Installation

Using Report Manager .Net native components

Download the .Net package from sourceforge, then uncompress the package to a directory in your computer.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/reportman

You can choose to install the binary assemblies or add the project files directly to your project.

To optimize the file sizes and separate technologies used (Windows Forms, ASP.Net mostly), Report Manager is separated in diverse assemblies, so they have different dependences.

Name spaces are used for diferent components, they match with library name.
