Design Reports with Ease in Web Browsers

September 26, 2025
DevExpress ASP.NET Core Reporting offers powerful, browser-based tools for creating, customizing, and delivering interactive reports.

DevExpress ASP.NET Core is a powerful suite of UI components and reporting tools designed to enhance the development of modern, data-driven web applications built with ASP.NET Core. It leverages the flexibility of client-side JavaScript libraries like DevExtreme with the ease of server-side ASP.NET Core Razor syntax and Web APIs. This hybrid approach allows developers to build rich, responsive UIs with features like data grids, editors, schedulers, and charts, while maintaining the productivity and control of server-side development.

DevExpress ASP.NET Core Reporting includes a web-based report designer that lets users build and edit reports directly in their browser. This removes the need for separate desktop tools or installations, making it easier to deploy and manage. The browser-based approach works across platforms and provides a consistent interface for editing layouts, data connections, and formatting. It also allows business users to handle report changes on their own, reducing the amount of hands-on support developers need to provide, while fitting easily into existing ASP.NET applications.

DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor licensing page for full details.

DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor is available to buy in the following products:

Convert Chart Data into Report-Ready Formats

September 24, 2025
Take visual insights beyond the browser with export tools that convert interactive charts into shareable, printable, and embeddable formats.

Export features in charting components allow developers and users to take visualized data beyond the browser, whether for sharing, archiving, or integrating into reports and presentations. These tools support a wide range of formats and workflows, transforming interactive charts into portable assets that can be printed, saved, or embedded in other applications. By offering export capabilities alongside dynamic charting, modern components bridge the gap between visual exploration and formal communication of data, ensuring insights can be distributed effectively in both digital and hardcopy formats.

Common features include:

  • Exporting to CSV allows users to extract the underlying data behind a chart into a structured, plain-text format suitable for spreadsheets and data processing tools.
  • Exporting to HTML enables charts to be converted into standalone HTML snippets, preserving interactivity for use in dashboards or embedded web reports.
  • Exporting to Image such as PNG or JPEG images enables easy sharing in emails, slide decks, or documents where interactivity isn't required.
  • Exporting to PDF allows charts to be included in high-fidelity, print-ready documents, useful for formal reporting or offline distribution.
  • Exporting to SVG generates resolution-independent vector graphics that can be scaled or edited in design tools.
  • Exporting to XLS/XLSX enables charts and their associated data to be embedded into Excel files, supporting deeper spreadsheet-based analysis or reporting.
  • Printing support ensures users can produce physical copies of charts, with control over layout, sizing, and page formatting.

Upload Files in Bulk with Greater Control

September 22, 2025
Queuing multiple files for upload in .NET components offers efficient batch transfers, progress tracking, and seamless FTP integration.

Queuing multiple files for upload in .NET components refers to the ability to stage several files for transfer either sequentially or in parallel, rather than requiring each to be uploaded individually. This capability is especially valuable in applications where users need to upload large sets of files - such as images, documents, or backups - without manually initiating each upload. It enhances efficiency by automating the process, supporting better resource management and enabling features such as progress tracking, retry mechanisms, and batch error handling. When integrated with protocols like FTP (File Transfer Protocol), this feature becomes critical for systems that handle bulk file distribution, content management, or remote data archiving. For instance, a content management system might allow editors to upload an entire gallery at once, while a backup tool could automatically queue system logs for nightly FTP transfer.

Several .NET Comms & Messaging components support queuing multiple files for upload including:

  • IPWorks SFTP .NET Edition by /n software enables queuing of multiple files for upload or download, then processes all transfers together with control over simultaneous transfer limits.
  • Telerik Upload for ASP.NET Core (part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core) lets you select and queue multiple files before uploading, with individual progress tracking and validation.
  • Xceed FTP for .NET by Xceed Software facilitates sending or receiving many files in bulk, with support for wildcards, filtering, resume, and asynchronous operations.

Apply Custom Branding to Report Interfaces

September 19, 2025
Telerik Report Server 2025 Q3 adds white-labeling, enabling enterprises to replace default branding with custom colors, logos, and icons.

Telerik Report Server is a comprehensive and flexible end-to-end solution for managing reports. Built with the Telerik Reporting library, it is a server-based Windows web application that provides centralized storage, organization, and previewing of reports, along with features for scheduling, delivery, and user management. Report Server can act as a standalone solution or be integrated within an application, allowing developers to create, manage, and distribute reports across multiple platforms including Blazor, Angular and Windows Forms.

The Telerik Report Server 2025 Q3 update introduces white-labeling, allowing development teams to align the Report Server web application and Standalone Report Designer with their organization’s visual standards. This capability enables administrators to replace default branding elements such as colors, logos, and favicons with enterprise-specific assets, creating a consistent user interface across internal systems. By integrating into existing environments, the update helps reduce visual fragmentation, improve user trust, and improve the experience for both internal and external stakeholders.

To see a full list of what's new in 2025 Q3 (11.2.25.813), see our release notes.

Telerik Report Server is licensed per developer and has two licensing models: an annual Subscription License and a Perpetual License. The Subscription license provides access to the latest product updates, technical support, and exclusive benefits for a flat annual fee, and must be renewed to continue using the software. The Perpetual license is a one-time purchase granting access to the current released version and includes a one-year subscription for product updates and technical support. After this initial period, users can choose to renew the subscription element to continue receiving updates and support; otherwise, they may continue using the installed version available during their active subscription term but will forgo future updates and support.
