| It’s been great spending some time with our users and potential clients! As I’ve been speaking with them, I found the common thing that attracts people to our reporting platform is simple: with the DevExpress Reporting Suite, you can invest in reports without having to necessarily worry about provider or client. Let me elaborate! The graphic to the left depicts the “don’t worry about the client scenario.” The Demo.Reports project contains the data as well as the reports. In this scenario, the report classes have literally been written only once. Because you have invested in us when it comes to reports, we want to invest in you. Should the additional requirement arise stipulating using the same reports in Silverlight (or any other platform for that matter), you can say with confidence: “No Problem!” The other projects depicted off to the left consume the reports from the Demo.Reports project in each of the client environments we support. These include Silverlight, ASP.NET, WPF, and WinForms. The sheer beauty of this setup is that you only need to write reports once. The second compelling thing I’ve noticed people are talking about is the End User Report Designer. Allowing users to customize reports is probably one of the best features we provide. When saving report definitions, our tooling allows you to save the report definition and report styles to either a file or a memory stream. What is your story with reporting? As always, if you have any questions and/or comments, feel free to get a hold of me! Seth Juarez
