Write your own would seem the obvious answer.

Solution 1

One method I have used in the past is to generate an HTML document on the fly, particularly if it is simple textual data, tables, etc.

Solution 2

the best way is to write a log.txt or log.html file and put all what you want to report in it.

but if you have complex reports that contains images and other
complicated data you should use any report control

It is possible to use the MHTML format to embed the content if you wanted to include images etc. in HTML format. :)

you are right, but if the number of images is huge or he have to report complicated data he must use a report control

and if he decided to use MHTML format then he must write a class to read/write his reports and he must MHTML ormat very well to achive so
