Report Designer is a powerful, visual report design tool that lets you manage report definition files, define report layout, bind data to report fields, format reports, and enhance your reports using advanced components such as labels, charts, pictures, and drawings.

Report Designer features an intuitive, Microsoft Access-style user interface with a rich set of form components and formatting tools at your disposal that give you total control over the content, layout, and format of your reports. If you are familiar with the Microsoft Access report design view, you will find Report Designer very easy to use.

Report Designer provides a Report Wizard that guides you through the process of creating a basic report definition from scratch. You can then proceed from this starting point to further design specialized or more complex reports using Report Designer’s comprehensive data-binding, layout design, and formatting tools.
