ActiveReports.NET by MESCIUS is a reporting solution for the Microsoft .NET platform that enables developers to create and deliver data-driven reports in web, desktop, and cloud applications. It supports multiple report types, including section, page, and RDL (Report Definition Language) reports, and provides visual designers, a robust rendering engine, and export options such as PDF and Excel. Designed to integrate with modern .NET and ASP.NET Core applications, it helps teams build interactive, enterprise-grade reporting features into their software.
The ActiveReports.NET v20 update introduces a new AI powered image to report capability that enables developers to convert static report images such as screenshots, mockups, PDFs, or even photos of printed pages into fully editable report layouts in minutes. By leveraging Azure Document Intelligence to analyze page structure, text, and visual elements, it significantly reduces the manual effort required to recreate existing reports, accelerates the modernization of legacy assets, and streamlines migrations from other reporting platforms. This capability provides a practical starting point for rebuilding or refining reports while preserving full control over layout structure, styling, grouping, and data bindings to ensure alignment with application architecture and development standards.
