rdf:langString ActiveReports is a .NET reporting tool used by developers of .NET, MVC, JavaScript, WinForms, and ASP.NET applications. It was originally developed by Data Dynamics, which was then acquired by GrapeCity. ActiveReports is a set of components and tools that facilitates the production of reports to display data in documents and web-based formats. It is written in managed C# code and allows Visual Studio programmers to leverage their knowledge of C# or Visual Basic.NET when programming with ActiveReports. Among the components included with ActiveReports are exports to file formats such as PDF, Excel, RTF, and Word. The main components are a Visual Studio integrated report designer, and an API that developers use to create customized reports from a variety of data sources. ActiveReports Standard Edition includes a Visual Query Designer, a customizable Windows Viewer control, and a WPF Viewer control. The integrated report designer handles three types of reports: * Section Reports with banded sections like the original ActiveReports (reminiscent of Microsoft Access reports) * Page Reports with a fixed layout for forms * RDL Reports with a continuous page layout like the original Data Dynamics Reports (uses Report Definition Language) The Professional Edition of ActiveReports includes the Standard Edition tools plus End-User Report Designer controls for desktop and web. Developers can host these report designers in their own Microsoft Windows and web applications to let end users create and modify reports. It also includes a client side JavaScript viewer, server-side ASP.NET viewer, ASP.NET HTTP Handlers that export reports to HTML or PDF format without custom code and advanced PDF encryption.
