Introduction

"FYIReporting Designer is a report and charting system based on Microsoft's Report Definition Language (RDL). Tabular, free form, matrix, charts are fully supported. HTML, PDF, XML, .Net Control, and printing supported. A WYSIWYG designer allows you to create reports without knowledge of RDL. Wizards are available for creating new reports and for inserting new tables, matrixes, and charts into existing reports." (http://www.fyireporting.com/)

Use the report viewer .NET controls from ASP.NET, WPF, or Winforms using C#, F#, VB.NET, IronPython, or any other .NET language. The winform viewer also works in linux using mono. An experimental Gtk/WPF/Cocoa viewer also exists.

Majorsilence Reporting started as My-FyiReporting which was a fork of fyiReporting after it died. It has been rebranded as Majorsilence Reporting to make it clearer that it is a separate forked project. Majorsilence Reporting is a fork of fyiReporting. I cannot stress this enough. This is a FORK. The main purpose is to make sure that I have a copy of fyiReporting since that project seems to be dead. I am leaving the github project named My-FyiReporting so links are not broken. All branding will eventually be replaced with Majorsilence Reporting.

Also check this projects wiki as information will be slowly added.

Majorsilence Reporting is currently built with visual studio 2022 and rider 2024.1 and targets .net 4.8, net6.0 and 8.0. You can also run the build script.

Development

Majorsilence Reporting is developed with the following workflow:

• Nothing happens for weeks or months
• Someone needs it to do something it doesn't already do
• That person implements that something and submits a pull request
• Repeat If it doesn't have a feature that you want it to have, add it. If it has a bug you need fixed, fix it.

Mac

Install mono-libgdiplus.

brew install mono-libgdiplus

For report generation to work set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/homebrew/lib

Ubuntu

RDL Compliance

Report file format specifications can be obtained from microsoft. I believe fyiReporting is currently mostly compatible with RDL 2005. If you want to add more features see the specfications.
