Editor's review
This is a reporting tool for the Silverlight platform from the Microsoft.
Stimulsoft Reports.Silverlight is a reporting tool created for the Silverlight platform. The tool has three parts. One is the report rendering part that is in the server, showing and editing of reports in the web browsers(and this part utilizes the Silverlight capabilities) and the third part is a set of ASP.NET components for viewing and editing in the Web browser. The utility has an independent/standalone report designer for the WinForms platform. You could create reports and use it with other components too. It is thus possible to display and use reports in the web-application that look as professional, quality and functional as is possible as with desktop applications. As the report viewer is implemented in Silverlight, it possible to make it more functional, more dynamic, and more interactive than the standard interfaces in a web browsers. Limitations of HTML will not apply.
The report designer is also provided as an ASP.NET component. You could edit reports in the browser window when only Silverlight Runtime is available on the client side. Some useful functionality this tool has include drag and drop operations, clipboard, undo-redo operation, wizards, ribbon UI, visual report builder, zooming, tabular editing, and others. Just dragging the ASP.NET component to the page is all the installation that is required. The report designer interface is well laid out. Same goes for the report viewer. Controls are easily accessible and most end users will be able to get comfortable with it very soon. This is a nice tool, if you needed this kind of reporting mechanisms and uses Silverlight capabilities.
