# Introduction

DoddleReport generates a variety of reports from any IEnumerable datasource.

Out of the box it can render reports to Excel, PDF, HTML, and CSV – fully extensible of course. I designed the project to provide reporting output over the LINQ queries we had already written for the application, but maybe you can find other uses for it.

## New to DoddleReport?

*   Look at the **[Building your first report](https://github.com/matthidinger/DoddleReport/wiki/Building-your-first-report)** page
*   If you’re using ASP.NET make sure to check out **[ASP.NET Reporting](https://github.com/matthidinger/DoddleReport/wiki/ASP.NET-Reporting)** section
*   Review the ```DoddleReport.Sample.Web``` project in the solution

# Find it on NuGet

DoddleReport has been split into multiple packages to support more users’ needs. See their Descriptions within NuGet for more on the differences

#### Main package
*   ```Install-Package DoddleReport```

#### ASP.NET integration
*   ```Install-Package DoddleReport.Web```

#### Additional Report Writers
*   ```Install-Package DoddleReport.iTextSharp```
*   ```Install-Package DoddleReport.AbcPdf```
*   ```Install-Package DoddleReport.OpenXml```

# Basic Usage

```csharp
// Get the data for the report (any IEnumerable will work) 
var query = ProductRepository.GetAll();

// Create the report and turn our query into a ReportSource 
var report = new Report(query.ToReportSource());

// Customize the Text Fields report.TextFields.Title = "Products Report";
report.TextFields.SubTitle = "This is a sample report showing how Doddle Report works";
report.TextFields.Footer = "Copyright 2016 © The Doddle Project";

// Render hints allow you to pass additional hints to the reports as they are being rendered 
report.RenderHints.BooleanCheckboxes = true;

// Customize the data fields report.DataFields["Id"].Hidden = true;
report.DataFields["Price"].DataFormatString = "{0:c}";
report.DataFields["LastPurchase"].DataFormatString = "{0:d}";
```
