Report Objects

  • FastReport is a band-oriented report generator. There are 13 types of bands available: Report Title, Report Summary, Page Header, Page Footer, Column Header, Column Footer, Data Header, Data, Data Footer, Group Header, Group Footer, Child and Overlay. In addition, sub-reports are fully supported.

  • A wide range of band types allows creating any kind of report: list, master-detail, group, multi-column, master-detail-detail and many more.

  • Wide range of available report objects : text, picture, line, shape, barcode, matrix, table, checkbox.

  • Reports can consist of several design pages, which allows reports to contain a cover, the data and a back cover, all in one file.

  • The Table object allows building a tabular report with variable number of rows and/or columns, just like in MS Excel. Aggregate functions are also available.

  • Powerful, fully configurable Matrix object that can be used to print pivot tables.

  • Report inheritance. For creating many reports with common elements such as titles, logos or footers you can place all the common elements in a base report and inherit all other reports from this base.

Data Sources

  • You can get data from XML, CSV, Json, MS SQL, MySql, Oracle, Postgres, MongoDB, Couchbase, RavenDB, SQLite.

  • FastReport has ability to get data from business objects of IEnumerable type.

  • Report can contain data sources (tables, queries, DB connections).

  • Thus you can not only use application-defined datasets but also connect to any database and use tables and queries directly within the report.

Internal Scripting

FastReport has a built-in script engine that supports two .NET languages, C# and VB.NET. You can use all of the .NET power in your reports to perform complex data handling and much more.

Working with report templates

You can make a report template in several ways:

Exporting

FastReport Open Source can save documents in HTML, BMP, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, EMF.

PDF export is available as a plugin. You can see an example of its use here. If this export is not enough for you and you need a full-featured PDF export with encryption, digital signing and fonts embedding - take a look at FastReport .NET Core.

Report Designer Community Edition

To edit reports, we made a special report designer build - FastReport Designer Community Edition. The program is intended for use in the Windows operating system and contains all the limitations of the Open Source version. We do not supply the source code of the editor because it is part of the commercial product FastReport .NET. Publishing this program is our good will and our wish. The MIT license does not cover its source code.
