When creating a SQL database connection, you can specify a query to select filtered or combined data. The standard tools of the data source creation wizard also allow you to include parameters in the SQL query. In this case, the designation of the parameter will depend on the type of DBMS to which the connection is made. For example, for MS SQL parameter in the query has the prefix @. And for the Access database instead of the parameter the symbol "?" is indicated. If there are several parameters, they will be inserted into the request according to the order in the list of parameters.

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.

We have added a new import function from JasperReports. To use it, go to the "File" menu in the FastReport .NET designer and select "Open ...". In the window that appears, select the filter "JasperReports files (*.jrxml)". The selected file will be automatically converted to a FastReport .NET report and opened in the designer.
The resulting imported report may have differences, and most likely, you will have to finalize it — change the properties of objects and add connections.
JasperReports "Table" objects w ...
