As for Delphi applications, we understand that we are talking about applications implemented in VCL (Visual Component Library) for the Windows operating system. The popularity of Delphi VCL slightly faded with the advent of the C and .Net platform but there are lots of Delphi developers all around t...
Data sources do not always contain data. And when you build reports, even if the data source is empty, the page will be created, at least with headlines. On report generator forums, you can find questions from users about how to hide blank pages: "Please tell me how to skip (not print) a blank pag...
Most advanced report generators let us generate reports for web applications. When displaying reports to users, consider the ability to navigate on their web pages, send to print, export to any format, and other functions.

Lately many countries have been digitizing payment processes. In other words, they convert existing payments to digital format. The most common way to automate payments is to use QR codes that are easily read by smartphones. The ability to encode a sufficiently large amount of information, high dama...

Recently many countries digitize payments. In other words, they convert existing payments to digital format. The most common way to automate payments is to use QR codes that are easily read by smartphones. The ability to encode a sufficiently large amount of information, high damage resistance, no n...
When you develop the same reports, or reports with the same bands, you can use the inheritance of reports. That is a basic report that will be used as a basis for others. This will provide a uniform component to the set of reports you create. Just working with such a set of identical reports, the u...
Many users of report generators are interested in setting up the toolbar when reviewing the report. Such questions appear periodically on forums and questionnaires.

This may be necessary if the report was developed with the use of the test database, or a database simply "moved" to another location. Or maybe the other way around you need to connect a report to the test...
Often, when creating reports, we have to deal with databases that are far from ideal. The various "features", sometimes get us stuck. For example, how to build a report based on multiple datasets, which will result in MS SQL stored procedures? When you create a data source in the report, we can use ...
Many users of report generators fairly standard functionality in their everyday work. But sometimes they have to deal with non-trivial tasks, and then search for a solution may take a lot of time and effort. But perhaps the best solution is to ask the developers to get the most qualified assistance....
Sorting data is one of the most important data processing tools. We can say, it is the basis of the analysis. Analysing chaotic output data is almost impossible. Therefore, sorting provides all the tools that work with data. This also applies to reporting tools. After all, the data source may provid...
When you create reports, you often need to transfer some values from outside. This is to filter the data into the report, or to manage the logic of the report. In my practice of using FastReport.Net, I often encounter this need. Since I mostly work with web reports, I pass the parameters into the re...
When making the report, we want it to be "friendly" to the consumers as much as possible. Too much data and design elements processing makes people's understanding of information more unfavourable. As a result, many people want to delete spaces in a table without data. FastReport.Net report generato...
