Data Dynamics Reports

Award-winning ActiveReports technology for Microsoft Visual Studio re-engineered from the ground up with direct support for Business Reporting via visual report designers, business dashboards, key performance indicators (KPIs), Microsoft Excel transformation, and more.

Data Dynamics Reports Features and Benefits

Dashboards and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for Business Reporting
Data Dynamics Reports includes built-in dashboard controls. For example, spark lines allow users to see trends while also viewing the primary data display. And bullet graphs give users an instantaneous view of how a KPI or other statistic is currently doing, broken down into two to three ranges and displaying an optional target—all in a space-saving display.

Advanced Data Visualisation to Highlight Key Business Data
Data Dynamics Reports includes data visualisers that make it easy to analyse business reports by highlighting key data elements, thus reducing the time and effort needed to make business decisions. For example, color scale maps a numeric value onto a range of colors, reducing the complexity of dealing with a large number of discrete data elements. Icon sets set off information with status flags and corresponding images, based on either absolute or calculated values. And range bars and data bars can be used to visually indicate numbers and number ranges, actual progress vs. planned progress, etc.

Microsoft Excel Transformation for Excel Business Users
Data Dynamics Reports includes a new Excel Transformation Device that makes it possible to analyse numbers using the familiar Excel environment. More than a simple export, the Excel Transformation Device allows users to change their reports into useful Excel spreadsheets and take full advantage of all Excel has to offer. For example, developers can bind data to Excel charts or pivot tables, enabling users to see the display change as they perform what-if analyses.

Microsoft Report Definition Language (RDL) Reporting Format
Data Dynamics Reports supports Microsoft's Report Definition Language (RDL) format, enabling developers who work in Microsoft SQL Server to use a reporting format they're already familiar with. In addition, Data Dynamics Reports extends RDL beyond what SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) supports, adding support for reporting themes, reporting templates, and data visualisation.

Page-Layout-Based Visual Studio Report Designers for Maximum Ease of Design
Data Dynamics Reports features a rich, usable, embeddable, full-page layout-based Report Designer Application for Windows Forms. It comes with two versions of the Report Designer - one is tightly integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio to harness all the productivity of the Visual Studio IDE that you are used to, and the other is a stand-alone Designer for business users who do not have access to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Full-Fledged End-User Report Designer for Business Users
The same Report Designer that is available inside Visual Studio and as a stand-alone application can be embedded into your .NET WinForms application in the form of a control and provided to end users for their own reporting needs.

Powerful ASP.NET AJAX-based End-User Report Viewer for a Native Web Experience
Data Dynamics Report features a powerful, easy-to-use Web Report Viewer component that can be used in Web projects to display reports. It provides easy access to navigational features, a number of export features including a wide variety of documents and graphic formats, and other advanced features such as Pan Mode, Snapshot mode, Preview mode, Copy and Zoom.

Reporting Master Templates for Higher End-User Productivity
Reporting templates provide report authors with a consistent base layout to work from, as well as common data sources, data sets, report parameters, embedded images, themes, and custom code. Developers use these templates to give end users a set of content and formats they can start with. Report authors working on a suite of reports use them to create a consistent look across the entire suite.

Predefined, Customisable Reporting Themes for Consistent Look and Feel Theme support
Theme support allows report designers to use a standard set of colors, fonts, and images throughout a set of documents—not only creating consistency across documents, but also enabling the look of a whole family of reports to be updated by changing just one theme file.

Smart Panels to Quickly Customise All Aspects of Your Reports
Data Dynamics Reports includes a collection of smart panels that bring together related sets of properties in one place to allow easy and fast customisation of various aspects of your report. The available Smart Panels include the Data Source Panel, the Data Set Panel, The Report Menu Panel and the Report Layout Panel.

Built-In Chart Report Item for Convenient and Good Looking Charts
Data Dynamics Reports includes a chart control that supports all of the most commonly used 2D and 3D chart types, including XY charts and financial charts. With advanced charting features like custom axes, annotations, markers, legends, and constant lines, you can create any chart you need. Using code, you can natively export charts to various image formats.

Export to a Wide Variety of Document and Graphic Formats
Data Dynamics includes tools for exporting your .NET reports to popular document formats and to to a wide variety of graphic formats. You can use them in both Windows-based and Web-based applications. Provide export options for your users, or have your application create the exports automatically. With a separate DLL for each export format, you are free to use and deploy any combination.

Export Report to Image
You can render your reports into any of six different graphic formats when you select Image as the export type: BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG and EMF.

Export Report to HTML
HTML, or hypertext markup language, is a format that opens in a Web browser. You can control whether to save the report as an MHTML web archive.

Export Report to PDF
Data Dynamics Reports features powerful PDF reporting features with a wide variety of attributes to control how your PDF document is created.

Export Report to Microsoft Excel (XLS)
Microsoft Excel (XLS) is a format that opens in Microsoft Excel as a spreadsheet. Data Dynamics Reports includes a Microsoft Excel transformation engine for true Excel reporting. More than a simple export, the Excel Transformation Device allows users to change their reports into useful Excel spreadsheets and take full advantage of all Excel has to offer.

Export Report to Microsoft Word
Data Dynamics Reports uses the Microsoft Word HTML format to export to Microsoft Word 2000 and Word 2003 formats.

Migration Tools to convert from MS Access and ActiveReports
Data Dynamics Reports comes with utilities for converting from Microsoft Access, Crystal Reports and ActiveReports to Data Dynamics Reports (RDLX) reporting file formats.

ActiveReports 2.0 for ActiveX

ActiveReports combines the power and ease of Microsoft Visual Basic with advanced ActiveX Designer component technology to provide the ultimate report designer for Visual Basic developers.

ActiveReports is fully integrated in the Visual Basic programming environment. It feels and works like VB with no more cryptic scripts or workarounds. ActiveReports provides a fully open architecture that lets you use VB code, ActiveX, and OLE Objects in your reports so you can handle the toughest of reports without limits.

ActiveReports includes a Report Wizard that steps you through creating simple reports without writing any code. The wizard is integrated into the Visual Basic environment as an add-in module.

ActiveReports is based on the Active Designer specification, which allows a component to be integrated into the hosting design environment, and allows it to make full use of the environment's services.

The designer is a fully compliant ActiveX control and object host. You can insert any control or OLE object, such as a graph or document, into your reports. OLE objects can be bound to BLOB fields in your database.
