Spread.Net is all you need I have been using a various form of Spread back to the COM days. Spread is the most reliable spreadsheet that retrieves and stores data, whether interacting with a database or simply an Excel file. Try it out, and you will not go back to any other control.

Love ActiveReports! Love ActiveReports! With a bit of training, it's really simple to use and I love how flexible it is in regards to being able to use C# or VB to customize the report without adding complexity.

Licensing Not Fair I originally purchased the spreadsheet product when it was part of Wijimo. The product has evolved and is very good but the licensing has been a source of a major amount of frustration and has inhibited our development. As a long term user I feel like I have not been treated fairly. I should have been grandfathered when your went to server based licensing.

ActiveReportsJS We purchased ActiveReportsJS. The documentation is so poor about license activation. (designer and embedded web viewer) I am not able to connect to a database using designer to build the report.
