Need details about graphical support in Windows Forms and WPF

Prasad Godbole

Hi,

We are developing one software related to astrology. It will be probably desktop application.

In this software we need to display different report in tabular format also we need to display the information like in attached image.

So we have following queries

1) To develop such type of software what we should select Windows Form OR WPF ?

2) If we use WPF then is it possible to display and print report in tabular format and information like attached image.

We are new to WPF so want to confirm this.

3) In the attached image we are displaying the data in the different square boxes and it will be dynamic. So for displaying data in such style do we need to use inbuilt .NET graphics/drawing library OR there is any other way to display data like this ?

Please advise in this.

Thanks and Regards

WPF can do what you are looking for. I do not see the attached image but you can build tabular and other reports using Documents, Reports Viewer and CR. You can also better control drawing shapes/objects in WPF than Windows Forms. WPF is the way to go.

Let me put it this way. WPF can do everything you can do in Windows Forms but better, faster and cheaper (resources).
