The FlexReport Designer is a "WYSIWYG" application that makes it easy to design reports without any coding skills. Drag and snap fields into the banded report sections, configure the data source, and export to a number of formats. It all begins when the FlexReport Wizard helps get you started.

Connect to a variety of data source providers including OLEDB, ODBC, XML, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle, OData, JSON, CSV, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, QuickBooks Online, and Google Analytics. You can add, edit, or remove multiple data sources from the Data tab, including stored procedures.

Create your own coded expressions within the running report to provide more functionality. The .NET Report Designer supports a rich expression editor to add VBScript that can execute at runtime. For example, you can add conditional formatting to text in the report based upon values retrieved from the data source. The editor supports auto-code completion and Visual Studio-like IntelliSense.

With ComponentOne Studio Enterprise you get access to the FlexReport Designer application source code which you can customize or distribute as-is. Put the power of complete report design, preview, and export in your users hands using this WinForms Report Designer application for .NET Framework or .NET 6+.

Organize your data before it's displayed in the report with provided sorting and filtering features. Sort data in ascending order or drill-down to filter a record's details.

Calculated fields are useful because they generate values that are not stored in the database at runtime, such as performing a mail merge, or calculating the difference between profit gain and loss.

Report parameters in FlexReport can be used to create subreports, pass multiple values to a field, create expressions for calculated fields, or help with large data sets using cascading parameters.

Add over 70 different types of charts to your report. The FlexChart field uses flexible data binding and supports grouping and data aggregation.

Easily design hierarchical reports using the Subreport field. You can link multiple reports into a subreport automatically through the designer, or write a filter expression yourself. Subsection reports are collapsible.

FlexReport boasts a unique collection of fields you can add to your reports including barcodes, shapes, checkboxes, maps, gradients, and RTF and HTML for formatted rich text.

Certain features for migration like sub-sections, complex expressions, special ordered group and enhanced border styles are all supported by FlexReport.

Use FlexReport in a Web API for exporting reports and exposing other APIs on Azure. This deployment option is supported on Windows only.

FlexReport can be directly exported through code or designer to a wide variety of formats: DOCX, HTML, XLS, XLSX, RTF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PDF and PDFA. You can also save the report definition file used for displaying generated reports in .NET applications.

The WinForms FlexReport reporting engine is the original version with the most feature-rich ribbon toolbar for displaying reports. The FlexReport Designer is also natively written in WinForms.

From building complex reports to previewing, exporting, and printing, FlexReport for WPF, provides the same ability to present data in a consolidated format. Generate attractive and feature-rich reports, and display them with a native WPF report viewer.

Add reporting capabilities to your UWP applications. Reports are generated locally within the UWP application (as opposed to being generated on a server). The application is self-contained, so you don't have to write a separate web service to provide the reports.

View reports on the web with a mobile-friendly, responsive report viewer. FlexReport for ASP.NET MVC also includes Web API REST services with which the viewer communicates to load and display reports to the client.
