But what if you want to use code to cause one ReportViewer control to display many totally different reports using your own O/R mapper collection instead? It is not easy to see how to do this, but it is only a few lines of code once perceived. Now, using generics, we can easily report on any kind of object data. http://aspalliance.com/762_Binding_the_ReportViewer_Control_to_Multiple_Generic_Collections Terry Voss Mon, 06 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT GnuPG Encryption for Email, XML, and Others in a VB.NET Wrapper For email there is only one security standard that is highly used--PGP or the public domain version GnuPG. I recently had to apply GnuPG to a commercial email program and found that nowhere on the Internet was this asymmetric encryption available for .NET usage. It was quite a challenge coding one, so I thought it worthy of an article to save people from what I had to go through to get there. Full source code is available and discussed with links to more. http://aspalliance.com/748_GnuPG_Encryption_for_Email_XML_and_Others_in_a_VBNET_Wrapper Terry Voss Mon, 23 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT ClickOnce Deployment: Customizing SQL Server Express ClickOnce Deployment, new to Visual Studio 2005, allows you to deploy your Windows Forms application to a web server from which a user can download and install the application.

Terry Voss shows how to customize the installation of SQL Server Express. http://aspalliance.com/714_ClickOnce_Deployment_Customizing_SQL_Server_Express Terry Voss Mon, 26 Sep 2005 00:00:00 GMT Using GDI+ to Draw Barcodes Barcode components for .NET can be very expensive.

Terry Voss examines local versus remote reporting. http://aspalliance.com/692_Visual_Studio_2005_Beta_2_and_Reporting_Services Terry Voss Fri, 15 Jul 2005 00:00:00 GMT Understanding the Profile Object of ASP.NET Version 2.0 (Beta 1) The new ASP.NET Profile Object will be a good companion to the Session Object and will allow Session to focus on security and Profile to focus on state. http://aspalliance.com/559_Understanding_the_Profile_Object_of_ASPNET_Version_20_Beta_1 Terry Voss Tue, 09 Nov 2004 00:00:00 GMT WinInet vs. Managed Options This article provides an example where using WinInet directly solves a problem that managed code could not. http://aspalliance.com/543_WinInet_vs_Managed_Options Terry Voss Mon, 18 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT Comparing HTML Reporting and MS SQL Server Reporting Services I thought I had it made, using my own HTML reporting methods for Web applications and Crystal Reports for Windows applications, but a new tool is now of interest. With MS SQL Server Reporting Services I now have one solution for reports for Web and Windows forms applications. http://aspalliance.com/531_Comparing_HTML_Reporting_and_MS_SQL_Server_Reporting_Services Terry Voss Thu, 23 Sep 2004 00:00:00 GMT One Minute Conversion of Web Forms to 2.0 "Whidbey" This article describes the steps needed to convert a web form from ASP.NET 1.1 to ASP.NET 2.0 Codename "Whidbey."
