ActiveReports is an integrated ad-hoc report designer for Microsoft .NET developers. It is the .NET reporting tool of choice for hardcore developers who can push it to the limit using the extensive APIs, but still makes it easy to create entry-level reports using the familiar Visual Studio integrated designers. ActiveReports satisfies the needs of virtually any .NET reporting or ASP.NET reporting application in a wide variety of business sectors including healthcare, insurance, financial, banking, engineering, manufacturing and scientific.
The flexibility of ActiveReports supports the creation of reports that range in functionality from form-based reports such as invoices and insurance documents, to transaction reports such as sales and accounting, to analytical reports such as sales and budget analysis and portfolio analysis. With an extensive API and a flexible event model, ActiveReports developers are armed with tools that allow them to meet the most challenging demands to create advanced reporting and printing solutions for their end users.

- Fixed Page Layout gives developers a new way of creating reports where layout is the primary focus. Great for creating invoices, prospectus reports, forms, or other highly structured reports.
- Continuous Page Layout makes it easy to create reports using tables, crosstabs, charts, and other data regions with flexible layouts.
- Section-based Reports follow the tradition of previous ActiveReports versions as well as being similar to Access reports. Using code-behind or scripts, you can respond to the various events that occur while the report generates to create extremely customized reports that are hard to produce with other products.

ActiveReports is optimized for speed. Its unique architecture allows the lean reporting engine to quickly read records from the data source and immediately render them to the output device. The simplicity of the design allows the data to pass through quickly from processing to rendering. |
 |
The extensive ActiveReports API allows Visual Basic and C# developers to completely control the report processing engine and fully customize it to their needs. Events and properties control the data retrieval, data transformation, layout and rendering. In addition, it gives the developer complete control over the rendered document to allow selective printing or export, post-render drawing or stamping on pages, n-page and booklet printing. For added control, ActiveReports provides unmanaged access to the print job, allowing tray selection and duplex printer management as the document is rendered to the printer. |
 |
Simple and lightweight report controls allow you to easily create dazzling reports. With a selection including textbox, checkbox, line, shape, cross section box, image, formatted text with mail merge, barcode (2D and 3D), chart, and other data visualization controls, they support a wide range of business reports.
You can create reports in any size, with nearly endless layout options. Whether you need a simple listing or groups with keep-together control, master-detail reports, sub-reports, horizontal and vertical multi-column reports, address labels and badges, or rich formatted letters with mail merge support, ActiveReports is the solution. |
 |
.NET data sources allow you to connect to any of the standard databases, plus .NET in-memory objects and collections. In addition, unbound data mode opens up the report to data from anywhere, in any form. If your application can access it, so can the report engine. |
 |
The ActiveReports report designer integrates with the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE allowing C# and Visual Basic developers to create reports and compile them into their Windows Forms, ASP.NET, and Silverlight applications. ActiveReports Professional Edition users can also use the royalty-free end-user report designer control to give similar report design functionality to end users within the business application. |
 |
ActiveReports offers versatile viewers to extend the reach of your reports to every platform. Built-in report viewers include Windows Forms, Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight and HTML5, all with built-in search functions, hyperlink interaction, a table of contents and multi-page zoom view support.
ActiveReports includes Adobe PDF export with advanced encryption and international font support, Microsoft Excel export and Rich Text Format (RTF) export. The extensive APIs allow fine control over the exported documents and their properties.
The ActiveReports reporting engine supports cloud computing on Microsoft's Windows Azure platform under partial trust. |
 |
ActiveReports helps you preserve your past investments with easy report conversion from Microsoft Access and SAP Crystal Reports, thus greatly reducing the effort involved in recreating old reports when you migrate. Instead of starting from scratch, you’ll be up and running in no time. |
 |
You can localize the ActiveReports user interface to meet the needs of all of your international users. (There are fully localized Chinese and Japanese versions for those specific markets.) Localization also extends to the reports themselves: the reporting engine can use locale-specific text and you can format data in the way your users are used to seeing it in their locales without creating multiple reports. |
 |
ActiveReports uses X-Copy deployment, making installation of your applications incredibly simple. There are no special merge modules to include, no licensing servers to install alongside your application, and no onerous activation procedures to go through! |
