Our company never stops in its researches and masters new technologies. One of them is creation of Stimulsoft DevReports Studio.

«Stimulsoft DevReports Studio is the first report designer that allows users to edit reports in Web», says Vladimir Hotchenko, our Team Leader of the product development department. «And the most attractive thing is that there is no need for you to install .Net Framework, ActiveX components or some special plug-ins on the client’s machine. All you need is a Web-browser».

The only requirement for the Stimulsoft DevReports Studio is a web-browser that supports Flash Player 9.

Stimulsoft DevReports Studio software engineers take care of the product interface. Ribbon interface, visual component builder, undo-redo functions, functions for work with the Clipboard, tabular editing, zooming, and great many other useful features are available in the product.

To integrate the report designer in an Asp.Net application you need to put one non-visual Asp.Net component on a page. And then, only one string if code runs the report designer in a browser.

The first version of a product will be released in 2008.
