DESCRIPTION	ReportPrintingFramework  is a 1.1 .NET library (or above) to quickly and easly create printing reports. This library is an extension of a printing core library written by Mike Mayer in 2003 and downloadable form here. Anyway, to work properly, ReportPrintingFramework needs a patched version which you can download from here. I played with ReportPrinting for some jons of mine, and I could appreciate it's flexibility and lightness  (as for software dependencies and additional dll) expecially when compared to CrystalReports which, surely, has much more features, useless in most cases. The library limitation is that report must be created programmatically, calling the library's methods. So I thought that colud be usefull to have a framework able to load a report from file, in xml format and easy to edit, and to create report from that. Next step was to create a minimal graphical designer to create report files. See the whole article from CodeProject
