.NET Report Designer Application

Design Reports with Ease

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 Multiple Data Sources

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.

LEARN MORE

Customize Your Reports with Runtime Scripts

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.

Group and Aggregate Data

.NET Reporting Subsection

Grouping and Aggregation

Separate a large amount of data into subsections to better organize your report. Along with grouping, FlexReport provides intelligent aggregation (running totals) in your report. The running total (sum, average, min, max, count, etc) is based upon its position in the report. Display totals for an entire report or just for each subsection or group.

.NET Reporting Cross-Tabs

Create Cross-Tab Reports

Cross-tab reports group data in two dimensions (down and across). They are useful for summarizing large amounts of data in a format that cross-references information like a pivot table.

Additional .NET Reporting Features

Sort and Filter Data

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

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

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.

Embed 70+ Chart Types

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

Subreports

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.

Unique Report Fields

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.

Crystal and C1Report Migration

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

Supports Azure Deployment

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

Save and Export

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.

Preview and Embed Reports with FlexViewer

With the separate FlexViewer control, you can view and embed FlexReports in your WinForms, WPF, UWP and ASP.NET MVC applications. The report viewer supports printing, export, thumbnails, rotate pages, search, and responsive layouts for mobile web applications. FlexViewer can also display PDF and SSRS reports.
