What ActiveReports is
ActiveReports is a developer reporting solution for .NET and JavaScript, with report designers, viewers, and controls for applications. ActiveReports.NET targets web and desktop applications and offers designers in Visual Studio, for web and desktop end users, and as a standalone tool. Its report layouts include continuous-page, fixed-page, dashboard, and banded-list formats. Web integrations include ASP.NET MVC, Blazor, Razor Pages, React, Angular, and Vue; desktop options include WinForms and WPF.

Its designer and viewer can be embedded in client-side applications without server-side dependencies and connected to APIs or databases through JavaScript.
