It enables developers to embed advanced, interactive reports directly into their desktop software. Supporting multiple data sources such as SQL databases, XML, JSON, and business objects, it offers a flexible and high-performance solution for creating rich, customizable reports. The visual report designer allows drag-and-drop report creation without heavy coding, while scripting with C# or VB.NET enables custom logic and data handling. FastReport WPF supports exporting to many popular formats, interactive features like drill-down and filtering, and provides full print preview and printing capabilities. It’s ideal for businesses needing dynamic and visually rich reports integrated seamlessly into WPF apps.
