DevExpress XtraReports – Silverlight and WPF Reporting Review

The No-Compromise Reporting Tool for WinForms, ASP.NET, Silverlight and WPF
Native integration with DevExpress WinForms and ASP.NET Controls, unequalled design-time productivity, industrial-grade features.

Yes, You are Right…
Creating Reports can be a Royal Pain in the Neck!
Tedious, Boring, Unfulfilling, Repetitious and Time Consuming are all adjectives that describe how most developers think of reporting. Let’s face it, creating reports is not fun and can drive even the sanest among us mad. Worse yet are the high prices and outrageous runtime deployment fees associated with some of today’s most popular tools. It is for these reasons that we set out to break the mold and deliver a reporting platform that is affordable, royalty free, easy-to-use and does not box you into a corner.
We cannot make users reduce the demand for individual reports, but we can change the way in which you approach report design – now and into the future…

Download Free Tec10 iGrid (VB6 ActiveX Controls)

What iGrid Can Do ?
General Features
1.Simple Cell Matrix – Grid is a cell matrix, and you just need to define the number of columns and rows to start to work with it.
2.Storing Values of Any Types – Grid cells can store values of any available type, and you can even store values of different types in the same column simply assigning them to the required cell values!
3.Full Unicode Support on Windows NT Platform – iGrid can display and edit Unicode text without any restrictions on all Windows NT systems (NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, etc).
4.Windows Visual Styles Support – If your app uses visual styles in such systems as Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, iGrid is automatically drawn using the current visual style (can be optionally disabled).
5.Built-in Cell and Column Header Tooltips – If a cell or column header text is clipped by the boundaries, or it is partially visible because of the iGrid edges, a built-in tooltip appears to display the full text.
6.Numerous Sort Options – The data can be sorted as case-sensitive or case-insensitive strings, by fonts, colors, images, etc. Plus you can implement custom sorting rules.
7.Automatic Grouping – You can group the cell values by any available sort criteria through the visual interface or in code.
8.Tree Structure Support – One of the columns can be set as a tree allowing you to have a multi-column TreeView.
9.Column Header and Cell Images – You can use separate sets of icons of different sizes for grid cells and as icons in the header. Up to 15 different image lists can be used in the cell area. iGrid supports MS Common Controls ImageList, vbAccelerator ImageList or any other Windows image list.
10.Super Fast Dynamic Formatting – You can format your cells (change their colors, fonts, etc) on the fly without performance loss even in huge grids with 100′000 rows!
11.Virtual Mode – In virtual mode, iGrid will request new rows whenever they need to be displayed. This allows you to add rows as they are required.

Special Features
1.Fully Customizable Scroll Bars – Scroll bars implemented using true API scroll bars, and support normal 3D, flat or “Encarta” (like in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia) styles. They can be always visible or hidden, enabled or disabled independently from each other.
2.Outlook View – Row text cells allow you to have rows of a special structure like message preview in MS Outlook.
3.Grid lines – The vertical and/or horizontal grid lines can be optionally hidden; they can be also extended outside the cell area to cover all empty space. The color of the grid lines can be adjusted.
4.Background Bitmap – iGrid will tile a standard VB Picture object behind the grid.

Work Modes
1.Read-only and Disabled Modes – The grid can be set as disabled or only for viewing cells.
2.Selection Modes and Alpha-blend Selection – You can have multiple or single selections, and this property can be set either at run-time or design-time. You can use semi-transparent alpha-blend selection in the latest versions of OS.
3.Row Mode – iGrid works either as a standard grid, where you can individually highlight each cell, or as a row-based grid, where you can highlight whole rows.

Row Features
1.Add, insert or remove rows.
2.Show/hide rows to allow filtering options.
3.Row height can be set independently for each row, or automatically calculated based on the contents of the cells.
4.Rows can be manually set to be group rows (when this is set, such a row extends across all of the cells – exactly like the group rows created during automatic grouping).
5.Super fast access to rows by optional string keys (even in grids with 10′000+ rows).
6.iGrid can theoretically accommodate up to 2 billion rows.
