• ComponentOne Reports for .NET DataSheet

Part of ComponentOne Studio Enterprise, ComponentOne Reports for .NET lets you quickly and easily create Microsoft Access-style database reports for your Visual Studio.NET applications. It includes two main elements.

The first, the C1Report component, generates Access-style, data-based banded reports that can be rendered directly to a printer, exported to various portable formats (including HTML, PDF, and text), or rendered into preview controls such as the Microsoft PrintPreview control or the ComponentOne C1PrintPreview control. The second, C1Report Designer, allows you to create and edit reports, or to import existing Microsoft Access reports. The Designer has a user interface that is similar to the one in Microsoft Access, so if you currently use VSView or Access, you will feel right at home with Reports for .NET.

Features

ComponentOne Reports for .NET includes two great tools: the C1Report component, which generates Access-style, database reports and its companion, C1ReportDesigner. The C1ReportDesigner is an application that can create, edit, load, and save report definition files that can be read directly by the C1Report component.

C1Report Component
The C1Report control reads report definitions stored in XML files, combines them with data from ADO/DAO recordsets or custom data sources, and generates reports that can be previewed, printed, or saved to files. It can create reports in HTML, DHTML, PDF, and Text file formats, as well as in a native VSPrinter7 format. The C1Report control supports most features found in Microsoft® Access reports, such as:

• A Microsoft Access-style banded-report model based on Groups, Sections, and Fields.
• Fields may be bound to simple and binary (object) database fields.
• Fields may contain expressions, including extensions for aggregate expressions (Sum, Max, Average, etc.), and have access to the control's object model.
• Reports may contain event handlers, making them independent of the host application.
• Reports may contain subreports.
• Reports may contain parameterized queries, allowing your users to customize the report by adding/limiting the data that should be included in the report.
• Report definitions may be saved within the control at design time, or loaded at run time from XML report definition files.

The C1Report control can be distributed royalty-free with your applications.

Companion Report Designer
Use the companion WYSIWYG Report Designer (C1ReportDesigner) to create, edit, load, and save report definition files. Report definition files are XML files that may contain multiple reports. The Report Designer can import report definitions from Microsoft Access MDB files and has a user interface similar to the Microsoft Access report designer, including a wizard that makes report creation a breeze. The Report Designer is not royalty-free; if you wish to distribute it as part of your applications, please contact ComponentOne.

Visual Studio 2005 Compatibility
Compiled natively for Visual Studio 2005, it delivers new product enhancements by supporting features for Visual Studio 2005 Windows Forms. More specifically, features include Smart Tags, Snap Lines, data binding, GDI+ text, and Managed Themes.
