I'm looking for recommended tools and your experience with them for generating and viewing RDL (reporting definition language) files that can integrate well with a .NET application.
These are tools I've found so far. If you've worked with them and can give your experience (good and bad), ease of use, etc.. I'd love to learn. Our company is trying to choose a product for reporting.

We need it to work with the 2005 schema at the very least:
Report Definition Schema
June 2005
Description
This schema describes the structure of the Report Definition Language (RDL), an XML schema for representing reports which includes query, calculation and layout metadata.
Schema for Report Definition Schema
ReportDefinition.xsd
Of those tools you've mentioned I've only worked with fyi reporting so I can't offer a comparison. We use the fyi libraries currently to generate reports on Windows mobile 6 devices integrating the fyi libraries with a .net compact framework application.
We also use fyi to generate PDFs from a server side console application built in .net 2.0.
Both have been in production and running without problems for around a year now.

I need to recommend an open source business process management BPM software engine to work with.
Can anyone suggest such a BPM software to use?
Thanks for you time.
I checked several month ago but I didn't find any good opensource BPMS written for the .net platform.
Fortunatelly, nowdays most BPMS implement an HTTP API which could be accessed from a .net program, and many of them are provided as a cloud service.
I know best java based BPMS where, depending on your needs, you could check Bonita, jBPM (which embed a BRMS tool too) or Activiti. Some exist in other language but I have no feedback on them.
Cheers
After lot of search I found Skelta company who is provided excellent infrastructure in BPMS and engines that be added .NET platfoem to develop customize software
check it out

The Eclipse Process Manager "Stardust" (http://www.eclipse.org/stardust/) is a mature Java open source BPMS. Its commercial version is used in several products and projects in combination with .NET.
Relevant from this perspective:
browser-based process modeler
web service APIs, SOAP and REST
User interface mashup feature to include .NET UIs in workflows
Amazon Web Service Stardust image available (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Stardust/Knowledge_Base/Getting_Started/RTE_on_AWS)

Does anyone know of a framework to create web forms that requires little code and can send form data to a database, email address, or other api such as Microsoft CRM? I am looking for a framework where I can define the form and fields in a database which then creates the form and web endpoint automatically. Ideally I would like the form data to be stored in a normalized database. A .net solution would be the best.
It sounds like you're looking for an off-the-shelf solution, of which there are many. #David indicated in his comment that Microsoft LightSwitch and InfoPath are viable options, to which I'd agree. These offer the path of least resistance -- minimal hassle for setup, and forms can more or less be created without any coding required by the user.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to use a more capable framework, Microsoft ASP.NET Webforms is another technology that does exactly what you want really, really well. It is considerably more dynamic/open/complex than Lightswitch/Infopath, but on the whole is an excellent option for someone that just needs to get editable forms/grids up and running in the shortest amount of time possible.
ASP.NET's drag and drop components are easy to use and configure -- you can literally wire up forms/grids to a database without having to code anything at all. Another great thing about using Webforms is that you get the support of the entire .NET framework, which as hundreds(?) of components that you can take advantage of (grids, widgets, charts, etc. etc.).
.NET itself is a framework PHP has lot of options in way that you are searching :)

I know my question sounds a little bit like a shopping request, but I honestly believe that many people could find it useful.
I've been looking for an automatic tool that converts Data Definition Language from MySQL dialect to Oracle dialect - the other way round would also be fine. I found “SQL Fairy” but I was unable to run it; probably because I'm not familiar with PERL.
Is there any free tool for Windows that converts MySQL DDL to Oracle DDL?
This site really worked for me and it can convert a bunch of different DDL commands from Oracle, MySql, M$ Sql Server, Sybase and others. http://www.sqlines.com/online.
Please note the disclaimer below the tool:
Note. SQLines Online is a unrestricted version for EVALUATION USE ONLY. For use in projects, please obtain a license.
Oracle has web pages filled with information on this: Database Migration Technology which gives detailed instrctions and help for several different databases including MySql.
The main tool referenced: Oracle SQL Developer is free.

We've been using OCS-NG to gather our computer inventory for the past 2 years. About 6 months ago, AVG Antivirus started picking up on the agent it uses to gather computer information as a "potentially harmful program". We've placed that in our ignore list, but the agent no longer appears to be updating our database. After much consideration and frustration trying to diagnose, I've decided to move away from OCS-NG as well as GLPI (with which it interfaces nicely).
I'm looking for a replacement for both of these applications, but primarily OCS-NG. My requirements are:
Open Source (preferably free)
Windows/Linux inventory agents
I would like it if the system was able to be integrated with a helpdesk system such as OTRS or the like.
Thanks
On this moment there is no 'canned' asset discovery solution which has an out-of-the-box integration with OTRS.
However, OTRS is able to import CI data from CSV files. Also, we're hard at work cooking up a new SOAP/REST/JSON interface.
We're planning on integrating with asset discovery solutions, and would be open for people wanting to help with us on creating and testing the integration, and/or help from anyone working on FOSS asset discovery projects.

Are there any Open Source alternatives to Crystal Reports?
JasperReports if you're writing Java.
The java standard answer is often:
JasperReports: http://jasperforge.org
iReport: http://ireport.sourceforge.net
openreports: http://oreports.com/
Report Manager has been around for quite a few years. It's written in Delphi (at least it was originally) and has components that can be used in Delphi, but is usable via ActiveX or dll from just about any language. Now has a native .NET library too. Has a nifty report-serving webserver you can set up too. The designer gui looks and feels a little rough around the edges but it works.
http://reportman.sourceforge.net/
BIRT works pretty well.
How about i-net Clear Reports (used to be i-net Crystal-Clear).
Though not free, you should also consider this low-cost, non-free, non-open-source reporting solution that can fully compete with Crystal Reports - and is Java-based.
I think it's even more cost efficient than "free ones". A small company may have to think closely about free things, but will then have to invest into manpower to find out how everything works and so on. Large companies will for sure subscribe to premium support services that cost a lot. See this article for reference
i-net Clear Reports has a very low price tag with great support for free and even better premium support via yearly subscriptions.
Disclosure: Yeah, I work for the company who built this, so I'm biased. But I honestly believe in what I just wrote.
So far based on my research JasperSoft has turned out promising open source reporting tool… Matter of fact I am currently working on a huge project wherein I have started converting and building reports using JasperReports/iReports…
Every reporting tool has its own learning curve. The support group from and for Jasper and the quality of response that I have gotten so far is good.
Again at the end of the day it all comes down to what your business / organization needs.
You can use jasper report.
iReport is a very effective tool to develop jasper reports.
It supports almost all the facilities provided by crystal report like formatting, grouping, creation of charts etc.
