If you are developing reports for the Web (ASP.NET), you can use the C1WebReport control included with the ComponentOne Studio Enterprise package. This control encapsulates the C1Report component and provides methods and properties that make it very easy to add reports to your Web pages. The C1WebReport control is 100% compatible with C1Report, and provides advanced caching and rendering options designed specifically for Web scenarios, as well as the usual design time editing options provided by ASP.NET server controls.

You can still use the C1Report component in your Web applications if you like, but you will have to write some code to create HTML or PDF versions of the reports. The following sections describe how to do this.

In typical Web scenarios, C1Report runs on the server machine and creates reports either in batch mode or on demand. The user can select the reports and preview or print them on the client machine, using a Web browser.
