Powerful Reporting Engine

At the heart of ClientUI Reporting is a powerful, blazing-fast reporting engine that is capable to process report document in the most efficient way possible. The reporting engine ships with full scripting support, enabling you to write C# style scripting in your report. In fact, you can even access many of the classes and functionality available in .NET Framework through the C# scripting – making it possible for you to author dynamic business reports with complex requirements.

True Client-Side Report Engine

Say good bye to sluggish, traditional server-side report engine. Designed entirely for client-side rendering, ClientUI Reporting will never compromise with performance, thanks to its efficient data retrieval process. The report engine downloads the raw data from the server which is at least 4 times smaller than typical server-side rendered report. Combined with the ultra-efficient rendering pass built into the engine, your report size is no longer a concern.

Datasource-Agnostic

Built for ultimate flexibility, ClientUI Reporting lets you connect to any datasource as long as they are reachable – from web services, Web API, WCF RIA Services, DevForce, to virtually any objects that can be serialized over the wire. Forget the tedious database-specific configuration, all you need in ClientUI Reporting is simply defining the data definitions.

C# Style Scripting Engine

Featuring a rock-solid scripting engine, you can now write C# code and access to full .NET library from within your reports. It allows you to get or set a property of an object, or even create new objects. And the best of all, the script engine performs nearly as fast as the compiled runtime execution. It also supports scripting in the report events which can be authored directly in the report document – allowing you to create dynamic report without requiring recompilation.

Comprehensive Components

ClientUI Reporting is equipped with a vast array of built-in report components optimized for line-of-business scenarios, including text box, image, various shapes, and over 200+ bar code types. It also supports more advanced report components such as multi page support, nested data bands, table, and sub report – all comes with fully customization settings and behaviors.

Advanced Report Viewer

Along with an intuitive viewer control, ClientUI Reporting offers sophisticated viewing experiences and blazing-fast rendering to display compelling business reports without performance bottleneck. It employs the most advanced rendering technique that loads pages seamlessly in the background which dramatically increase the overall application's responsiveness. It delivers sophisticated features that users will definitely love to see such as searching a text in the document, precise text selection, copy to clipboard, zooming, printing, as well as exporting support to many popular format.

Pixel-Perfect Report Rendering

ClientUI Reporting runs fully on the client-side, starting from the data source population and data shaping to the pixel-perfect report generation and rendering. Every single detail is thoughtfully designed so you can easily deliver the most compelling reports to users. It automatically handles common layout issues such as line overlapping, border intersection, double line removal – which ultimately delivers the best viewing experiences.

Smart Background Loading

With the new smart background loading feature in ClientUI Reporting, size doesn't matter anymore – so you don't have to worry on the report performance when it produces large number of pages. Unlike the traditional reporting solutions which require all pages to be processed and rendered beforehand, ClientUI Reporting employs an innovative report processing algorithm that allows pages to be rendered at background and asynchronously updated to the screen as the rendering is in progress. The result is obvious – improved responsiveness and awesome user experiences.

End-User Report Designer

Designed with single logical report container concept, a report document can be independently deployed without dependencies on certain backend or a specific component. Building on this principle, the ClientUI Report Viewer allows users to edit the report right from within the application interface. With the simplicity of a property set, you can give users the capability to modify, preview and save the reports back to the report server.

Export to Popular Format

Users can easily export the current report document to one of the supported popular document format. ClientUI Reporting supports exporting to PDF, HTML, Excel as well as images format like JPEG, PNG, TIFF. Building on the advanced rendering technique, users can expect fast export throughput. The export result is near-identical with the document viewer result while the quality may vary based on the specified settings of the format.

Easy-to-use Report Designer

ClientUI Reporting includes a full-featured report designer which is built from the ground up with modern design workspace that emphasizes on true WYSIWYG authoring experience.
