LINQ to Reports... As in transform your LINQ queries into reports, with extensible formats like Excel, PDF, CSV, HTML

Matt Hidinger - Transform your LINQ queries into Excel/PDF reports with DoddleReport 1.2

DoddleReport builds tabular reports from any IEnumerable datasource. Out of the box it can render reports to Excel, PDF, HTML, and CSV – fully pluggable of course. I created the project to provide reporting output over the LINQ queries we had already written for an application, but maybe you can find other uses for it.

So what does it generate?

The following samples are generated live in real-time (notice the data will change every time you open the report)
