Introduction

Majorsilence Reporting is a powerful, open-source .NET reporting framework designed for developers who need to create, design, and deliver rich, reports. Supporting modern .NET versions (8.0), it provides a flexible and extensible platform for building reports from a variety of data sources. With a drag-and-drop designer, multiple viewer options, and cross-platform support, Majorsilence Reporting is ideal for both desktop and web applications. Whether you need to generate reports programmatically or empower users with a visual designer (windows only), this project offers the tools and documentation to get you started quickly.

The core of Majorsilence Reporting supports Linux and macOS for server-side application report generation. Only the WinForms-based designer and viewer are Windows-only.

Quick start

Add these nuget packages to your project.

dotnet add package Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator.SkiaSharp
dotnet add package Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlEngine.SkiaSharp
dotnet add package Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCri.SkiaSharp

If running on linux install the required fonts.

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

You are now ready to create and generate reports.

c# example connected to an sql database

See Database Providers.

using Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator;

// One time per app instance
RdlEngineConfig.RdlEngineConfigInit();

string dataProvider = "[PLACEHOLDER/Json/Microsoft.Data.SqlClient/MySQL.NET/Firebird.NET 2.0/Microsoft.Data.Sqlite/PostgreSQL";
var create = new Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator.Create();

var report = await create.GenerateRdl(dataProvider,
    connectionString,
    "SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName, Description FROM Categories",
    pageHeaderText: "DataProviderTest TestMethod1");

string filepath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "PLACEHOLDER.pdf");
var ofs = new Majorsilence.Reporting.Rdl.OneFileStreamGen(filepath, true);
await report.RunGetData(null);
await report.RunRender(ofs, Majorsilence.Reporting.Rdl.OutputPresentationType.PDF);

c# example, create a pdf document

using Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator;

// One time per app instance
RdlEngineConfig.RdlEngineConfigInit();

var document = new Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator.Document()
{
    Description = "Sample report",
    Author = "John Doe",
    PageHeight = "11in",
    PageWidth = "8.5in",
    //Width = "7.5in",
    TopMargin = ".25in",
    LeftMargin = ".25in",
    RightMargin = ".25in",
    BottomMargin = ".25in"
}
.WithPage((page) =>
{
    page.WithHeight("10in")
    .WithWidth("7.5in")
    .WithText(new Text
    {
        Name = "TheSimplePageText",
        Top = ".1in",
        Left = ".1in",
        Width = "6in",
        Height = ".25in",
        Value = new Value { Text = "Text Area 1" },
        Style = new Style { FontSize = "12pt", FontWeight = "Bold" }
    });
});

using var fileStream = new FileStream("PLACEHOLDER.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
await document.Create(fileStream);

Development

Majorsilence Reporting is developed with the following workflow:

• Nothing happens for weeks or months
• Someone needs it to do something it doesn't already do
• That person implements that something and submits a pull request
• Repeat

If it doesn't have a feature that you want it to have, add it. If it has a bug you need fixed, fix it.
