What's New in ActiveReports v19
ActiveReports v20.1 - June 9, 2026
ActiveReports.NET v20.1 adds a set of practical improvements that make report design faster, output more reliable, and AI-assisted workflows easier to control. From smarter AI data-region generation and multi-action interactivity to better PDF/UA tagging and more consistent exports, this release is focused on improving your day-to-day reporting experience.
AI-Driven Reporting
New AI Providers: Google Gemini and Local Ollama Servers
The AI Data Region Wizard is no longer limited to OpenAI. To better support diverse security and performance requirements, we’ve introduced:
-
Google Gemini Support: Direct integration with Gemini models for developers who prefer the Google Cloud ecosystem for their AI workflows.
-
Local AI via Ollama: You can now point ActiveReports to a local Ollama instance. This allows the Wizard to suggest data visualizations using models running on your own machine or private business server—no internet connection or external API keys required.
Once configured, the Report Wizard uses your selected AI provider to assist in creating data regions, offering both the power of cloud-based intelligence and the security of local execution.
Improved AI-Driven Smart Data Regions
The AI-powered Report Wizard now produces cleaner, more consistent report layouts that match professional reporting standards, reducing the need for post-generation manual edits. The key updates:
-
Consistent Date Formatting – All date fields now default to the system Short Date (“d”) format in tables and charts.
-
Duplicate Column Removal – Automatically removes redundant columns for better readability.
-
Classic Grouped Table Layout – Uses the familiar Table Wizard structure with proper headers/footers, controlled page breaks, and collapsed groups.

Interactivity & Designer Enhancements
Interactive Filter and Jump to Bookmark in One Action
The Apply Parameters action now includes an optional TargetBookmark property that allows parameter updates and navigation to occur in a single interaction.
When a user clicks an interactive report element configured with ApplyParametersAction and TargetBookmark, the viewer applies the specified parameter changes, re-renders the report, and automatically navigates to the specified bookmark in the updated layout.
Conditional Page Breaks for Table Groups
Table Groups now support a Disabled setting for page breaks. You can set this property using an expression. For example, one that checks the value of a report parameter to decide at runtime whether a page break should be inserted after the table group.
When Disabled is True, the page break is suppressed; when False, the page break is applied. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in controlling report pagination based on user input or other conditions.
Custom Close Handling in Web Designer
The Web Designer now supports an onBeforeClose callback to control whether the confirmation dialog appears when closing or switching reports with unsaved changes. For API details, refer to the WebDesigner API and Blazor WebDesigner API documentation.
Section Report Improvements
Improved Decimal Processing in Section Reports
Section Reports now preserve decimal numbers as decimal type from start to finish in expressions, custom code, and aggregates such as SUM, AVG, MIN, and MAX. This eliminates automatic conversion to double and prevents rounding errors, delivering exact results for monetary and other high‑precision data.
Improved PDF/UA Tagging for Section Reports
In ActiveReports 20.1, we’ve streamlined how Section Reports are exported to PDF/UA.
The exported files now follow your report's visual layout exactly, making them easier for screen readers to navigate. Even complex elements like subreports and cross-section controls are now automatically organized to ensure your documents remain fully accessible and compliant without any extra effort.

Viewer & Export Optimizations
Improved Font Fidelity in JS Viewer SVG Mode
The embedFonts setting in the JS Viewer improves the report output quality in SVG render mode by embedding report‑specified fonts directly into the output.
When set to true and renderMode is svg, fonts get displayed exactly as designed in the browser, providing consistent WYSIWYG results. This enhancement is especially useful for Section Reports, where SVG is used for higher precision.
Improved Excel Export for Date/Time Values in Section Reports
Excel (XLSX) export for Section Reports now maps date and time values to Excel’s built‑in categories more accurately. If a TextBox uses a matching OutputFormat, exported cells appear as Date or Time instead of Custom.
Note: Some formats may still appear as Custom, depending on your regional settings.

Diagnostics & Debugging
Expression Evaluation Error Display
ActiveReports introduces a new ShowEvaluationErrors setting in the ActiveReports configuration file.
When enabled, it replaces empty output with a localized #Error placeholder whenever a single‑value report item’s Value expression fails to evaluate. Supported items include TextBox, CheckBox, Barcode, Image, and Bullet, ensuring that expression issues are clearly visible during design, preview, and runtime.

ActiveReports.NET v20.1 introduces practical enhancements that help developers build smarter, more reliable reporting applications with less effort. From expanded AI support via Google Gemini and local Ollama models to improved report generation, interactivity, accessibility, and export fidelity, this release focuses on streamlining development workflows while enhancing report quality and the user experience. Whether you're creating AI-assisted reports, meeting PDF/UA compliance requirements, troubleshooting complex expressions, or ensuring consistent output across web and document formats, v20.1 provides the tools and flexibility needed to deliver modern, enterprise-ready reporting solutions.

