Reporting in C#

Generate powerful reports incorporating lists, tables, charts, images, barcodes, and other document elements using LINQ Reporting Engine in C#. Not only reports, you can create documents of any type such as invoices, resumes, contracts, letters, and others using our advanced .NET library.

See how easy it is to build a report in C# by taking the following steps:

  1. Choose your data source such as JSON, XML, CSV, databases, or objects of custom types.
  2. Prepare a template document in PDF or Word format such as DOC or DOCX. Using LINQ-based syntax, sort, filter, and group data directly in templates.
  3. Use our .NET reporting engine to bind this template and data from your data source using LINQ syntax and get a report in the format of your choice.

Automate document generation in C#

Using the given reporting with .NET, you can generate documents in many popular formats with professional quality:

  • Microsoft Word: DOC, DOCX, RTF, DOT, DOTX, DOTM, DOCM
  • OpenOffice: ODT, OTT
  • Fixed Layout: PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, PostScript
  • Pictures: JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, SVG, EMF, GIF

Report Generation in C#

Our reporting engine is based on the technology of dynamically binding a data source to fields in a document template using LINQ syntax. Such a reporting engine will significantly increase labor productivity when preparing documents of the same type by automating routine operations.
