Active Reports
ActiveReports is a .NET reporting tool used by developers of WinForms and ASP.NET applications. It was originally developed by Data Dynamics, which was then acquired by GrapeCity. ActiveReports is a set of components and tools that facilitates the production of reports to display data in documents and web-based formats. It is written in managed C# and allows Visual Studio programmers to leverage their knowledge of C# or Visual Basic.NET when programming with ActiveReports.
Among the components included with ActiveReports are exports to file formats such as PDF, Excel, RTF, and TIFF. The main component is a Visual Studio report designer with banded sections and an API that developers use to create customized reports from a variety of data sources. ActiveReports also includes a Windows Viewer control with a customizable toolbar that supports split and multi-page views, has a Table of Contents pane with a new Thumbnail view tab, and can perform text searches of reports.
The Professional Edition of ActiveReports adds to the Standard Edition tools an End-User Report Designer control that developers use to host the report designer in their own Microsoft Windows applications to let end users create and modify reports. It also includes a server-side Web viewer with Flash, PDF, and HTML viewer types; ASP.NET HTTP Handlers that export reports to HTML or PDF format without custom code; and PDF security features like time stamping and digital signatures.
The ActiveReports Professional Edition is included in the ActiveReports Reporting and BI Suite that also contains two additional products - Data Dynamics Reports and ActiveAnalysis.

Famous quotes containing the words active and/or reports:
“If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they’d realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
