Award-winning enterprise software development tools provider GrapeCity announced the release of ActiveReports 13.
ActiveReports 13 was released with exciting new features such as a ProDesigner for Web, a JavaScript viewer, overhauled charts, a FormattedText control, and new VSDesigner enhancements. It also includes an upgraded developers’ design toolkit for intuitive and dynamic reports for the enterprise.
With just a few lines of code, developers can easily embed the ProDesigner for Web, empowering end-user teams to design, create, and modify reports. End users can create or open existing reports in a design view to manipulate and preview the layout for a WYSIWYG result. The fully-customizable web version supports full customization, so developers can decide which features end users can use.
The JSViewer is a JavaScript library that can run on any modern browser, providing a fast rendering experience. Major web application frameworks supported by the JSViewer are Angular, Vue, ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, and HTML. A familiar .NET-like syntax for embedding and customizing the JSViewer minimizes the developer learning curve.

“ActiveReports users have requested the web designer for a long time, and they’ll find the new ProDesigner for Web control to be modern, easy-to-use, and easy to implement,” said Jody Handley, Product Marketing Manager at GrapeCity. “The software updates have made ad hoc reporting a truly dynamic and creative experience.”
ActiveReports has a report designer integrated directly into the Visual Studio. The new version improves the depths of this integration by extending the Visual Studio theme to the ActiveReports designer and its supporting windows. This provides a positive UI change for the designer.
ActiveReports 13 is now available free of charge for a 30-day trial period. Online visitors can also access tutorials, forums, documentation, and videos as part of the GrapeCity experience.
