Visual Studio Report Designer

Create platform-agnostic reports.

With DevExpress Reports you don't have to run your application and switch back to Visual Studio to continue the development process. You can quickly create reports, preview content, and export documents to PDF, XLSX, and other supported file formats. DevExpress Reports supports the following Microsoft IDEs/frameworks:

  • Visual Studio 2019 & Visual Studio 2022
  • .NET 8, 7, 6
  • .NET Framework 4.5.2+
  • ARM Support
Visual Studio Report Designer - DevExpress Reporting

Integrated Print Preview

Preview, print, or export reports directly within Visual Studio IDE (with just one click). This integration streamlines the report creation process, allowing developers to design, preview, and fine-tune business reports without leaving the Visual Studio IDE.

Integrated Print Preview - DevExpress Reporting

Report and Data Source Wizards

Accelerate report development.

The intuitive DevExpress Report Wizard allows you to instantly generate table, crosstab, and label reports. You can customize paper size, group and sort data within a report, display summary information, create master-detail layouts, and apply desired color schemes from a variety of predefined palettes.

To make report design even simpler, you can use the DevExpress Data Source Wizard to quickly bind a report to multiple data sources (such as Excel and JSON), create queries, establish relationships between tables and data sources. From start to finish, DevExpress Reports includes all the tools you’ll need to build your best report directly within the Visual Studio IDE.
