Branch Out With Multiple Report Types

Extensible APIs

Design Once, Use Everywhere
Reports designed with any of our report designers can be used in any desktop or web applications.
Export to Multiple Formats
Pick from layout-driven page reports, scrolling RDL reports, and code-based section reports to create a full-featured report library.
Conditional Formatting
Conditionally format your C# .NET reports easily using expressions. Expressions are simple scripts that you can use to calculate values, concatenate strings, or set a condition under which a style is applied.
Drill-Down Reporting
Drill-down functionality allows you to present an overview of your report while giving your users the ability to drill down into the more granular levels of data by clicking '+' icon. Drill Down reporting is as simple as setting the 'Toggle' property in ActiveReports.
Drill-Through Reporting
The Drill-Through feature is a way of presenting the same data, or a subset of data, in a different layout and with different controls. Add another layer of efficacy by passing parameters to filter the child report.
Sparklines
Embed Sparklines in your .NET reports to show data trends in a simple chart. Sparklines can show data as Line, Column, Whisker, Area, or StackedBar type.
Subreports
Re-use your reports, or use data from multiple disparate data sources in a single report with subreports. Changes in subreport will automatically show everywhere it is used.
Dynamic Reporting
Use expressions and custom code to control report behavior at runtime. Use events to dynamically bind reports to data.
Parameterized Reports
Another way to create dynamic reports is to use Parameters. Parameters are prompts to take user input and filter the data to the desired volume.
Charts
ActiveReports offers a total of 85 chart types across different chart technologies. Some of those charts include Area Charts, Bar Charts, Bubble Charts, Column Charts, Financial Charts, Line Charts, Pie Charts, Scatter Charts, and other complex charts.
WYSIWYG Report Layout
With defined boundaries for each report item, Page reports generate a pixel-perfect, WYSIWYG, report.
Table of Contents
Feature Subhead
Display an organized hierarchy of report heading levels and labels, along with their page numbers, in the body of your report.
Aggregates
Create financial .NET accounting reports with ActiveReports using a table and Tablix controls that have built-in support for aggregates and calculated fields to summarize accounting data.
Nested Controls
Group one control inside another. Controls, such as a textbox, table, Tablix, and shapes, allow you to place other controls inside them. You can nest a chart, image, or even a table inside another table.
Master Reports
Create dynamic templates for maintaining branding, layout, themes, data sources, code, and apply them across all reports. Control what areas of the report users can modify and lock the rest.
Mail Merge
Embed HTML text in your .NET reports using ActiveReports FormattedText control. As a versatile reporting control, Formatted Text is frequently used to create mail merge reports.
Hierarchical Layout
Create hierarchical, tree-view type, reports using the List, Table, Tablix, and BandedList controls. Embed one or more controls within each data region with grouping enabled and optionally set drill-down functionality.
RTL and Localization
ActiveReports supports both Left-To-Right and Right-To-Left text direction. Localize, ActiveReports controls, designers, and viewers to the Culture and Language Name property as defined by MSDN.
Multi-Column Reports
You can divide your report page into multiple columns, similar to MS Word. This demo shows a report with a 2-column layout and the table filling both columns.
