WPF Reporting Solution

I have a WPF application with a Sql Server backend and need to produce a series of reports within it. I am currently using Stored procs to retrieve the data for the reports as some of the data is quite complex, and then displaying them through t开发者_运维知识库he Telerik Report Viewer. This works fine however I would like to be able to create reports that feel a bit more up to date, e.g. contain some animations, use 3D charts, that kind of thing.

What are some recommended reporting solutions that fit these criteria? :

• Use Stored Procedures for the data (and to populate any lookup parameters)
• Be very visually appealing, support 3D charts, gradient fills, dashboard style controls
• Be either free (or cheap, ideally < $1000)
• Ideally integrate within VS although this is not essential

Thanks for any suggestions

If you want to avoid SQL Reporting Services with the Dundas controls, then you can build your own report presentations using WPF - it has all the graphic snazziness™ you could need, including transforms, storyboards, vector drawing, etc.
