  • You could build a flowdocument and print that. Printing has a couple of gotchas: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/345009/printing-a-wpf-flowdocument Or you could show as wpf controls in a container like a grid and then rendertargetbitmap to a png file and print that. – Andy Apr 23 '18 at 09:25

  • Crystal reports is very good for that sort of thing, you realise you can print directly without first showing in report viewer? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17377281/how-to-directly-print-a-report-without-going-through-crystal-reports-viewer – Andy Apr 23 '18 at 09:31

Here's a snippet of code showing very simple usage of crystal. This has a reportviewer involved, but that is optional as I explained in comments.

ReportDocument rpt = new  CrystalReport1();
Person person = new Person
{
    JobTitle="Director",
    Gender="M",
    HireDate = new DateTime(2015,1,1)
};
List<Person> OnePerson = new List<Person>();
OnePerson.Add(person);
rpt.SetDataSource(OnePerson);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

Here CrystalReport1 is in my solution like any class or window and I've designed it there. That can be built against any table stored procedure view or class. If you work vs a database then you could use odbc to read from there but this is rarely a good idea and you're best getting the data externally.
So long as you present data to the report which has the same fields with matching types in it then it'll take a List even if you design against a database. This means you can easy set up a dummy table with data in it and prototype quickly. Then later switch over to an entirely different source.
