Welcome to the Majorsilence Reporting wiki. Hopefully, this resource will help you to take advantage of all this project (previously called My-FyiReporting) has to offer.

Introduction

Majorsilence Reporting is a Free Open Source reporting solution for SQL data (most databases), where reports are defined in XML text files to the open RDL standard (as used by Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services). It requires net8.0 or newer to run the supplied executables. A report designer allows you to generate reports and save them in .RDL format and a report viewer can be called or embedded into your application.

For a more technical introduction please see the main project page.
