When using SF we have the BindingField which is based on the BusinessObject property of the control, sometimes I have controls which I would like to bind to a new form's property and no business object, so I can reference this property instead of the control itself.



In this case if I use a SF control, can still use its BindingField property with not BusinessObject? or should I just add a regular property and assign the control value in the GET/SET?

I let me RSS subscription lapse as well. Xtrareports - even if you buy it separately from their big bundle of everything with source and priority support for $1300 is $350 and includes client side report designer and works with WPF, Silverlight, ASP and Winforms as far as I can tell . It really looks like the report tool VS should have had built in.

Hi Charles,



Any comment on the PDF stuff Above?

Hi Charles. I have been trying to decide which Report Writer to go for and have narrowed it down to either Activereports or Xtrareports.

I was tending towards Activereports as , without additional licenses or expense, you can include a run time report designer for the end user. You seem to be suggesting that that can also be done with Xtrarports....did I pick this up correctly.

Also , would be interested if anybody has seen any feature by feature comaprison of the two. ActiveReports seems to be more expensive .
