Report Types for Every Need

RDL Reports - Data-Driven Reports

RDL reports are like a continuous roll of paper. You can use multiple report components in one page (traditionally impossible without sub-reports) and multiple data sources in one report. The continuous page is useful when you don't know how much data there will be. It runs through the data rows until it’s finished. This is a great option for long tabular reports such as general ledgers.

Page Reports - Layout-Driven Reports

In Page reports, pages act as containers. Each page can be a copy of the first or a clean page. Data that overflows your tables or other data regions can span pages, but you control the layout of each page and specify where the overflow data goes with a placeholder. This report type is great for billing statements, mail merge, catalogs, forms, and other reports with layout constrictions.

Section Reports - Traditional Banded Reports

This is the traditional ActiveReports banded report with a detail section for repeating data, and optional header and footer sections for groups, pages, and the overall report. Section Reports can also be completely code based. If you want to generate reports using all code, this might be the option for you.

Customizable Viewers for Every Platform

Embed our customizable viewers into your applications to give your users a table of contents, thumbnails, drilldown interactivity, parameters, and even annotations. They are royalty-free and ready to use, so there is no need to code your own.

WebViewer

Display your reports in PDF format, raw HTML, or in a fully interactive Flash or ASP.NET viewer.

Responsive HTML5 Viewer

Embed it in your web application to offer your users the best experience across devices.

WPF Viewer

WinForms Viewer

Displays reports in your Windows applications with full interactivity support for drill down reports.

Dynamic .NET Reports

With an extensive .NET API, you can control Section Report behavior using events or even design dynamic reports entirely in code. Use property expressions to change the run-time behavior of controls in RDL and Page reports.

Unique Code-based Report Type

This special report type has code-behind, just like your Windows Forms controls that lets you use C# and VB.NET code-behind to generate, design, render, print, or export reports.

.NET Overloadable Events

Overload and define what happens at each event in the report execution process, from initialization to run, render, export, and print.

Property Expressions

Change the runtime behavior of RDL or Page Reports and their data regions and controls using property expressions.

Comprehensive API

The .NET API is integrated into the Visual Studio IDE and provides you with the same control over properties that you expect from Visual Studio controls.

Self-Service Reporting for Your End Users

End users always ask for tweaks in standard reports. Give them the power to make the changes themselves with a fully customizable set of report designer controls.

Install without Visual Studio

Report designers who aren't developers can install and license ActiveReports on a machine without Visual Studio, allowing BI analytics teams and IT staff to design and distribute reports.

.NET Report Designer Control

Add a drag and drop report designer to your application. Control the functionality and experience through the extensive set of .NET properties, methods, and events.
