Background

This is necessary that the beginning-level developer be familiar with any programming concepts in general. It is also necessary that the developer has an understanding and experience of the C# language. It is also recommended that the beginning developer is also familiar with Object Oriented Programming and some design concepts as well.

In this article we will generate the dynamic RDLC report by giving only the employee id the report is automatically generate. The report which we are generating is basically the salary slip of the employee.

Point Of Interest

The basic purpose of this article is that when we come into the professional life, the intermediate level of companies don't have much time to generate every employee salary slip in every month by making a dynamic report. Here you don't need anything; the month is always set as dynamic, it always changes by date and time. We only need the employee Id, the report is automatically generated.
