Reporting ASP

[IMRAN SAROIA]

Hi,

What is the best option for report in classical asp.
Please advise

Well M$ seem to favour Crystal Reports but there are many out there. Have
you heard of Google?

 

[Larry Randolf]

personally I make any reports from scratch
SQL Statements, loops, calculations, and HTML etc etc

sometimes other things...

I like the control I have and I find it pretty easy to get down and dirty
and do work like that... but yes some people are into crystal reports and it
is quite good

Have you heard of Google?

Have you heard of the "S" that is on your keyboard?

Have you heard of the "S" that is on your keyboard?

Is this some sort of microsoft religion?

Is this some sort of microsoft religion?
Why would you say that, $tefan?

Why would you say that, $tefan?

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

 

[Bob Lehmann]

You're welcome. Even the paranoid, such as yourself, $tefan, need
affirmation now and then.

But, I still would like to know how someone commenting on the childish use
of a "$", instead of a "S", could be construed as religious, $tefan.

Clearly our opinions of what constitute childish behavior differ.

I think the "have you ever heard of google" remark was even more childish.

For a cheap solution, create everything for Excel. See

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnoffxml/html/ofxml2k.asp

My just adding the following to your HTML

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","filename=myreport.xls"

Your HTML table will automatically load into Excel. Because of this,
you can use any of the Excel formulas in each cell, so if you want to
do totals, all you need to keep track of is the column and row that
you're on to properly write a formula.

Another cool feature is the "outline" feature in Excel. By just adding
a simple style to your <TR> tag, Excel will group those cells together.

Oh ! Thanks, I never thought about this solution before.
