Peter Fallon likes the combination of the ActiveReports Designer and the power to customize

"I use ActiveReports because it allows me to combine the best of both worlds - a visual Designer coupled with the abiity to hand tune the reports to any degree using code behind, then compile the result into my app and present a professional print preview/export experience to my clients. The only way to get a more powerful reporting experience is to write pure GDI+ code.

And the same report code works on Windows Forms and ASPX systems. Fantastic."

It's relatively painless to integrate into your project, has a great designer tool, and has plenty of power for more advanced reporting needs. When I started becoming an ASP.NET MVC zealot, I was afraid of losing the ability to use this great tool. With a little tinkering, I got it to play nicely within an MVC project and have included the steps below for future reference:"....

Ron Hatfield, Flight Safety Corp. on the power and user interface of Data Dynamics Reports


"I learned of Data Dynamics at the spring Dev Connection Conference in Orlando Florida in March of 2008. At that time I was searching for a better way to do reports for our newly acquired Training Management System which is powered by SQL. The out of the box solution for reporting used an older version of MS Access. Additionally, the presentation/deployment of those reports was much less than I liked. I was searching for a solution that was powerful, flexible, with a GUI that made report development easy and convenient, but could also allow us new direction possibilities such as deploying our reports via a report viewer to the web (without having to re-create the wheel)."
