printing reports in asp.net

[russellbcopeland]

Ok, so I have an asp.net application that I'd like to make work on multiple platforms. I'd like the clients to be able to print reports... What is a good way of making this happen. I don't want to be limited to windows clients. (that's why I'm using web forms instead of win forms in the first place).

So far the only two options I have come up with are creating the report on the server as a .pdf file and having them pull it up. And the other is to just make a report web page that makes the page look like the report.

Any thoughts?

Your other option (which sort of goes along with #1) is to dynamically render the page into .pdf format, which you can do with the product from

Printing is a huge concern on my end, too, and this is the option that I use when I have to make sure it's right.
