How do you do form and report design in C#?

They don't belong to me and no one wants to pay the price. I have one specific client which is big, and for whom I use SQL Server big time. For this guy I am doing everything in C#. I had written a bunch of this same kind of stuff in Access but it just didn't function well, so as I needed the parts, I rewrote in C#. It is crazy how much better it works. The data is all huge stuff in SQL Server which simply never fit in Access anyway, I was only using Access for the VBA language. All of that VBA instability is just gone. I loved Access, and I used it until 2007 drove me into the arms of C#. This project convinced me that for anything future / major, it will almost certainly be C#. Plus to be able to say I can automate SQL Server from C# just sounds powerful. Vroooom! ;) I am doing some pretty awesome (to me) stuff and looking at even more awesome stuff. John W.
