Report can contain data sources (tables, queries, DB connections). Thus you can not only use application-defined datasets but also connect to any database and use tables and queries directly inside the report.
Using visual query builder you don't have to learn the SQL language to create a complex query involving several data tables.
FastReport .NET has a built-in script engine that supports two .NET languages, C# and VB .NET. You can use all of the .NET power in your reports to perform complex data handling, manage the interactions with dialogue forms and much more.
Report can contain dialogue forms to prompt for parameters before the report is run. Dialogue controls have a built-in data filtering feature that allows you to view the data from a report data source and filter it in a few mouse clicks, all without writing a line of code.
