Hello!!
I moved my entire project to .NET 8 just to realize that ReportViewer is not compatible. So I have to redo the whole reporting part... thankfully is not THAT much.
Are there any good alternatives? The reports are local. I need a designer in order to make them. And yes its for commercial use. But what I have seen is way to costly.
Any help or pointing in the right direction is more than welcome.
Thanks in advance
