title: How to create reports based on a SQL database using Visual Studio Express 2013
body: <p>I must say I am relatively new to the C# programming language. I've created an application that requires the user to enter some data which is stored in a SQL database. Afterwards he must be able to print some reports based on that data. </p>
  
  <p>My question is: how can I implement such a functionality? I have searched the internet, but I haven't found an answer. I have to mention that I wasn't able to find a way to add the Microsoft Reports tool and template to my project, neither the Crystal Reports tool. </p>
  
  <p>I would be glad if someone could explain to me how to create printable reports using Visual Studio Express 2013 without having to pay money to get Crystal Reports or having to upgrade my Visual Studio suite.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
