There are many nice charting tools out there. I thought about using Fusion Charts with a datagrid of the data below it.
However, I am concerned about being about to print easily and linking the charts and data below.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good way to do report with charts that can print? I am open to anything, including commercial software. The only thing I dont want is reporting servers.

ASP.NET Charts and Reports

Hello,
I need to build a reporting feature.
There are many nice charting tools out there. I thought about using Fusion Charts with a datagrid of the data below it.
However, I am concerned about being about to print easily and linking the charts and data below.

Thank you for the reply.
I was playing around with the Report Viewer, but I think it will take forever to get it to look they way I want.
I found an article about exporting listviews as a csv, and so I think I may use on of those in combination with fusion charts.
So then I started looking for a decent looking listview pager, but the only thing I can find is Rad controls for about 1,000.
The default pager for listview is depressing. It is absolutely insane how much time it takes to make any in asp.net look half decent.
Sometimes I dont know why I even use it. Aside from purchasing something is there anyway to make a decent looking listview pager?

You read my mind. I checked that out earlier, but his download URLs are all not working anymore. I guess I can try to "read" the article. :-)
If anyone else had a recommendation please let me know. Thank you!

Thank you!
That was a real life saver. The pager I was trying to replicate actually was the Google Analytics Pager.
