ReportGeneratorWebGui

1. Description

Web application for reports (data from stored procedure or view with parameters) generation using ReportGenerator library. Reports could be generated in following formats using template files:

  • Excel
  • Csv

To generate report we need just a 2 things:

  • Execution config - .xml file that describes stored procedure / view and it parameters

  2. Client GUI that allows to generate reports using built in GUI
  3. Report could be executed using any database (Sql Server, MySql or Postgres) on any server that accessible from machine where ReportGeneratorWebGui is deployed
