Let Users Create and Edit .NET Reports
Add an end user report designer to let users adjust layouts, arrange data fields, and save reports without requesting code changes.
An end user report designer lets users create and modify report layouts through a visual interface, either within a .NET application or using a standalone design tool. Users can arrange data fields, change formatting, and save templates for documents such as invoices, sales summaries, and operational reports. This allows developers to support different reporting requirements while reducing requests for routine layout changes.
Several .NET reporting components provide an end user report designer, including:
- ActiveReports.NET by MESCIUS includes a runtime designer in its Professional edition, with APIs for loading and saving layouts and customizing the design environment.
- Telerik Reporting offers an embeddable web report designer and a standalone desktop designer allowing end users to create, edit, and share reports.
- DevExpress Reporting provides end user designers for WinForms and WPF, allowing users to create reports, edit layouts, and preview results.
- Stimulsoft Reports.NET includes a report designer component for WinForms applications, enabling users to create new reports and modify existing templates.
