April 25, 2025
Telerik Reporting 2025 Q1 introduces user-triggered report previews for Blazor and Angular, improving rendering efficiency.

Telerik Reporting is a comprehensive and lightweight embedded reporting tool for .NET web and desktop applications. It enables developers and reporting users to create, design, and export visually appealing, interactive, and reusable reports to effectively present analytical and business data. It supports various technologies, including ASP.NET Core, Blazor, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET AJAX, HTML5/JS, Angular, WPF, WinForms, and WinUI.

It also supports more efficient resource management on both the client and server sides, enabling developers to create faster, more responsive, and user-friendly reporting experiences.
