可视化报表模型

• ActiveReports引进了基于事件的扩展隐藏代码报表模型，增强其灵活性。软件开发者几乎可以创建任何类型的报表。

• Data Dynamics Reports通过内嵌脚本支持更强的可视化报表设计。即使用较少的代码，对结构理解不深，也可以设计出让您满意的报表。

微软报表定义语言（RDL）格式

• ActiveReports使用已被证明及经过时间验证的专有RPX报表格式。

• Data Dynamics Reports使用微软的 SQL Server 2005报表定义语言（RDL）报表格式，通过自定义扩展保护您现有的投入。

直接支持商业报表

• 近十几年来，对于不同的商业报表要求，ActiveReports总能高效高质地完成，远远超出消费者的预期。

• 除了满足标准的报表需求，Data Dynamics Reports还直接支持商业报表功能，比如仪表盘，关键绩效指示器（KPIs），高级的数据可视化功能，主从形式的报表模板和报表主题。

为商业用户提供更好的输出选择

• ActiveReports支持HTML，RTF， TIFF， PDF 和Microsoft Excel输出。

• Data Dynamics Reports除了支持上述输出格式外，还支持Microsoft Excel转换，Microsoft Word输出和图片输出（BMP，JPEG， GIF， PNG 和 EMF格式）。

ASP.NET Ajax网页报表查看器

• ActiveReports 为Windows系统提供报表查看控件（Report Viewer Contrul），为网页提供交互的Flash报表查看器，HTML渲染和PDF输出。

• Data Dynamics Reports有一个独立的报表预览器。对于网页，它使用本地的ASP.NET Ajax报表预览器和交互的HTML渲染。

其他商业报表功能

• 通过主从报表模式，软件开发者为终端用户提供了一套可自由选择的格式，并保证创建的报表保持一致的外观。

• 将报表风格、颜色和图像等报表主题信息保存在一起，以方便升级。

• 交叉表的报表drill-downs（在一个报表中点击转到其他地方）和drill-through（访问数据库）功能，可满足终端用户深层地分析数据。

How is Data Dynamics Reports different from ActiveReports?

Visual Reporting Model

• ActiveReports introduced the world to an extensive event-based code-behind reporting model to enable extreme flexibility, allowing developers to generate almost any kind of report.
• Data Dynamics Reports follows a more visual report designing model with inline scripting that meets most of your reporting needs with less code and less understanding of the architecture.

Microsoft Reporting Definition Language (RDL) Format

• ActiveReports uses the proprietary RPX reporting format that is proven and time tested.
• Data Dynamics Reports uses Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 Report Definition Language (RDL) reporting format, with custom extensions to leverage your existing investments.

Direct Support for Business Reporting

• ActiveReports has been exceeding customer expectations for over a decade of fulfilling the large volume, high performance, production reporting requirements of small and large businesses.
• Data Dynamics Reports, in addition to fulfilling standard reporting needs, features direct support for business reporting features such as dashboards, KPIs, advanced data visualization, master-child report templates and reporting themes.

Better Export options for Business Users

• ActiveReports supports exporting to HTML, RTF, TIFF, PDF and Microsoft Excel.
• Data Dynamics Reports, in addition to supporting these export formats, also supports true Microsoft Excel transformation, Microsoft Word export and exporting to image formats such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG and EMF.

ASP.NET Ajax Web Report Viewers

• ActiveReports includes a Report Viewer Control for Windows, and for the Web, a new interactive Flash Report Viewer along with HTML rendering and PDF exporting.
• Data Dynamics Reports comes with a stand-alone Report Viewer, and for the Web it uses a native ASP.NET Ajax Report Viewer as well as interactive HTML rendering.

Other Business Reporting Features

• Reporting templates for master-child reports enable developers to provide end users with a set of formats they can start with, and enable report authors to create a consistent look across an entire suite of reports.
• Create a cache of reporting themes for common styles, colors, and images in a single location to simplify updates.
• Report drill-down and drill-through capabilities with matrix (crosstab) functionality enables end users to analyze data with a high degree of granularity.
