Wikivid is an encyclopedia of informative videos. Each content page is made up of links to free videos layed out as a video-course for anyone to watch and learn. Each page can be edited and moderated by anyone. The goal of each entry is to provide access to videos on the given subject for purposes of education. The vision for Wikivid is to eventually provide its own content through video uploads from the community, however, content may also be provided via external links to free videos from around the web. Wikivid is currently in Alpha, and during this test stage, content will be limited to Software-related entries only. Each video can be imported into an article via the "Import Videos" feature at the bottom of each edit page. If you'd like to link to a video that is not yet included in the Import Videos database, simply submit it. By submitting it, the video will be linked with a Wikivid sidebar that allows for seamless viewing navigation. Let us know what you think of Wikivid via the discussion page.
ReportViewer is a freely redistributable control that enables embedding reports in applications developed using the .NET Framework. Reports are designed with drag-and-drop simplicity using Report Designer included in Visual Studio 2005 (Standard editon and above.) See screenshots of some applications that have ReportViewer control embedded in them. The ReportViewer control offers the following benefits: Processes data efficiently. The reporting engine built into ReportViewer can perform operations such as filtering, sorting, grouping and aggregation. Supports a variety of ways in which to present data. You can present data as lists, tables, charts and matrices (also known as crosstabs.) Adds visual appeal. You can specify fonts, colors, border styles, background images etc to make your report visually appealing. Enables interactivity in reports. You can have collapsible sections, document map, bookmarks, interactive sorting etc in your report. Supports conditional formatting. You can embed expressions in the report to change display style dynamically based on data values. Supports printing and print preview. Supports export to Excel and PDF. The control can process and render reports independently using a built-in engine ( 'local mode' ) or it can display reports that are processed and rendered on a Report Server ( 'remote mode' ). There is a WinForms and a WebForms version of the control.
Report Migrator dataReference, Inc's Report Migrator is the inexpensive way to convert Crystal Reports ® output to RDL files for simple low cost report distribution through Microsoft ® SQL Server ™ Reporting Services (SSRS) In January of 2006 Microsoft ® representatives approached dataReference's senior management regarding the need for a conversion program. After several months of market research, we found only four products existed. Two were converters that did only 50% of the desired migration and were coupled to buying considerable consulting time to complete the migration. Two were web based services that charged for the services per report. Typical cost ranged between $75 and $300 per report and took several days to return the desired output. Moreover, none of these solutions did 100% of the migration and all still required human intervention to achieve the desired result. With these facts in mind, we initiated the development of a low cost report migration tool which delivers report migration in seconds not days. B enefits of Report Migrator Report Migration in seconds not days 75% reduction of cost to distribute report output Zero loss of knowledge or report design expertise Convert single or multiple reports at the same time Greater development productivity, no need to change the development No change to production environment or tool sets Results of utilizing dataReference's Report Migrator No increased development time means greater productivity No required learning for another Report Design Software A 75% decrease in investment over deploying Crystal Enterprise
