BxReporter is designed to
accept a DataTable, DataView and a DataGrid as input. It then
automatically renders a professional looking table within a specified drawing
area with a caption, column headers, cell content formatting according to the
datatype of its column, internal gridlines and borders. In addition,
there are methods and properties that can be used for programmatic customization
of a table's appearance. In the case of a DataGrid, the rendered table will have
the same appearance as within the application, unless programmatically
overridden using BxReporter methods and properties.
Key Features are:
 |
Automatic Table layout across multiple pages
if necessary.
|
|
Properties for setting fonts, text colors and back-colors
independently for captions, headers, cells, columns and numbers. |
