Visual Reports gives the software developer a comprehensive way to create and generate presentation quality reports within their software application. The software developer designs a report using the interactive designer, then programs the printing aspects of the report within an IDE environment, such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio.NET. The software developer is responsible for providing the application data needed to produce the report and has full control of the report properties and methods using a .NET or COM interface.
