Stampa .NET engine is an utility designed to produce printing reports in .NET applications.

The basic idea is to create XML based templates that store information about page looks, and eventually to load these templates from within your program, fill them with data and print.

Stampa is complete system for creating reports in .NET. Printing engine is separated from designer application, it's standalone and easy to use. Printing engine is contained in assembly named Stampa.dll.

Stampa Designer is the other part of a Stampa system. It is a highly-sofisticated tool for generating XML template files on the fly. Using Stampa Designer you can easily create, edit and manipulate with your template files to suite your needs.

Beside XML files, with Stampa Designer you can export your reports in PDF and XSL-FO format. You may find it a very easy way to generate a number of parameterized PDF reports in short period. In some way, you may consider Stampa Designer as PDF files generator.
