Summary = March 22, 2005. 9Rays.Net, the provider of award winning
tools and components for .NET developers worldwide, announces the
release of Report
Sharp-Shooter 1.9, a striking reporting solution expressly designed
for .NET Framework.
Press Release
Body = Many developers who have to face the need to add reporting
to their applications treat this process as a boring, annoying,
irritating and tiresome one. This is not always simplified by using
third party reporting components for their high cost and low flexibility.
9Rays.Net aimed its activity at eliminating the negative points
of engaging third party products for application development. This
resulted in creating a powerful royalty free reporting tool, combining
rich
functionality, flexibility, ease of use and acceptable licensing
costs. Report Sharp-Shooter meets the strictest requirements of
.NET developers and other IT professionals for quick data access,
easy embedding into enterprise applications, and managing the information
formatting and its delivery over the web. The impressive set of
comprehensive features allowing creating reports of any complexity
and appearance without extra efforts is constantly being extended
in order to make
Report Sharp-Shooter the most flexible and functionally rich. The
concept of Report Sharp-Shooter presumes it as a universal solution
now supporting 16 interface localizations and capable of efficient
functioning with the most widespread .NET IDEs such as Microsoft
Visual Studio, Borland C# Builder and Delphi .NET as well as without
an IDE at all. Moreover, now Report Sharp-Shooter 1.9 is amplified
with utilization examples for VB.NET and Delphi.NET users. Presently
it contains over 90 examples written in C#, VB.NET and Delphi.NET.
The Class Reference has also been sufficiently complemented. Omitting
the whole list of new Report Sharp-Shooter’s advantages, we
shall only mention some basic ones simply to create a notion. Report
Sharp-Shooter allows .NET developers to be extremely productive
in creating effective and powerful reporting solutions for both
Windows and Web applications. It also provides the ability to create
unlimited master-detail levels in a single report without having
to use any subreports. A master detail report can be created using
just a single report and a datasource with native ADO.NET data relations.
Report Sharp-Shooter is shipped with an end-user designer which
allows developers to:
• Create your own elements, export filters and data sources
due to the open plug-in architecture of the product.
• Create objects such as watermarks on a page background using
page overlays.
• Use rich visual controls set, including texts, shapes, pictures,
bar codes and zip codes. Any WinForms control can also be used as
a report element.
• Use different style sheets to optimize reports for preview,
print, export into 13 popular formats etc.
• Use third party business objects (not ADO.NET) in design
time. You simply need to drag and drop them on the report.
• Use multiple data sources in a single report.
• Create reports with the exact positioning without bands
utilization. Report Sharp-Shooter 1.9 also allows simple creation
of a custom viewer/designer. With Report Sharp-Shooter 1.9 a developer
is capable to migrate from Crystal Reports to Report Sharp-Shooter
due to an automatic converter included in the package. Another important
thing is that a developer can obtain the entire source code for
Report Sharp-Shooter and can rest assured that his/her application's
destiny is under full control. “This solution is definitely
to occupy a good marketplace niche among the world’s leading
report engines due to the well measured harmony between its smart
functioning and affordable price,” said Eugene Akinshin, Ph.
D., director of 9Rays.Net development department.
