Report Sharp-Shooter Lite Edition by Perpetuum Software

Flexible easy to use reporting. Report Sharp-Shooter™ is designed for the .NET Framework, written in C#, and contains only 100% managed code. Report Sharp Shooter provides the ability to generate reports of any complexity from multiple data sources and export the generated reports to most formats including PDF, HTML, EMF, BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, Excel, Excel (XML), CSV, TXT, and RTF. Custom export filters can also be used. Report Sharp-Shooter Lite Edition provides basic product functionality and is intended to be used in Windows Forms applications. The delivery package contains the Windows Forms Viewer. It is the ideal solution for those developers whose project does not need to provide a user with the ability to modify report templates.

Report Sharp-Shooter is a suite of 100% managed components allowing the creation of both bound and unbound reports, with an unlimited number of master-detail relations, groups, columns and crosses. The report generation concept is very easy and suits both advanced and novice users: to generate, a report template is created and a developer can use one of three ways to do this:

Design report template in the Report Designer component

Create it dynamically using the wizard

Create it dynamically in a programmatic way

General product features:

100% .NET 2.0 compatible

Compatible with the most popular .NET IDEs: Visual Studio.NET, Borland C# Builder, Delphi.NET, Sharp Develop, etc. Moreover, it works without any IDE. The minimum requirement is that .NET Framework 2.0 is installed on the end-user’s machine

Supports WinForms and ASP.NET WebForms

XML-based report file format is easy to share over the Internet

Scripting is supported for C# and VB.NET, as well as for any language supported by the .NET Framework. No need to learn any additional script language

Open plug-in architecture, which means that you can easily add your own functionality by adding your own DLL(s) as plug-in(s). For instance, you can create an export filter for your needs and use it with Report Sharp-Shooter

Royalty-free run-time

Work with data sources:

Supports all .NET data sources, including ADO.NET DataSets, DataViews, Collections, Arrays and any classes that implement IEnumerable, IList or IListSource

Multiple data sources can be used in a single report

Compatible with ADO.NET, supports hierarchical data model with relations

Both bound and unbound modes are supported

Powerful binding model allows you to bind all controls properties to data fields, systems, and local variables, as well as to custom expressions written in a current script language (C# or VB.NET)

Report design features:

Report Designer allows the creation and customization of both report templates and rendered documents. These operations can be conducted at design-time as well as at run-time

Support for smart tags on Report Sharp-Shooter components allows editing element properties without invoking the property grid

Intelligent Report Wizard prevents developers from wasting time and effort during the process of report creation. A few mouse clicks quickly result in a report of any complexity

MasterReport concept allows developers to create a single master form with an appearance which adheres to corporate standards, and then use it in further report designs. It allows a user to assign a report template containing all recurring elements once and then apply it to further reports by a single mouse click, paying attention only to the contents of the reports

The built-in End User Designer allows end-users to make modifications both in the report template and in the document

Import from Crystal Reports and Active Reports

Report model features:

Generated reports are stored in the form of objects graphs (using ReportDOM).

A built-in charting component allows the visual presentation of data contained in the report.

A native Pivot Table component allows adding OLAP functionality to your reports.
