Press Release Body = Creating clear reports in a timely and efficient manner is a challenge in .NET development. The challenge is further complicated because report engines are difficult to use and demand too much time to learn them. StimulReport.Net 2006.4 addresses this challenge by offering a friendly interface for easy report creation and a complete set of charts, graphs and diagrams that allow presenting data to end users in a clear, visually appealing way. StimulReport.Net is also unique in its capability for data processing (sorting, filtering, and grouping) and full support of all opportunities to create reports from the code. With this smart report generator, script writing no longer requires the need to learn a new script language.
StimulReport.Net is a customizable .NET based report generator for rapid creation of reports. With this report engine in place, you can generate static or dynamic reports both at design time or runtime through a friendly interface of the report designer. Reports are built from data extracted from various sources. Another advantage of StimulReport.Net is an opportunity to format each report to make it best suited to present information in a clear, easy-to-grasp manner. Formatting capabilities include landscape or portrait layouts, multi-columns, conditional formatting, and calculated fields. Ready reports can be used in Windows Forms and ASP.NET. A built report can be exported to multiple file formats, such as PDF, XML, RTF, HTML, CSV, etc. No royalty fees are required for the use of StimulReport.Net at runtime.
What\'s new in 2006.4? Version 2006.4 delivers over 80 new features and enhancements to maximize productivity and flexibility of report creation. Below are just a few key features of the current release:

Other improvements include the ability to create encrypted and password protected PDF files and an opportunity to export RTF text to PDF as text, which results in a smaller size of output files.
