Kirkland (WA, USA)- August 05, 2009- GrapeCity, the world’s largest component developer, announced today the launch of ActiveReports 6, the newest version of the leading Microsoft .NET Framework reporting tool.
Key highlights of ActiveReports 6 include:
1. New controls that make it easier to design complex reports, invoices, and layouts within its Report Designer for Microsoft’s Visual Studio. The same features are also available as part of the End User Report Designer for the users of the .NET Framework applications.
2. A new Flash report viewer that makes it easy to provide a rich, seamless report-viewing experience for the Web.
3. Digital signatures and timestamps to enable generation of truly secure PDF documents.
4. Support for Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) compressed bar codes used to reduce product packaging needs and provide more consumer information using less space.
Commenting on the release, Naoyuki Baba, GrapeCity President said, “We are committed to being the premium provider of reporting and business intelligence tools for all Microsoft .NET Framework developers. This new release, as well as our other product development initiatives for Microsoft’s developer platform, will enable us to serve our customers for a long time to come.”
"ActiveReports is just one example of how easy it is for our customers and partners to use Microsoft Visual Studio and the .NET Framework to build powerful reporting and business intelligence solutions," said Doug Seven, senior product manager, Visual Studio Team System, Microsoft. "Microsoft is pleased to be working with partners like GrapeCity to deliver world-class developer tools to our customers."
Over the last decade, ActiveReports has pioneered several technologies for Microsoft’s ActiveX and .NET Framework developers, including the first Microsoft Visual Basic report builder and the first Microsoft Visual Studio report designer. Among other innovations, the product was the first to introduce a comprehensive code-behind report programming model and an end-user report designer for the .NET Framework.