ActiveReports v20 - February 23, 2026
Hello developers! We're excited to announce that ActiveReports.NET v20 has been released! This update brings exciting new features, including some highly requested ones.
Smart Data Regions

Smart Data Regions helps you get from “I have the data” to “I have a solid first draft” without spending a bunch of time dragging fields around and trying different layouts. It lets both developers and end-users generate common data regions such as Tables, Tablix, and Charts using AI.
The workflow is simple:
-
Pick your fields (dimensions, measures, categories, whatever makes sense for your dataset).
-
Generate suggestions. ActiveReports analyzes the selected fields and produces multiple reasonable region options, based on common patterns for grouping, aggregation, and visualization.
-
Choose and insert. Each suggestion includes a short description so you can quickly compare options, then add the one you want directly to the report and refine it as needed.

The result is a set of ready-to-use configurations, not just a single guess. You’ll see a variety of region types and layouts (different groupings, table vs chart options, alternative category/series combinations), so you can pick the approach that matches what you’re trying to communicate.
Check out the Smart Data Regions in ActiveReports.NET blog for a deeper walkthrough.
Opt-in by design: All AI features in ActiveReports are completely optional. Nothing is enabled by default, and no AI functionality is included in your project unless you explicitly add and configure it.
AI Image to Report

AI Image to Report lets you jump from a static image to an editable ActiveReports report layout in minutes. Drop in an image of an existing report, either a screenshot or even a photo of a printed page, and ActiveReports uses Azure Document Intelligence to interpret what’s on the page and generate a report layout that closely matches the original.

It’s a practical shortcut when you’re starting from something that already exists:
-
Mock-ups and design comps: turn a Figma export, PDF screenshot, or stakeholder mock-up into a real report you can iterate on.
-
Legacy or “found” reports: recreate older internal reports without starting from a blank canvas.
-
Platform migrations: use a screenshot of a report from another reporting tool as a fast starting point, then refine styling, data bindings, and layout details in ActiveReports.
You’ll still have full control after the import, so you can tweak spacing, fonts, groupings, and data regions to match your standards and data model.

Reworked Code-Based Section Report Designer

Yes, you heard it right! Changes in the WinForms SDK from .NET Framework to .NET Core rendered the Code-Based Section Report Designer inoperable without an annoying rework for quite some time. We expected changes for a long time that would make it operable again, but those changes kept getting pushed off, so this year we finally decided to stop holding our breath and rework the designer from the ground up.

The result: the new Code-Based Section Report Designer fully supports .NET Core and the latest .NET releases, with no special workarounds required.
Report Snapshots (.rdlx-snap)
ActiveReports.NET v20 adds Report Snapshots with the new .rdlx-snap format. A snapshot is a pre-rendered report that captures the layout and the data exactly as they were at generation time. Because it’s already rendered, you can open it later without reconnecting to your database, which makes it a solid fit for archiving, compliance/audit trails, and offline distribution.
Snapshots work with the same tools you already use: you can view, export, and print them through the standard ActiveReports APIs. For the step-by-step setup and code details, see the Working with Snapshots documentation.
This unlocks some nice “generate once, consume many times” workflows. For example, you can render a batch of large reports on a schedule, store the snapshots, and let stakeholders open them instantly in the viewer on demand, without putting extra load on your data source. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
.NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026 Support

This update brings support for Microsoft’s latest releases, .NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026. We'd also like to announce that going forward, we will be providing an update for the latest .NET and Visual Studio versions every November or early December in the form of a Service Pack or Hotfix, so our users don’t need to wait for our next major release to stay up-to-date with the latest from Microsoft.
Visual Studio Integrated Designer Icon Refresh

The Visual Studio integrated designer has received a visual overhaul to match the aesthetics of modern development environments. We have redesigned the Toolbox and Toolbar icons with a cleaner, high-contrast style. This refresh improves icon legibility and visual clarity, making it easier to identify controls and tools while designing reports within Visual Studio.
Marquee Zoom Tool

Navigating large or complex report layouts is now faster and more precise. ActiveReports.NET v20 introduces the Marquee Zoom mode for all report types. Similar to the experience in Adobe Acrobat, this tool lets you click and drag a rectangular selection on the design surface to instantly zoom into that specific area for detailed editing.
High-Performance Direct2D Printing
ActiveReports.NET v20 upgrades desktop printing with a new Direct2D rendering pipeline, delivering faster processing and sharper output
Automatic Image Orientation
The new ApplyExifOrientation property simplifies image handling by automatically respecting EXIF orientation metadata. This ensures that photos captured on mobile devices or digital cameras display with the correct rotation, eliminating the need for manual pre-processing. The new property is available on the RDLX Image Item and the Section Report Picture Control.
PDF Custom Properties
PDF export capabilities have been expanded to include user-defined Custom Properties. For the API details, refer to the RDLX Reports PDF Export and Section Reports PDF Export documentation.
Conclusion
ActiveReports.NET v20 is a release that focuses on real-world developer workflows: accelerating layout creation with AI-assisted data regions, jumpstarting designs from existing artifacts with Image to Report, restoring full support for code-based section reports on modern .NET, and improving performance and compatibility across the board.
From report snapshots and Direct2D printing to .NET 10 support and quality-of-life enhancements in the designer, this version is built to reduce friction in your day-to-day development while giving you more control over how reports are generated, stored, rendered, and distributed. If you’re building reporting into serious .NET applications, v20 is designed to help you ship faster, modernize confidently, and maintain long-term stability without sacrificing flexibility.
