With the Professional Edition of ActiveReports, you can host the ActiveReports Designer control in your Windows Forms application and provide your end users with report editing capabilities. The control's methods and properties allow you to save and load report layouts, monitor and control the design environment, and customize the look and feel.
In addition to the Designer control, ActiveReports offers a CreateToolStrips method to help you add default toolbars to the designer and add and remove individual tool bars and commands. This gives your designer a finished look and allows you to quickly create a functioning report designer application.
Note: You cannot host the ActiveReports Designer control in the Web application and Web site project types. |
See the Add Designer ToolStrips topic for more information.
