miniRDL
    Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

Why?
If you can whip up a nice looking report in about 5  minutes
by just using notepad , it's got to be worth something.
If you can whip up a complex business report in 15 minutes
it's got to be worth even more.

Objectives of the language.
As simple and concise as possible.
Few patterns to remember.
Wrist friendly.
Forgiving.
Will always strive to implement all the RDL Specification.
 

Inherent problems with WISIWYG Report Designers
Lack an interactive and investigative quality.
A modification at a client's site requires the designer installed somewhere.
    (Newer versions of the designer may not be able open an old definition.
Not easy (sometimes not possible) to generate totally new reports at runtime.
Not easy to experiment.

How can I use it in my application?
Using the miniRDL.dll function "GenerateRDL" you pass 3 parameters,
    P1: the miniRDL definition as string
    P2: an array of DataTables
    P3: the Parameters (usually critera information) as string

This function will return a full RDL specification which you can then pass to an RDL viewer.

Requirements
Microsoft Net Framework 2
