I have a paper form like invoice and I want to print database values on it (by query). So I want to insert the text at special locations like invoice number, company name, amount and ..
for this purpose what is the correct and standard method
have windows form with the invoice background image and set the location of thextbox
use Microsoft report and report viewer (how?)
or any other solution
Thanks in adavance
You can use crystal report. You can configure the location of field while printing in crystal report.
If you want to use Microsoft report have a look at this
There are 2 options,
a) There are print packages in dreamincode, look at some of them.
b) The recommended way, use crystal report. Much easier and cleaner.

i am using windows 10.
i am trying to create a report for continuous form (Half Of A4), i set manually from device and printer, so i set printer server like this.
then i change page setup on CR to vpc (name of paper where i create on printer server) like this..
then i tried it with different way :
i preview the report, than print.
with out run my application. the print result was great. just like i want.
i run my application, preview my report with Crystal REport viewer tools, but my report become landscape. not protrait.
see...
what must i do?
yes, after a week,finally i found the answer, we need to set default paper to our customer paper.
just that.
I have a RDLC reports that print some data based on a certain query. What I'm trying to do now is to print the same report (with different data based on a different value for the primary key) multiple time without having different files to print.
Let's say I have 3 reports of 2 pages each, I want a single report of 6 pages.
I used to do that in Crystal Report XI simply by putting a group on my primary key but I haven't been able to replicate that in Visual Studio Report Designer.
I need a preview is possibile so I can't just print them one after another.
You could make a combined report that loads the three reports as subreports. There's loads of useful information at gotreportviewer.com/subreports. It's easy if the three different reports are in three different .rdlc files. The situation is slightly more complicated when you want to use the same .rldc file for more than one subreport in the same combined report. A subreport has parameters passed to it, and gets its DataSet through the SubreportProcessing event handler. The solution I came up with was to pass a ReportID parameter to the subreport; then, the SubreportProcessing event handler asks what the ReportID is, and passes back the DataSet appropriate for the report.
You may need to modify your reports slightly to make them work as both "main" reports and subreports. Subreports don't print the header or footer, so if you had important data there you'll need to move that to the body of the report. Also if you use the ReportID trick, then you may need to modify the report to take the ReportID parameter.
Good luck!
After some digging I actually solved my issue using PdfSharp.
It works wonderfully for me because I don't need multiple rdlc files, I just do a loop and then export all to pdf.
most of the time we point store procedure or table and then SSRS report designer show us field and we just drag drop those field on to report designer surface. after all we call those report programmatically and pass parameter and report shown on report viewer.
now my company want that customer will customize the report who will see the report. they want to display all the fields in a form and just customer will select each field and place on report designer surface and give some input like filter condition like date range or employee id etc and report will be shown. also at run time if customer want they can add text or move existing field etc.
i do not have any idea how could i do this with SSRS. if this is possible with SSRS then please guide me in such a way as a result i can start the job or if possible give me few relevant url of that kind from where i can get the idea. thanks
SSRS is capable of reading reports generated on-the-fly, but they have to be made just right. SSRS reports are XML documents that specify the data structure and report object structures and how the two are related. Using Visual Studio, you can use certain classes to create the XML document which is then read & filled with data on the server, then exported to the client as a standard webpage.
Here is a link to a tutorial. This should be a good starting point.
Here is a small but working example of generating RDL on-the-fly with some useful links to MSDN documentation: "How to dynamically generate SSRS Report in Code"
Hope it helps!
I'm trying to generate several reports and show them as one document in a viewer.
Can't seem to find any way of doing this.
Thanks for any help! :)
3 Suggestions:
1) To give the appearance of one viewer with multiple reports you could append viewers to the page and suppress all toolbars.
2) To have multiple reports for a single viewer you would need to make each of the reports a subreport in another report.
3) If the report is not going to be interactive(ie - paging, links, drill down, etc) you could just generate pdf's for each report and merge them.
Is the identity of the reports known at design time? If so, you could embed all of them into another report as sub reports and run the parent report
Is it possible to print a report in Crystal Reports to multiple PDFs, for example if you had an invoice report that needed to be exported to individual PDF documents?
I know this can be done manually, but I would like to set it up to automatically create these PDFs based on the criteria I set up.
According to this thread, it's not possible.
But, you could write a little application that would enumerate pages and call ReportDocument.PrintReport to each page, then configure your PDF printer to save them automatically with some generated file names.
These 2 companies have products to do that, and the technique is called "bursting":
