Display Reports with Full Browser Flexibility

July 30, 2025
JavaScript report viewers deliver customizable, interactive reporting from .NET apps with fullscreen support, zoom control and flexible view modes.

A JavaScript report viewer in a .NET reporting component is a client-side web interface that allows users to view, navigate, and interact with reports generated by a .NET-based reporting engine. It enables embedding of reports into web applications built with JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, React, or Vue, while relying on the .NET backend to handle report generation and data processing. This setup allows developers to deliver responsive, interactive report viewing experiences within modern browser environments, without requiring full-page reloads or complex server-side rendering.

Several .NET reporting controls feature a JavaScript report viewer including:

  • ActiveReports.NET provides a lightweight JavaScript viewer for embedding RDL and Page Reports in web apps with zoom, navigation, and export support.
  • DevExpress Reports (Multi-Platform) facilitates cross-platform report viewing in JavaScript apps, enabling full interactivity and mobile responsiveness.
  • Telerik Reporting allows you to display rich, drill-down-enabled reports in JavaScript apps, supporting seamless integration, parameter handling, and export functionality.
  • List & Label Enterprise Reporting Edition lets you embed interactive reports in web apps, with responsive JavaScript viewers and export-ready, user-driven controls.

Simplify Data Entry with Inline Buttons in Blazor Apps

July 28, 2025
Embed command buttons in form fields or grids to enable faster, more intuitive user interactions and reduce reliance on separate UI elements.

Buttons embedded in data editors enhance user interactions by providing inline command triggers such as clearing input, opening dropdowns, or submitting data. These buttons can be integrated directly into form fields or data grids, enabling more intuitive and compact interfaces. Developers benefit from customization options like icons, styles, behaviors, and events, allowing button functionality to be tailored to application-specific workflows. The inclusion of command buttons in editors simplifies interactions without the need for external UI elements.

Several Blazor data editor collections offer button editor components including:

  • DevExpress Blazor Data Editors (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) incorporates built-in and custom command buttons within input controls, such as clear buttons in text inputs or spin buttons in numeric editors, using the DxEditorButton class to define behavior.
  • Telerik UI for Blazor Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for Blazor) supports button integration both in standalone forms and editor toolbars, offering styled buttons, icon support, and built-in command bindings like Submit, Reset, or custom user actions.
  • Syncfusion Essential Studio for Blazor Data Editors (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) enables the integration of command buttons (save, edit, delete) within DataGrid or in-place editors with interactive styling and event handling.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for Blazor Data Editors (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) provides the IgbButton component with variant and size configuration, toggle functionality, and the ability to include icon prefixes or suffixes, which can be embedded within data editors or form templates for interactive control.
