VB.NET Reports - Newbie Question

[q582gmzhi]

Hi,

I am wanting to move from Access forms and reports to VB.NET and need some advice

Can you create reports in VB.NET like you can MS Access?

If so how? I have looked under the project tab and can find all sorts of things I can add, like forms etc, but can't find any reports.

I have managed to build a simple VB.NET front end to an MS Access Back end, this works OK, but now I need to create some reports. How is this done?

Many Thanks

Darrell..

Free option: You can use the PrintDocument and the PrintPreviewControl that are in your toolbox.

Other alternatives: Component One makes a similar Print/Preview tool called Preview but it cost $$$.
