ActiveReports Developer 7
What's New

ActiveReports Developer contains many new features along with the popular ActiveReports engine and report viewers, plus the powerful Data Dynamics Reports designer.

New Page Layout

In the new Page layout, you can design reports at the page level without any banded sections. This lets you place controls anywhere on the report. This layout has two variations, Continuous Page Layout (CPL) and Fixed Page Layout (FPL). In a CPL report, controls grow vertically to accommodate data. In an FPL report, controls do not change in size based on the data, but you can use an OverflowPlaceHolder to handle any extra data. For more information, see FPL Page Report and CPL Page Report.
