具有 IEnumerable 数据连接的 .NET 报表控件允许将内存中集合或运行时生成的数据动态绑定到报表。

IEnumerable data connectivity allows for easy binding of reports to in-memory collections or objects that implement the IEnumerable interface, such as lists and arrays.

This provides increased flexibility in data provisioning, easier integration with object-oriented application architectures, and the ability to manage data from runtime-generated collections, all of which improve the adaptability and maintainability of reporting systems.

Several .NET reporting components offer IEnumerable data connectivity including:

  • DevExpress Reports (Multi-Platform) lets you bind IEnumerable data sources seamlessly, offering flexibility for cross-platform reporting with dynamic data handling.
  • ActiveReports.NET by MESCIUS facilitates IEnumerable connectivity for lightweight, in-memory data reporting, supporting complex business logic and non-database scenarios.
  • Telerik Reporting enables direct binding to IEnumerable collections, simplifying integration of runtime data into professional reports for .NET applications.
  • List & Label Enterprise Reporting Edition by combit lets you use IEnumerable sources for custom data-driven reporting, emphasizing scalability and real-time data updates.
