Besides previewing reports at design time, you can also view the reports you design in the Viewers. ActiveReports Viewers support technologies such as Blazor, ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, Angular, React, HTML5/JS, WPF, and WinForms.

These lightweight Viewers allow you to easily view, print, and export reports. The viewers are highly interactive, providing users the ability to enter parameters, perform sorting and drill-down, navigate to other reports using drill-through links, add hyperlinks to external web pages, and so on.

The report viewers supported by ActiveReports for web and desktop applications are:

Desktop Viewers

• Support Annotations to change the colors, transparency, border, font, alignment, and other properties.
• Advanced report printing options to specify the printer and set options like page scale, page margins, and watermarks.
• Touch support to flexibly interact with the viewers using simple touch gestures.
• Customizable when used as a control.

Web Viewers
