But now I do some other funny staff, like creation of reports using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services. And I do not like that. No, I do like the result of my work, and I do like SSRS itself - it is really a greate product created by some really smart guys from Microsoft, but I really hate the process of creation of reports, like when you add 0.005 inches and look to preview to see whether that change was enough, and whether you report still fits one page and does not split into two.
Also I do not like Dundas Charts for SSRS, and here is my reason:
Dundas Charts are rendered as bitmap using GDI+ and that means that you will get the same DPI on screen and on printer, and you will have to set it manually (dispite the lack of features, standard chart looks much better).
Also there are some things, that I just don't get - some coordinates are in percents, some of them are in inches, some settings just do not work as expected, text is blurry and so on.
But still, Dundas did a lot of work for us and we do not have to create our own buggy charts :)
Later I will write more about all that stuff, but that will be in one of my next posts, and now I will get to sleep :)
