  1. Can you show that you are supporting Fody on Open Collective?
  2. The solution in the SO post does not work for you?
  3. Have you tried any other reporting lib (e.g. Stimulsoft, which we have great experiences with, even with embedding assemblies).

  1. Probably not. I've used It once and I am not sure about using It in feature.
  2. It Works But it's not a solution since the asembly can't being injected into exe file
  3. No. But Maybe I have to think about It.
