ActiveReports is a .NET reporting tool used by developers of .NET (cross-platform, WinForms), and ASP.NET/JavaScript (WebForms, MVC 5, Core, Blazor) applications. It was originally developed by Data Dynamics, which was then acquired by GrapeCity. It is written in managed C# code and allows Visual Studio programmers to leverage their knowledge of C# or Visual Basic.NET when programming with ActiveReports.Шаблон:Citation needed
ActiveReports allows developers to create win/web applications, which allow end-users to create and/or preview complicated reports. Among the components included with ActiveReports are exports to file formats such as PDF, Excel, RTF, and Word and other. ActiveReports also includes Visual Studio integrated report designer, and an API that developers use to create customized reports from a variety of data sources.
ActiveReports allows to create and work with next types of reports:
- Section Reports with banded sections like the original ActiveReports (reminiscent of Microsoft Access reports). Really it is set of 2 similar formats (with some differences, like differences in scripts): XML-based (can be created by end-users) and CodeDOM-based (required Visual Studio).
- Report Definition Language based report types:
- RDL Reports with a continuous page layout like the original Data Dynamics Reports. Similar to reports from SQL Server Reporting Services.
- RDL Multi-Section Reports - extension of RDL Reports with different page sizes.
- RDL Dashboard Reports - web-first extension of RDL Reports to develop reports, which can be used as Dashboard.
- Page Reports with a fixed layout for pages. Created to reproduce legacy paper forms logic.Шаблон:Citation needed
ActiveReports has 2 editions: Standard and Professional (with some features unlocked).
