Actually... I notice you've got a new WPF reporting framework coming.

Can that get images from an "object data source"? We would want to be able to add an "image" to the report that got it's actual image by passing configuration stored in template, along with the size of the image required, to a method which would go and render the bitmap at runtime.

Alternatively... is there any way of extending the framework? Can we host arbitrary WPF visuals inside the report (editor)?

TBH, I'm not really in the market at the moment, as we've rolled our own reporting implementation. When I got the email that you'd replied though, I just noticed that the roadmap you linked to didn't actually have anything in it about reporting.

I think what we need(ed) is possibly better described as a document templating engine. Our data is not in a database, and is not tabular. It tends to consist of images (rendered from WPF visuals at report generation time, according to configuration stored in the report template), small chunks of (generated) text and some small data tables.

Our challenge was/is to have a templating scheme where we (or our users) can easily define templates and then easily generate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc documents from those templates.

I was looking around for 3rd party report generation frameworks when I wrote the original post, but never found anything that was suitable. IIRC, I think your stuff was closest, but I found the pagination issue referred to above and then stopped evaluating.

So there's no new features for WPF reporting planned, then?
