Migration partners

If you move .NET Framework applications to .NET 8, 9 or 10, you have met this: the application ports, but its reports do not. RDLC reports run in ReportViewer, which stays on .NET Framework, so the invoices, statements and lists become the part of the project nobody can estimate. Tagua converts them, and renders them anywhere modern .NET runs.

An estimate from the first day

Section titled “An estimate from the first day”

Run the converter on the client’s reports folder, before quoting:

Terminal window
dotnet tool install --global Tagua.Cli
tagua import ClientReports --out converted

It converts every report and writes tagua-import-summary.md: how many convert with nothing to review, how many need one item or a few, and each report’s list. In the public reports we measured, 71% needed nothing and 96% five items or fewer (how we measured). The summary shows where your client’s reports stand, so the reports are a line in the estimate instead of a risk.

Then the work itself

Section titled “Then the work itself”
  • Converted templates that render on Windows, Linux, in containers and with native AOT, from the rows the application already loads: see RDLC in ASP.NET Core and on Linux and in Docker.
  • The items to review are listed report by report, and each one also shows as a placeholder in the template, so nothing is lost silently.
  • Compliance in the same step: a line in the template makes the PDF accessible (PDF/UA), archival (PDF/A) or a Factur-X invoice, which many clients now need as well.

Working with us

Section titled “Working with us”
  • Help on the hard reports. Send us a summary, or a report that does not convert well, and the people who write the converter look at it. Real reports decide what it handles next.
  • Licensing that follows the client. Contractors building for a client use the client’s license: Community is free for companies under 100 people and USD 1 million in revenue, and larger ones buy Professional or Enterprise (see Pricing). You can evaluate Tagua on a project with the 32-day trial.
  • Ongoing work together. If your projects meet these reports often, tell us: we would like to hear how you work and what would help, and to agree terms that suit both sides.
