UniDAC with FastReports

Is there any way to use the UniDAC controls on the data page of Fast Reports.

This is my first Fast Reports project. Does anyone have any recommendations for connecting with FastReports?

Hi,

To use UniDac with FastReport you should install a "plug-in" for FastReport.
See <UniDac_install_Folder>\Demos\ThirdParty\FastReport\
You should remember to uninstall this component before reinstall FR or UniDac.

Hi,

Try to check if the Demos is a part of installation process of UniDac. I have version 6.1.6 .
The FR plug-in exist for a long time.
If no success you must ask the question to Devart team.

Michal

I was able to get the demo installed. I installed frxUniDACComponents.

I thought it might add them to the data tab of the frxReport but it did not, should it have?

I have XE6 and demos only install up to XE5 for me. So I installed it on my computer with XE2 and moved over the FR5 folder and installed with XE6. So I might have a problem.

TfrxUniDACComponents is under "FastReport 5.0" when properly installed.
