.
