Ultimate .NET

Template designer

The standalone desktop report designer is the heart of FastReport. It allows both developers and users to create, edit, view, save, export, and print custom reports without much hassle. The designer can be used at run-time. This will allow your users to independently edit existing documents and create new ones. The designer can also be used in MDI (Multi-Document Interface) mode to work with several reports simultaneously.

Localization is supported for more than 25 popular languages of the world.

Ultimate .NET is a band-oriented report generator. A rich set of bands allows you to build reports of any type: list, master-detail, report with grouping, multi-column, master-detail-detail, and others. If you need to create many reports that contain the same elements (header, footer, company details, logos), then you can collect common elements into a base report and inherit all other reports from it. We also support subreports.

Royalty-Free Report Designer

The FastReport online report designer allows users to create, edit, and view reports from devices on the Android, iOS, or Windows platforms. The designer can be launched on any device with a modern browser, be it a computer, tablet, smartphone, game console, or TV. Full-featured operation in the browser is possible thanks to the touch-oriented design of the designer. The online designer has a familiar business user interface of an office application with full support for hotkeys. The designer does not use Flash or Java technologies, reducing loading and saving time.

Data processing

Ultimate .NET works with ADO .NET data sources. It supports data sorting and filtering, master-detail relationships. Everything can be configured with a few clicks. It is possible to connect to ADO, MS SQL, and XML databases. Connectors are available for connecting to other types of databases, and you can also obtain data from business objects of the IEnumerable type.

Your report may contain data (tables, queries, database connections). This way, you can not only use the data available in your application but also independently connect to any database directly from the report. Ultimate .NET contains a scripting engine that supports C# and VB .NET. You can harness the power of .NET in your report for complex data processing, dialog form management, and more.

The report may contain dialog forms to request parameters before the report is built. Dialog controls support the ability to connect to data and then filter it. Filtering can be added to absolutely any report; it does not require writing any code. Using the visual query builder, you don't need to know SQL to build a complex query from multiple tables.

Preview and print

The pre-prepared report can be examined in detail in the Report Viewer's preview window. Our component supports working with parameters, multi-level detailing, and interactive reports. You can define a response to a mouse click on an object in the preview window. For example, you can build and display another report that shows detailed information about the object the user clicked on.

Additional printing settings. The following options are available to you: cutting large report pages into small ones, printing several small pages on one large one, and printing in a given format with scaling. Do you need to print a report containing A3 pages on a regular A4 printer? Now, this is not a problem!

Exports to convenient formats

Filters for exporting the finished report to many formats: PDF, RTF, XLSX, XML, DOCX, TXT, CSV, PowerPoint, HTML, MHT, XPS, JPEG, BMP, PNG, Open Document Format (ODT, ODS, ODP), XAML, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), DBF, PPML, etc. Cloud support: OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, FastReport Cloud.

Ultimate .NET allows you to quickly convert reports with editable fields (such as text fields, combo boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, and graphics fields) into PDF documents without connecting additional libraries. Save your reports in popular formats: PDF 1.5, PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-2u, PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b, PDF/X-3 and PDF/X-4, which are secure, accessible and reliable.

Improved data visualization

Ultimate .NET includes additional tools for data analysis: FastReport Business Graphics for better representation of hierarchic data in diagrams (Treemap, Bubble, Sunburst, Icicle, Gantt) and FastCube for multidimensional OLAP analysis in grids. These tools help to visualize the data in a more convenient fashion for faster informed decisions. Business Graphics and FastCube .NET create interactive reports, allowing users to dive deep into the data. Perfect integration with other solutions with the Ultimate Package.
