Stimulsoft Reports.NET is a robust reporting tool designed for seamless integration and operation within Windows Forms applications. It empowers users to create, edit, view, export, and print reports of any complexity. The product includes a powerful, intuitively understandable report designer and an interactive viewer. Additionally, it provides a fully functional web viewer for the ASP.NET platform, extending its utility beyond desktop environments. A core component is the royalty-free report designer, specifically engineered for integration into WinForms applications. It requires minimal code, allowing clients to easily create new reports and work with existing ones. This designer supports localization in over 40 languages, features a familiar Ribbon UI, and includes numerous report wizards to streamline the design process. The designer is available both as a component for direct integration into WinForms projects and as a standalone application for developers working on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The report designer integrates AI functionality through the Stimul AI assistant, which aids various stages of report creation. This assistant can verify and correct connection strings for SQL data sources, check event script code, convert Blockly scripts to code, and validate expressions, significantly enhancing developer productivity and reducing errors. The dedicated report viewer component is optimized for speed, convenience, and full customizability, recognizing that reports are viewed more frequently than created or edited. It supports parameters, multi-level drill-down, interactive reports, and the viewing and saving of resources. For comprehensive integration, it offers a wide array of design themes and customization options for both appearance and functionality. The reporting tool supports diverse data connectivity methods, accessible through both the designer's functionality and programmatic code. It offers a vast list of supported data servers, including MS SQL, Firebird, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, and fully supports all standard OData protocol types. Data can also be sourced from various files such as XML, JSON, and Excel. Advanced features include preliminary data preparation and transformation, the creation of virtual data sources, and the ability to embed data directly into report templates as resources. Stimulsoft Reports.NET is designed for deep integration into WinForms projects, allowing all report actions to be performed programmatically using C#/VB.NET code. It provides extensive properties and events for both components and the report generator, ensuring tight integration within the application. A special component for report viewing in ASP.NET applications is also included. The product supports .NET Framework 4.5.2 and above, along with .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5, .NET 6, .NET 7, and .NET 8, ensuring broad compatibility with modern .NET environments. Developed with user suggestions in mind, Stimulsoft Reports.NET is highly multifunctional, flexible in customization, and quick in operation. It offers a wide array of components for report creation, supports a large number of data sources, and allows exporting finished documents to over 40 formats. Reports can be easily shared via email or social networks. The product emphasizes rapidity, convenience (featuring a Ribbon UI and Drag & Drop), conditional formatting, HiDPI support for high-resolution screens, robust template capabilities, cloud integration, support for nested reports, custom fonts and styles, and numerous report wizards. It ensures compatibility with other Stimulsoft products and provides tools for importing reports from other popular reporting systems into its universal internal format.
