The Sinhala Word Processor is open source and its open document
wrapper class for .net can be used as an Open source reporting tool.

You can use Singlish Word Processor to design the template and open
the .odf file using the wrapper class (by including in your .net
application).

Then you can modify fields in your report in an object-oriented
manner. The text boxes you add to the document becomes Element() array
inside a Page from a Page() array.

The wrapper class provides methods to print the document and convert
to html. Also you can save the result as a new .odf file.

The odf file when renamed as an xml file can be transformed using XSLT
with an XSL (style sheet) document, and can be viewed on a browser.
You can host raw .odf files on a php server and transform to as it is
designed. Reports can be also done this way.

This is very easy and flyweight.

I'm also making an English version of this application for people with
other purposes, (without Singlish feature).

Anyone interested on this technical feature, please contact me for
more details. The .odf wrapper for .net is still developing. It is
extensible and flyweight reporting tool. The best thing is that it is
open source.
