I am a die hard C++ programmer :) But this project would take a lot more time and require a large number of extra libraries if I were to use C++. Think XML, Database access, possible UI. All of this is part of the ..NET/Mono core library. Is installing .NET/CLI that big of a deal? Most windows machines already have it.

Hi, Oh. C#... Let's see. If I want to use your reports system, I need CLI-Mono machine (Common Language Infrastructure) be installed on my box. This is not good dependency. As far as I know modern linux distributions (SuSE, Mandrake, RedHat) do not include this machine. I could be great to use just C++ instead C#, users do not need any machine in this case to run your application. You can use C++ Qt library. Like for example Doxygen project does. Or probably Gtk+ is good enough. Another solution is java. Java machine is stable, and it is shipped with all OSes, even win has java. And one question. Will your application be commercial or free?
