Yes, You are Right...
Creating Reports is a Royal Pain in the Neck!
Tedious, Boring, Unfulfilling, Repetitious and Time Consuming are all adjectives that describe how most developers think of reporting. Let's face it, creating reports is not fun and can drive even the sanest among us mad. Worse yet are the high prices and outrageous runtime deployment fees associated with some of today's most popular tools. It is for these reasons that we set out to break the mold and deliver a reporting platform that is affordable, royalty free, easy-to-use and does not box you into a corner.
We cannot make users reduce the demand for individual reports, but we can change the way in which you approach report design - now and into the future...
Introducing XtraReports, our next generation Reporting platform for Windows® Forms and ASP.NET developers! XtraReports was engineered to help you create stunning reports for your end-users in the shortest possible time - yet maintain all the capabilities you've come to expect from today's most powerful reporting solutions. With full Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET integration, XtraReports Suite allows you to build reports in the same exact way you build a typical Windows® Forms application. XtraReports uses the same code editor (C#, VB.NET or J#), the same Property Grid, the same component Toolbox, the same alignment toolbar, and ALL available Visual Studio IDE resources.
XtraReports classes persist in exactly the same way as your Windows .NET classes, so there is no need for convoluted external file types. That's right, XtraReports only needs standard code files, which makes deployment a breeze for you and your team. NO MORE LARGE MONOLITHIC UNMANAGED BINARIES - JUST ONE LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS!

I am writing to you about the DevExpress components that I purchased earlier this year. I must say that it took me awhile to decide on a controlset and this involved using the various sets available on the market and working with them. I never had the chance to use the reporting features in your controlset before I finally decided on the purchase so I called the day my trial expired and talked to one of your sales reps who referred my question over to one of your tech support reps who graciously took my call as a technical pre-sales inquiry. I asked him a succinct question "In your opinion, are the DevExpress controls for reporting at least as good as <company name withheld>?" His answer was yes, he thought they were. I then asked him about various reporting scenarios and we discussed this for about 10 minutes or so all told.
I am writing to tell you that your technician was only partially correct. He could have easily said that the controls were vastly more powerful than <company name withheld> and that would have been correct but it likely would have given me further pause. Having actually used your reporting controls now, I am inclined to write you and tell you that your control set is BY FAR MORE POWERFUL than the <company name withheld> in the same way that a 2009 Mustang is likely to beat a Model T in a road race. I can say this and as yet I have not even delved into the scripting features of your report set.
All this for about the same price as <company name withheld> where you only get reporting.
